In my opinion, if the social policy was suddenly altered, there would be more costs than benefits. For example, if the abortion laws changed, causing abortions to become illegal it would seriously endanger women’s health. Not all abortions are due to unplanned pregnancies. Some are due to medical complications that could take the life of the mother or the child (source 2). Altering the abortion laws will not stop abortions, it will leave women to seek help in an unsafe way. According to guttmacher.org “More than 22,000 women die yearly from complications of unsafe abortions,” (source 1). They also state, “86% of abortions take place in the developing world, most of these in countries where abortion laws are highly restrictive,” (Source 1)
