Which of these seems worse:

1,038,000 abortions were performed in the United States in 2024. Every one of these resulted in the death of an unborn child.

As of late 2024, the number of deaths in Gaza since the beginning of the conflict on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 70,000, with some estimates suggesting even higher figures.

Talking about the US constitution at the moment, but it's probably general for any constitution that can lawfully be amended.

"Thirty-three amendments to the Constitution of the United States have been proposed by the United States Congress and sent to the states for ratification since the Constitution was put into operation on March 4, 1789. Twenty-seven of those, having been ratified by the requisite number of states, are part of the Constitution. The first ten amendments were adopted and ratified simultaneously and are known collectively as the Bill of Rights. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments are collectively known as the Reconstruction Amendments."

The 18th Amendment is the only one to have been repealed (by the 21st Amendment).

I have a huge disdain for leftists, liberals, democrats, or whatever they are now. They seem to favor and obsess over radical social engineering, identity politics, and want to demonize or ostracize those who don't fall into their their woke nonsense. They are the type that cause you to lose your job or livelihood just because you used the wrong "pronoun". They are the ones who push for Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and including schoolchildren in their wacko beliefs. They want to fund genital mutilation for kids and let illegal aliens roam freely without consequences. They want you to pay for abortions. They want you to foot the bill for migrants. Then, they want to throw the book at you if you are too persistent with women, claiming it is "harrassment" or "stalking" for staring more than a few seconds. These are crazy and rabid people who hate Christians and Jews but will roll out the red carpet for Muslims and anyone who isn't white.

Then you have the hard-core right, who loves police officers but shits on their firefighters and EMS personnel (at least here in my state). Fire and EMS is often treated second-class, is not considered much in legislation, and is disregarded in many situations. My state is one of only 10 that doesn't have enhanced penalties for assaulting a firefighter or EMT, but the recent "Back the Blue" Act enhanced these penalties for assaulting a cop, leaving out firefighters and EMTs with this legislation. 42 percent of fire departments in my state are classified by the state Fire Marshal's office as either "At-Risk" or "Distressed". There are no incentives for volunteers. There is no appeal process for sanctions against EMS personnel licenses, which can stem from a single complaint. My state also experiences an issue with hospital closures and infrastructure issues due to a large influx of new residents from out-of-state and lack of funding. The attitude of a lot of Republicans, sadly, is that if it doesn't affect them in the current mome
