What about republican abortions? Should we tax those?

I just love the hypocritical liberal agenda sometimes. (note: I find the same hypocrisy for a conservative agenda, too)

Everyone has a right to free healthcare, to education, foodstamps, government housing, equal wages, marriage, and on and on and on. Yet, an unborn baby does not have a right to life.

I guess I just don't get it.

I know the comparison seems absurd, but these "couples" are procreating, they are making another human being; an abortion should come with some level of consequence.

Again, the majority of my stance on this issue pertains to those who wait to get their abortions. Late term abortions are, by definition, murder.
john wayne gacy has nothing to do with abortion, stay on topic. abortion does have consequence, and the woman who has one deals with it herself. again, get educated about late term abortions. women don't just change their minds at 8 months along, call any abortion clinic and have an abortion because swimsuit season is around the corner. late term abortions are done only for medical reasons. you need two doctors to sign off on them and only about 1% of abortions are late term, which amounts to about 1,000 a year

It's as constitutional as making it cost $10,000 to vote.

I would agree to it if we also taxed ED meds like Viagra and Ciallis at 100000 times the regular tax. Also vasectomies.

And I would like all women to get free birth control pills, that would be an even exchange IMO.

I agree. I think contraception should be as readily available as the air we breath. You would still have your lazy welfare bums that are too lazy to take them, though.

To answer: yes only the rich could afford abortions.

To answer the other question: We want to deter abortions for the same reason liberals want to deter what I put into my body with regulations and taxes.

you want access to abortions for the rich only and not the poor? sex education and easy access to birth control are what deters abortions. your random talking points about what "liberals" want, are off topic and strawman positions

That's insance - 10,000% tax. No more than 9,999% + FEES is as far as I would go. With a 50 years to life, prison sentance thrown in for infanticide
