"Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words "abortion" or "tax hikes" pass their lips"

This quote by Ann Coulter is making a comparison in between taxes and abortion. She is saying that both are supported by Democrats, which there is no happy medium. You are either for them or against them. Taxes can increase or down, however Democrats will not freely talk about either of these subjects. This quote is highlighting the political divide between Democrats and Republicans, and how there is no space for compromise on certain concerns. It likewise implies that Democrats are not happy to be open and honest about their views on taxes and abortion. This quote is a reminder that politics can be dissentious which it is important to be open up to different viewpoints.
