Paying your taxes is not voluntary, therefore, a taxpayer is equivalent to a woman being treated as "something less", because the taxpayer's resources are used without his/her consent.
Wrong.
Firstly, there are things that you get in return for paying those taxes. You might not use all of those benefits, but you do receive them in turn.
Secondly, if you don't want to pay taxes, move. Or don't make money. It's hard for somebody to collect taxes from you when you don't have a dime to your name.
Those kind of solutions don't really help a woman with another 'person' living inside of her and potentially causing all kinds of health complications.
Thirdly, the government does not exactly qualify as another born person, does it?
The point of this example being that lots of people have their resources used without their consent.
Poor comparison. If looked into with more detail, it actually counters a pro-life argument more than reinforces it.
