Why Taxing Abortion Is Bad Policy

A pro-life Senator in the Kansas state legislature introduced a proposal to impose a sales tax on abortion in an attempt to possibly raise money and hopefully reduce abortions. While her intentions are good, taxing abortion is a horrible idea.

  • A tax creates a revenue stream that politicians get addicted to – thus making the object of your taxation harder to eliminate.
  • Taxing something also gives it legitimacy – almost as if being taxed gives you government approval.
  • Governments should not profit from abortion – no matter how profitable. LifeNews
