Chelsea Clinton is trying to back away from her comment that abortions led to a $3.5 trillion boost to the economy.
Tapping into the popular “abortion is economic justice” claims of the abortion industry, Clinton argued at a pro-abortion rally that America made huge economic gains because of Roe v. Wade and the 60 million unborn babies’ abortion deaths that resulted from it.
But her remarks quickly were refuted by prominent conservatives, including the Rev. Franklin Graham and Dinesh D’souza, as well as LifeNews and other pro-life media outlets.
Instead of buckling down on the abortion industry’s talking points, Clinton responded by claiming she never said aborting unborn babies is good for the economy and then switching her argument.
This is what Clinton said during a pro-abortion protest earlier this month in Manhattan:
“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 … 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.”
Clinton’s claim is not original. Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S., also claims the killing of unborn babies is “economic justice.” Earlier in August, it claimed abortion is “a vital pathway that affords women access to jobs, housing, education and wealth equality.”
Roe v. Wade led to the legalized killing of unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth. Since the 1973 ruling, about 60 million unborn babies have been legally aborted in America.
Research suggests the opposite of what Clinton claimed – that the abortion deaths of 60 million babies have hurt the American economy.
Dennis Howard, president of the pro-life group Movement for a Better America, argued in 2008 that the abortion deaths of 50 million unborn babies cost the U.S. about $35 trillion in gross domestic product (GDP). Still more research estimates a federal tax revenue loss of about $16 trillion due to the lost workforce.
Looks like we are cursed - we will have to hear her stupid rantings for another 60 or so years. We haven’t heard from her dad for a long time, and her mother has been more silent recently, and in any event won’t be grating on our ears for too many more decades.
Typical Clinton.
AND he needs a nominee who can be confirmed under the circumstances (good effin luck w/ that); OR, he could follow brocko's lead and just put in a Justice Czar, no confirmation required.
“..Trump is head of Justice. Just do it. He has full authority....”
Yes. After the midterms, he may even declassify all the presently protected information. A complete expose’.
Her old man is Web Hubbell. You bet.
She hasn’t mastered the art of speaking without really saying anything.
Everyone in America knows that Chelsea Clinton is a low IQ bafoon and nothing she says about anything is meaningful or intelligent.
I surprised she even recalls this. The acorn doesn’t fall too far from the tree might be appropriate in her case.
no I mean just appoint a new highly political special counsel like theirs!!Just rack up those criminals. Why wait?
Timing is the art of champions.
Sometimes it’s almost hard to believe how truly stupid Spawn of Kankles is. Almost every time she makes a speech or tweets, she says something incredibly stupid and/or just plain evil, and she gets stomped into the ground.
Stupid/evil comments, stomped into the ground, rinse, repeat.
LMAO
I calculated a little bit more than that 50 trillion in benefits from the 62 million taxpayers, mothers, sisters, aunts and grandmothers killed by abortion. Hillary’s-Chelsea’s-Obola’s OSHA-IRS-FDA-DOE-EPA-DOT all assign slightly different “values” to a single human life killed.
“How much is a human life worth to the government?
As of 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency set the value of a human life at $9.1 million. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration put it at $7.9 million — and the Department of Transportation figure was around $6 million.”
At 8 million (average) per abortion, the real figure is 500 trillion in lost lives.
Yes she did....
If she's not any better liar than that, she is DEFINITELY Webb Hubbell's spawn.
Eventually her voice will take on the scratchy-shrieky-rode-hard-and-put-up-wet quality the Witch’s has.
thank you for posting that video link.
she certainly did say that headline.
Well now we know for sure Hillary is her mom.
She is just as politically tone deaf as her mom.
No sense of style but at least she is not color blind.
Inheriting her memory problems with her parents?
A selective memory is NOT WAY to go thru life.
