The difference in ideals here isn't whether or not abortion is bad. The question is how to go about ending abortion. One side believes that making it illegal will end it, and that other believes that proper family planning, birth control and education will do more than that, without stepping on a woman's rights to her own body. Honestly, the language here is all bad and has been debated by linguists. Check out this one: http://linguistiquips.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/pragmatics-in-abortion-debates/ You see, being "Anti-Abortion" doesn't automatically make the other side "Pro-Abortion" just as much as being "Pro-Choice" doesn't make your side "Anti-Choice." It would be silly of me to think that because you are not "Pro-Choice" that you do not like people who choose anything at all. Democrats aren’t FOR abortions.
