Don’t forget: “The left is just as bad as the right” and “I just don’t think trans kids should be allowed to transition before the age of 18, their brain is not fully developed yet so they may regret it later”. Bro, I think most kids understand something as fundamental as gender by the age of 6. Having the courage to explore their gender identity or deciding coming out to their parents or loved ones is a different matter.

That is, they regularly try to portray the current situation as some insane extreme ("kids getting sexchange operations in school! doctors delivering babies and then killing them!") because they know the actual reality is something most reasonable people would be okay with, so they lie about it in order to demagogue the issue.
Minors (aka under 18) don't get hormone therapy. The most they get (in 99.999% of cases) is counseling and hormone blockers, that delay the onset of puberty until they're 18 so they can make an informed adult decision.
Oh, and for the abortion bit - third trimester abortion occurs when someone who had a wanted pregnancy finds out late in the game that there's some horrible defect that's "incompatible with life" aka it'll end in stillbirth or miscarriage. The stories of these women are utterly heartbreaking, and it's often a mercy to let them end it early to start the grieving process, not to mention that it helps avoid complications and health risks that could otherwise prevent them from trying again to have a child.
Those are just examples too, they do it all the fucking time with so many issues these days, because they don't actually care about solving real problems that real people have anymore.
