Chelsea Clinton: ‘Roe’ Helped Add ‘Three and a Half Trillion Dollars to Our Economy’
cnsnews.com ^ | 8/13/2018 | Craig Bannister

bortion has been an important economic stimulus ever since it was legalized by the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, Chelsea Clinton claimed at a "Rise Up for Roe" event on Saturday.

At the event promoting opposition to President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the former First Daughter of President Bill Clinton credited legalized abortion for helping add trillions of dollars to the U.S economy because women who had abortions were more inclined to enter the labor force:

"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."

Thus, no matter what other things Americans may care about, everyone should appreciate the economic value of legalized abortion, Clinton said:

"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."

“then ask your Mom why she didn’t contribute”
Great line. She’s morphing into her equally evil Mother. Same mannerisms and speaking style.

60 million less citizens working and paying taxes and building and buying things.

I am certain that would generate more than 3.5 trillion in supposed abortion savings the genius Chelsea Clinton tosses out there.

first its a questionable statistic (leftists love adding zeros to their statistics FOR EMPHASIS)

kindof a retarded insinuation when you can simply point out that the SS in Germany RAN a huge economic system in Nazi Germany (all those ‘work camps) which was also paid to systematically and economically exterminate about 12 million subjugated people.

Consider also that slavery in the South being a massive economic (profit making) system

So the situation is more of a moral issue than some ‘Oh it employed a bunch of baby murderers who would otherwise not have had jobs” dim argument —— given by this clinton maggot mouthpiece


So Chelsea - YOU think that money is good when murder pays for it??

Stupid

I think Chelsea has inherited her mother’s insanity.

$3T divided by 60M abortions = $500.00 per baby.

It’s useful to know how much each aborted child is worth to Chelsea and her ilk.

She certainly does resemble Web Hubble genes more than Bill Clinton...

Wonder if Hillary ever told her WHO HER BIRTH FATHER really is?

Just wondering...

Imagine if we aborted the person who would have cured cancer.

I wonder how much the murdered kids would have added to the economic growth over the decades.

So obvious, I thought I might have missed something.

I think that’s the worst picture I’ve ever seen of the Hildebeast’s ugly spawn.

Why on earth do these Clinton women have such big mouths? (I will anticipate the remarks so you won’t need to post why or answer the question). Neither one of them can recognize or acknowledge someone else without opening their big mouths and I don’t mean to talk! Just strange behavior! Are they always so absolutely amazed at seeing someone? Hillary always acted like she’d just seen her best friend in a crowd!

Did anyone ask her why she didn’t have abortions instead of having kids? Did anyone ask her why her mother didn’t have an abortion? If abortions are so great, why are they both parents? They really do have to twist information to arrive at the answer they want...

Oh yes they are!

With her idiotic demeanor, she’ll never get elected to anything.

She probably thinks Roe saved trillions by keeping tens of millions of black babies off welfare.
