Since abortion is legal and LSD illegal most everywhere, there must be a lot of people who are for one but against the other.

Not necessarily.

Abortion is a pressing practical issue People may be very vocal about it.

Psychedelics is mostly an issue of recreation, even without a few millennia of consumption ingrained into culture like alcohol.

So the efforts people exert to legalize each are commensurate to how pressing each issue is.

People frame it as an issue of recreation, but it's actually a mental health crisis that these are not more accessible.
