A 15-year decline in Texas teen birth rates slid to a stop—and converted into a modest increase in 2022, the year after the state Legislature implemented what was the nation’s strongest ban on abortion, according to new report from the University of Houston’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality.
Now imagne we would use this logic on taxation.
Just because you don’t have something, doesn’t mean the goverment shouldn’t be able to regulate it. And if a goverment in a democracy is the direct result of people’s votes. Why shoudnt people be able to vote on it.
Taxation is not something growing in my body, it’s money I contribute to the society I live in, a social cost in money.
This is much closer to the government deciding that you must donate a kidney to someone, because you had sex. Or mandating abortion, if the majority voted that everyone with two children must abort if they fall pregnant again? I don’t agree that my own body is something others can vote to control, that’s not at all like tax.
