They could be but the could also be really bad things. I am personally uneasy about how far we are and continue to extend medical assistance in dying (it's one thing to help someone a few months away from death from cancer to speed things up and avoid a ton of suffering and expense, it's something entirely different to allow the government to off people that would have otherwise likely lived for decades, are minors, are retarded, etc). That is too new for me to have strong objections though, I will wait another decade and see where the regulations/practices settle down to before I draw a strong conclusion.

The abortion thing is also potentially problematic because it hasn't really been settled. The old law was just thrown out without replacement legislation, which legalized everything from early abortion (which most people are fine with) all the way up to very late stage abortion (which a large minority of people are very much not ok with). This leaves a wedge for people that feel strongly against the policy to convince more people to also be against by referencing the extreme minority of very late stage abortions as a cludge to remove support for the vast majority of abortions that are a lot earlier. I'm a big fan of abortion (mothers seem to know when they are going to raise criminals and abortion removed so many future criminals that it actually changed the crime stats) so I would prefer for us to go through the uncomfortable situation the USA is currently going through and settle this with a compromise that removes a lot of that wedge pressure, while maintaining abortion laws that would allow the vast majority of currently performed abortions with no additional bureaucratic BS.
