El Caudillo
women taxable, you want planned parenthood to come back to rip out fetuses and sell them for profit? You're the one's that will be taxed, not men. If we don't have a single say according to you SJW's, it shouldn't be a man's issue to support someone who doesn't want a baby, or was irresponsible to have one.
We pay AT LEAST 50% if not, MORE of the taxes that go to women's health, so I say, just make a female-specific tax. If men don't have a say in a woman getting an abortion or not, then we shouldn't be taxed for it.
Keeping things in the binary for ease of explanation only. When a man induces pregnancy in a woman, he imposes a
biological tax on her that he himself will never be required to pay. In the nominal case (an ordinary pregnancy leading to an ordinary birth,) she'll actually be paying this tax for 2-3 years, as there isn't a magical revert button that snaps her back to pre-pregnancy status after the birth.
Depending on what line of work the woman has chosen, the tax can potentially consume as much as 100% of her income after other taxes and before expenditures (in cases where the pregancy actually makes the work unfeasible) - and American law actually
sucks on the world stage when it comes to minimising this effect.
The biological tax also reflects itself in considerable changes in body-form, which of course require at least one overhaul of the woman's wardrobe. This is, of course, a female-specific tax, and in one of the several economic areas in which women are already disproportionately "taxed" compared to men.
(No, really, women's clothing tends to be more expensive and less durable than men's clothing of equivalent function.)
In short,
pregnancy itself is a number of female-specific taxes.

There's also other problems. Let's say you get the culture of natality that you want to achieve. Your taxes are going to be diverted toward:
- Mitigating the problems stemming from families being driven into poverty (that is, welfare for the poor);
- Handling the increased need for foster care and suchlike, particularly for special needs children;
- Responding to increased crime rates stemming from the increase in poor people and children of unstable background.
- Ironically enough, women's health issues, as you will have systematically eviscerated their access to anything resembling health care at the points they most need the support.
A world resembling your ideal has been attempted; I'll leave it to you to research Decree 770 in the history of Romanian law. If it helps, also research a fellow named Nicolae Ceausescu. Spoiler: the story ends about as well as you'd expect. And it'd be worse here, since unlike your ideal, at least it could be said that Communist Romania's health care was somewhat accessible.
Compared to all of that, it seems more
efficient to divert taxes toward health care, including women's health care. (Note that in America, the government specifically does not permit its money to be used for the subsidy of abortion anyway.)
