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?

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?

Yeah, and if you follow her logic wouldn’t the ADDITIONAL women who weren’t aborted have increased the economy even more? Liberals cannot think logically.
