Money is paramount to liberals as well. You don't proposed spending trillions upon trillions of dollars and then say money isn't important. It's important to all of us.
We as political partisans often like to ascribe these almost God like qualities to our political party's to justify our support for them. In reality they exist simply to garner the most number of votes to win elections. Thus they love wedge issues and abortion is definitely a wedge issue. As long as Republicans tell their supporters they are working to over turn it it garners them support. As long as Democrats can tell voters they are protecting abortion rights from Republicans it garners them support. They both love it.
I think you are correct.
I recall Nina Burleigh. This "feminist" said "I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal".
BTW, in January 2019 the Daily Telegraph was forced to apologize and pay "substantial damages" for publishing an article written by Burleigh titled “The Mystery of Melania” that the Telegraph admitted contained numerous falsehoods.
