Chelsea Clinton has always been a bit of a doofus on the political front, and it's pretty obvious she knows she's stepped in it in her "more abortions, better economy" claim, delivered before a conference of radical leftists. Here is the Twitter exchange with Dinesh D'Souza:
Hi Dinesh- not what I said. Foremost, protecting reproductive health rights protects women’s human rights & health. From 1973-1985, American women’s deaths from abortion declined 5-fold. Reproductive rights are also about women’s economic rights and agency. Not the same as below. https://t.co/VJsBflDyMb— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) August 18, 2018
Get a load of that denial. Instead of restating her views, which are here, specifically claiming that abortion is a great thing because it added $3.5 trillion to our economy, she changes her argument to the banal talking points of the rabid left about abortion as a matter of "health" (which is revolting, given that in an abortion, an actual live baby gets chopped up, snuffed out, and sold for spare parts), a misleading claim about American women's deaths from abortion declining fivefold (Chile, which has no abortion on demand, saw a massive decline in maternal mortality when it banned abortion), and a skirting of the issue with the pious lawyerspeak claim about "economic rights and agency."
No, what she really said was $3.5 trillion. What she said is this:
Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency – you have to care about this.

Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency – you have to care about this.
It is not a disconnected fact – to address this t-shirt of 1973 – that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right?
The net, new entrance of women – that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973.
So, I think, whatever it is that people say they care about, I think that you can connect to this issue.
Of course, I would hope that they would care about our equal rights and dignity to make our own choices – but, if that is not sufficiently persuasive, hopefully, come some of these other arguments that you've expressed so beautifully, will be.
Score one for Dinesh D'Souza, who heard her right the first time.
Chelsea Hubbell’s intelligence is exceeded only by her beauty.
“I didn’t say what I said.” The Frog Princess has spoken.
Based on her comments equating dead Babies with a better Economy, Chicago must be swimming in Cash at the end of every weekend.
Will Chelsea be supporting Portland’s new abortion ice cream that is being promoted by Planned Parenthood? I kid you not.
Sounds like she is trying to make what she said and what she said she said to be so confusing, that no one can deny that there might be a nugget of truth in there.
But hey, the libs won’t care, because they assume that she’s correct, whatever she says, because she’s a Clinton.
Did she misspeak or mis-bleat?
Does anyone ever ask these People exactly what point in a Pregnancy when Abortion should not be allowed?
I recall Hillary saying anytime, which would mean one second before Labor begins.
Just when we think Fugly Chelsea can’t say anything more stupid, she always proves us wrong.
I hope she keeps tweeting, LMAO.
Chelsea Clinton and Occasional Cortex - 2020
And just think how the economy would be if all leftists held hands and jumped off a cliff!
Liberals think only they have value. All the “little people” just get in the way of their perfect society. These people would institute Hitler-style population control if they could.
Typical libturd belief that everyone will believe their every word if and or until reality calls them out.
“Will Chelsea be supporting Portland’s new abortion ice cream that is being promoted by Planned Parenthood? I kid you not.”
Seems to be an annual event in July, since at least 2014.
Wish I’d heard of it earlier to pillory them the better.
What a stupid bitch!
Why do they insist on putting a microphone in front of this dolt? Do they believe the Clinton name still has pull? Will no one rid us of this crime family dynasty?
Supply and demand says that a massive influx of new sources of labor - in this case women in large numbers - would decrease the demand for labor and hence suppress wages. And in fact many many families that were well supported by one wage earner found that by the 80s they needed two. Because wages were suppressed.
Did this "add" to the economy really?
Even talking about a Clinton, that is cold-hearted.
Thank you <3 /bow
She hasn’t exercised her best option yet,that of refraining from speaking & heading out to parts unknown.
