What I learned trying to classify abortion access across the rich world

In a sense, the refusal of most of American media to even give airtime to the discussion of when a fetus should gain rights/protections is why such extreme measures are being on the table. They painted this as a binary issue with no nuance or even discussion as regards the status of an unborn fetus so the reaction has been similarly binary with total lack of nuance.

This is unfortunately every issue in American discourse now though - the media obfuscates and confuses, instead of illuminating and hopefully educating. The media is the biggest cause of conflict in the US system now, because it's just become hyper-partisans shouting at each other and otherizing the other 50%.

I don't think anything disturbs me more than the effects of American public discourse. It's gotten impossible to have reasonable conversations on most things.
