So he should have to pay a tax for a service/product he has absolutely no say in?

Brilliant liberal logic.

The first time I ever heard that "abortion shouldn't be used as a form of birth control" was from my 8th grade history teach, who was a woman. This was Montgomery County, MD, one of the most liberal places in the USA, and possibly the best educational system in the country....

What does she get that you do not?

If you want to have sex and to CHEAP to use birth control, start saving your money and pay for your own abortion.
Decent people have better things to do with their hard earned money than pay for you to murder your child.
Who do these people think they are anyway?
They are forcing us to pay for murder?
Yeah, lets call a spade a spade!
You are murdering a child.
I don't want any part of your beliefs and you don't have to have any part of mine.
For those who believe this is wrong, tell the IRS you don't believe in murder and don't want any part of it.
Start saving your money, we need ours to raise our children.
You don't want to have your baby?
You want to kill it?
Pay for it yourself!

The abortion mortality rate is 0.2-1.2 per 100,000 abortions in countries where abortion is legal.

The mortality rate in countries where abortion is penalized is 330 per 100,000.

Unsafe Abortion = Maternal Mortality
Abortionists should be arrested.

Unless you were raped, it's not a punishment. It's the CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR ACTIONS. You are AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY by aborting it.
People don't have sex just to get pregnant, ask anyone with a sex life. Pregnancy IS a result of sex and wouldn't it be wonderful if humanity was of a mind to never have sex unless and until the two people involved were wanting to have a child? Sure, nobody would hardly ever have sex but that's the price everyone would have to pay. When we get to that point abortion will not even be an issue so get to work on that.

But until then abortion is a form of responsibility, one that you don't like but that's neither here nor there. When a woman is pregnant unexpectedly she needs to change her life in order to carry and deliver and care for a new life. If she is unable or unwilling to do that then the outlook is grim for all concerned.

Since there are many ways a pregnany can be terminated there is no getting around the fact that you can not prevent women from doing so if they choose. Absolutely. Nothing. You. Can. Do.

Who says the father had no say? Just because a woman can get an abortion without the father's input doesn't mean he had no say in the matter.

Medical abortions carry risks and are no fun. Nobody is getting abortions several times a year...which is what using it as a form of birth control would result in. If you find someone doing that and really care about the issue then I suggest getting personally involved to get her the emotional help she needs. But most women are are not crazy and don't use abortion as their primary form of BC.

Comments?
It's a huge constitutional FAIL.

If you specifically tax abortion then you are treating women that want access to abortions as a separate class. The violates the Equal Protection clasue of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
