If we're talking Issues,then we've got our own vocab for these things.
There's things called "policies" that flag your nation's status on various decisions, like banning cars, or making abortion illegal. These are activated in the appropriate decisions in issues. For example, Issue 136 can identify you as an "abortion illegal" nation.
Repealing these is done through what we call "policy reversals". These are also done through issues, often tailor-written for that purpose. For example issues 358 and 817 can reverse the decision to ban abortion.
I'd be strongly against having a button that let's you deactivate policies without recourse to issues,
Firstly, policy changes come with stat changes (of course), so you'd be adding buttons that change your nations stats with no context or story to them. Hell, that's one step away from adding a slider that let's you adjust your civil rights score, by which stage, what's the point of Issues again?
Secondly, it removes the narrative purpose of reversal issues, which are a great storytelling tool, showing that your decisions have consequences, and that those consequences create further story.
My fellow editor Nation of Quebec maintains a list of issues that need writing, and included on those are reversals of policies that currently don't have any reversal narrative. These include:
A specific reversal issue for nations that have abolished their upper house (see Bicameral Backlash)
A specific reversal issue for nations that have banned zoos
A specific reversal issue for nations who have chosen to adopt proportional representation
A specific reversal issue for nations that have legalised same sex marriage.
A specific reversal issue for nations that have established term limits (#54)
A specific reversal issue for nations that have banned circumcision (#467)
A specific reversal issue for nations that have allowed police to have cars while the rest of the populace does not have cars, and which reverts the situation to nobody being allowed cars.
A specific reversal on implementing subcutaneous identification microchips
A specific reversal issue for nations that have stopped foreigners from running for office (#427)
A specific reversal issue to ban torture for nations allowing it
I'm pretty sure that list is up to date, though not my role to maintain it, of course.
