If the exercise of the right to keep and bear arms - the purchase and ownership of firearms in particular - can be heavily taxed to encourage or force people to not exercise said right for the "good" of society, why can't the same logic be applied to abortion?

Would punitive taxes on abortion, making it less attractive and affordable, be a legitimate means of limiting the number of abortions unterdaken each year and the number of innocent human lives ended for convenience?

The Constitution does not prevent behavior modification taxes, so that argument is out.

Are there any laws that stop states from raising taxes on abortion?

Didn't the right attempt the same kind "behavior modification" when it tried to impose a "voting tax" by insisting that everyone must purchase some specific kind of "voter id" from the government? How did that work out for you in 2012?

Nice failure.

There was NO specific kind of ID ever mentioned or considered, and no one would have been forced to purchase it.

Epic is the name of your little failure.

The tax should be levied ONLY upon the procedure and at 100% of the cost.

No one should profit from the death of another human being.

Why 100% of the cost? That's ridiculous as well.

Come on, you know you assholes would be screaming bloody murder if they put 100% tax on soda. Hell, you do it with infinitely less.
