I have an idea, maybe it's just stupid, but why not illegalize abortion without overturning Roe v. Wade?

All any government would have to do (city, county, state, national) is to charge a Trillion dollar tax for an abortion (for each abortion you have to fork over a Trilion dollars). You could call it a Murder Tax (because that's what it is).

In true California fashion we wouldn't call it a tax at all, simply a 'users fee'. Gotta vote on taxes, fees can be enacted at the whim of the governor.

You could actually take a page out of the liberal playbook and calculate the "lifetime loss of tax revenue" from the abortion. Average citizen pays $2000 / year for 40 years. $80,000 tax to compensate for the loss.
