What about the converse example of yours, eg: if there is a shame policy around being pro-life and perhaps suggesting on some specific week criteria after which abortions should not be allowed?
What you're calling "thought police society" is basically another way of saying that "there are social norms in a particular society". This is true anywhere.
You may not like the social norms of a particular place and time, or think your rival political tribe is from the dark ages (I recommend going outside to touch grass if you're in a Western country and believe this), but the base point is that any group of people that has any sort of group cohesion has preferred social behaviours and disliked antisocial behaviours.
