Often when discussing issues like raped men having to pay child support to their rapists, the argument comes up that you can't compare child support to abortion because child support is "just money" while abortion is a healthcare issue.

One way around this argument is the Abortion Tax Analogy. The analogy works like this:

Imagine that abortions are completely legal but everyone who gets an abortion has to pay an Abortion Tax. The tax is scaled to income (like child support) and is paid monthly for 18 years (like child support) and goes into the foster system, to support children (like child support).

The response to this is usually that such a tax would be a gross violation of women's rights. But in fact it would put women in exactly the same position as men currently are: they can avoid being pregnant, but they can't avoid the financial consequences of unwanted pregnancy.

Anyone agreeing that forcing female victims of rape or reproductive coercion to pay an abortion tax is wrong, should also agree that forcing male victims to pay child support is wrong.
