Hmmm...decades ago we didn't have a society this close to anomie. I'm sure it will be tough running them all through Stepford, but afterwards they'll be right as rain!

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday warned that eliminating abortion rights would damage the U.S. economy and 'set women back decades.'
'I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,' she said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
Yellen was asked about the draft Supreme Court opinion that indicated justices support overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, and the effect such a decision would have on the economy.
'It enabled many women to finish school that increase their earning potential and allowed women to plan and balance their families and careers,' Yellen said of the case. 'And research also shows that it had a favorable impact on the well being and earnings of of children.'
'There are many research studies that have been done over the years looking at the economic impacts of access or lack thereof to abortion. And it makes clear that denying women access to abortion increases their odds of living in poverty,' she added.
Politico's publishing of the draft opinion - which could be changed before officially announced at the end of the Supreme Court's session this summer - set off a national uproar.
Democrats have pushed for abortion to secured by federal law. Republicans claimed the leak was done to try and use public opinion and protests to pressure the justices.
Protests have risen up around the country and protesters are staking out the Washington D.C. homes of the Supreme Court judges. The high court itself has become ground central with daily protests. Fences have been raised around the building.
In Tuesday's hearing, Republican Senator Tim Scott pushed back at Yellen's assertion, however.

There’s a simple solution Ms. Yellen, don’t have unprotected sex.
“We have over ELEVEN MILLION job openings without the people or the talent to fill them!”
Ending the murder of children does not need a horseshiite statement like that for justification.
Pay people enough to live near the job, with basic security that the job will be there in a year or two and see what you get.
Paying $25 an hour means nothing if an apartment costs $1,500 a month.
Asking for 5 years experience, but paying entry level wages doesn’t work either.
If your business model depends on hiring ILLEGALs, then get a different business model.
Your job in a Shiitehole town surrounded by a wasteland does not make for a big draw for any folks looking to improve their lot.
Janet, between you and me, you are full of male bovine excrement.

Your genius complaints are symptoms, NOT policy solutions.
Hmmm...decades ago we didn't have a society this close to anomie. I'm sure it will be tough running them all through Stepford, but afterwards they'll be right as rain!
Janet knows as much about abortion and the societal impacts as she does about the economy.
She’s underwhelming on every front.
...and it’ll impact your parents credit rating.
There’s nothing worse than that.
Right Janet! And massive illegal aliens taking our jobs are just fine for women.
As we know from Rocky Horror-Janets a whore.
repeal the 17th.
I wouldn’t mind my wife being a few decades younger.
Where do they come up with this BS.
What companies need to do then, that want to, is to have Adult Sex Education Classes. Inform everyone on how not to get pregnant, tell them about every type of contraceptive on the market, the morning after pills, male birth control, etc. & etc..
If you still need an abortion after all that then you don’t need a job because your too stupid to have one.
So much cheaper than these companies that say they will pay to send their employees out of state for an abortion if not available where they are.
I would like her to delineate all of national economic benefits of abortion. Otherwise, she’s just sayin’ stuff.
Ok...they obviously are going to make this the BLACK LIVES MATTER issue of 2022...watch for summer riots over this
I could make a really good argument on how getting rid of leftists could save the economy, end drug use, save the environment, end food shortages etc. I want the freedom of choice to do what I want.
“This is powerful stupid’’.
Oh yeah. This is too stupid to be an idiot kind of stupid.
God’s judgement on this country is having for more damaging effects.
Easy, she wants third world illegals to flood into our country when they're adults - so her fellow liberal 'elites' don't have to worry about any American children needing assistance. Kill our babies, deny us families and when we die out, pull in third world workers who will work for less and be afraid to complain.
Yellen is a horrible person.
