Totally constitutional since anything, including inaction, can be taxed now. I say we go for it. We're always taxing things to deter behavior in our society, this is no different.
Thanks for concisely demonstrating your ... um ... 'understanding'... of the Constitution of the United States.

nope.
you never fix a problem via taxation.
education is the answer to the problem.
abortions are expensive, have no happy endings, and are dangerous and can result in death.
when we as a society get all women to understand that abortion is just an awful form of birth control and THEY see that it is, then the abortions will stop.
we certainly don't need more taxes in this country.
You do realize that by granting churches non-profit status and no taxation, that is was an effort by the Truman (I believe) administration to keep a clear and distinct separation of church and state as to avoid any church profits from finding their way into Washington, right?
Yes, and it was a good idea for that reason. I support that reasoning, very much so. But it seems that religion is filtering into politics anyway, the laws seem fuzzy and gray. I read that there is an annual coalition to bring pastors out and into politics despite the tax ramifications. Some are already doing so. You're absolutely correct, that IF the tax except status keeps the church out of politics, it should remain untaxed, only for that reason.
I agree with you, yet republicans complain about moochers in this country. Explain to me how its good to allow a woman who isn't in the best position to raise a kid, who probably will struggle and need to be supported by the government helping the conservative cause? O yea, we'll put them in foster care because we all know that's a smooth operation
Well, not ALL republican's, because I am one and I don't agree with their stance on this issue. Most of my friends who are republican's believe in abortion too. Notice I said ABORTION and not "Pro Choice/Pro Life." I believe both to be stupid political correct statements. You are either pro abortion or anti abortion. Lets quit sprucing up the meanings with stupid words.
Simply put: Abortion's should be readily available to anyone who wants them, needs them, etc and for whatever purpose. No. I am not a fan of using it for birth control. However, I'd rather the baby be aborted now, then have to grow up unwanted, possibly abused, and funded by my tax dollar. Yes, call me selfish all you want. However, if some of these unwanted children were not had to begin with, many of our social problems today would be reduced; including the costs.
In fact, this always raises cain, however there is alot of evidence to suggest, since Roe V Wade violent crime and the murder rate in this country has gone down.
