this seems like an uncharacteristic strategic mistake from the Democrats.
the left's modus operandi nowadays is energizing their voter base with The Current Thing. yet they've been finding it harder and harder lately as the population grows increasingly lethargic. in particular, evidence suggests global warming was their Next Thing after Ukraine, but that it failed to generate the expected response.
that said, Roe vs Wade actually made quite a splash. so why would they lose their legitimacy here? as long as the Roe vs Wade ruling is in effect (no matter what the ruling actually means), they can present themselves as the opposition. publicly disregarding the ruling doesn't seem like a good idea.
I think they're working on the assumption that with a friendly media covering for them, they won't.
Remember, as long as they do what they're told by a bunch of unelected, unaccountable billionaires, they'll have almost every media organisation in the US going to bat for them.

You have far too much faith in democrats.
This is energizing thier base.
Just to be clear, their base wants to dissolve the senate, dissolve the electoral college, and pack the courts, and make them an elected body.
They want the entire government to be the US House of Representatives. If you want to see how that works, look at the UK.
