Are you praying for the conversion of the abortionists, the queers, the socialists, the mohammedans?

Any believer is rightly infuriated by circumstances and atitudes which make those things easier to practice and minimize the incentive to repentance.

I agree. That, BTW, is what "social justice" really means ... a "just" society is one which is ordered so as to encourage folks to do right. The communists have completely misrepresented the term. So yes, it is right and just to be infuriated by the social injustices which inhibit folks from repentance. And it is right and just to be infuriated by the public practice of so many evils.

Yet we are commanded to love our enemies, etc.

By that I believe we are, at minimum, to desire their repentance even as we combat the evil that they do.
