The abortion issue really is unreal, it's as though the United States is doing everything it can to move backwards.

But the US as a whole isn't. It's specifically one party that's doing that, and they're doing that for a whole host of issues that shouldn't even be in question. Sure, the Dems aren't exactly great in a lot of ways and the hypocrisy can get a little annoying, but at least they aren't actively trying to make everything worse (or when they are it's at least slightly offset by doing something beneficial). It's like choosing between a roommate who farts in the kitchen every morning while you're eating breakfast and a roommate who pisses in your bowl of cereal every morning: Neither are particularly great and you'd prefer a third option or to live alone, but in a scenario where all you have are those two options, one of those is clearly a better idea than the other and "they're both equally bad" is a ridiculous take that isn't nearly as reasonable and open-minded as you think it is.
