Can all our social problems be unified?

Looking at two social problems 'Abortion' - a distinctive of the social conservatives and 'Climate Change' - a dinstinctive of the social progressives have more in common than one might imagine. I'm not trying to give these issues equal weight, but looking at something at the heart of each issue.

For a pro-choice supporter, a woman has the right to choose (before I continue I am an advocate for human rights especially those who rights have been marginilised by society, and I am not anti-abortion from state-rule, I believe we ought to address the roots of the issue of abortion, not the symptom itself). However what is lacking is reponsibility and I'm not solely referring to a woman's responsibiliy, I'm also referring to the responsibility of a man. So carelessness + lack of responsibility of both genders may lead to an abortion.

However in comparison environmental issues, namely climate change a free market and private enterprise supporter might ask the state ought to stay out of private business, claiming their own right to make decisions and perhaps pollute as they feel is neccesary. Again there is a lack of responsibility, and decisions may only benefit the pockets of the CEO. So again carelessness + lack of responsibility might lead to making capital at the expense of the environment.

Although this is only one example, is it fair to maybe argue that there is a unified cause to all our social problems??

Perhaps?
