1. Abortion affects interstate commerce.
After all, if those kids were born, hospitals would need to provide health care to them and their mothers before, during, and after the delivery!
Not to mention the healthcare needs of those kids after they’re born, and when they grow up.
And we all know that healthcare is interstate commerce…
2. Since abortion affects interstate commerce, Congress may regulate it!
Thus Congress may require that women wait for one year before getting an abortion.
Even if this argument were struck down, Congress could do the following:
1. Impose a $5,000 tax on each abortion.
2. This is a “tax,” not a “penalty,” or a “mandate,” and is thus well within Congress’s taxing powers.
After all, Congress taxes medical equipment, plastic surgery, and tanning salons as part of Obamacare… Why not abortion?

This argument could backfire as it could lead to One-Child Policy.

How about overturn Roe v. Wade and let the States decide how to handle the issue.
