Why is everyone so obsessed with Abortion?

I am genuinely confused as to why this topic is the #1 political issue, year after year.

Are people actually getting this many abortions? Why do they care so much about their "right" to terminate an unborn child's life?

It just feels obsessive at this point, to a neurotic degree. I find it disturbing how the desire to perform abortions, make it easier, and less destigmatized is driving so many people. They seem to care about it more than homelessness, safe cities, or literally any other issue.

Why?
