General Description[]
The Abortion Law is a non cancellable policy in Democracy 3 that controls your preference in terms of abortion. You can either move towards banning it or encouraging it.
In Game Description[]
Few areas of policy incite stronger emotions that the debate over abortion. On the 'pro-life' side, are arguments about the rights of an unborn child, and arguments are often made from a religious standpoint. On the 'pro-choice' side, there is the argument that the State should not have more say over what a woman does with her body than she does. Making any change to the State's position on abortion requires a hefty amount of political capital.
