If the social values you want to engineer don't include a notion that "communities should be able to live according to their own moral codes," you might want to reconsider that.

I personally want abortion, legalized, but find the reaction to the repeal of roe v. wade ruling symptomatic of why America needs serious change. Abortion is obviously an incredibly thorny issue, and pretending that there's only one solution right for everyone in the entire world, and that the _only_ response here is anger, is ignoring both the thorny question of when exactly a fetus becomes a human and gains rights, and what, exactly, the constitution should mean, if anything.

Pretending that this incredibly complex topic is simple and that all right-thinking people will reach the same conclusion is just asking for trouble.

Since 1973, there have been 60 million abortions in the US... a number equivalent to the current population of the nation of Italy.
