This article talks about how to reduce the number of women getting abortions now-a-days. The article says that many states in the United States of America, the state officials are focusing on supply-side policies rather than the demand-side policies. If the supply of doctors who are capable of doing this operation decrease, then the amount of abortions will decrease as well. The article states that there are specific qualifications that each hospital must have to be able to abort a baby, and the requirements are very specific, so not every hospital has them. This causes the supply of places to decrease. The United States of America hopes that if the supply of places where the operation is able to occur, decreases, then the quantity of abortions in the country will decrease as well.
This relates to what we are studying now because we are focusing on different supply-side and demand-side policies and talking about which ones are better for the government and for the economy of a country.
