Chelsea Clinton: Roe v. Wade Helped Add $3.5 Trillion to U.S. Economy

Chelsea Clinton praised the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on Saturday, saying it helped add $3.5 trillion to the U.S. economy.
Clinton was speaking at a pro-abortion rights event "Rise Up For Roe," which was organized in opposition to President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, CNS News reports.
Clinton said that abortion rights were something that everyone has to care about if they take justice issues seriously.
"Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access rights, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency—you have to care about this," Clinton said.
Clinton then tried to connect the controversial 1973 Supreme Court ruling to the American economy.
"It is not a disconnected fact, to address this t-shirt of 1973, that American women entering the labor force from 1970 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right?" Clinton said. "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."
Clinton campaigned for her mother, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 presidential election, and she has been pressed by some progressives to make a political run of her own. She has never held office.

“...Imagine what all those aborted babies could have...”
Often thought to myself, which of those human beings, had they been allowed to grow up, would have become the doctor that cured Alzheimer’s, or any of the myriad cancers, or developed a fuel cell to put us on Mars, or... anything.
Infants are THE most defenseless and helpless among us. It is a truly evil thing.
“...her own no...”
Well, that right there is “choice”, isn’t it.
On the positive side, it’s one life that didn’t get murdered.
On the negative side, that kid’ll be raised like she was, but at least there is the possibility that it will live to be able to make up it’s OWN mind later on.
Like I’d said earlier, she was raised that way, so it’s not surprising.
That’s the only slack I’ll give her.
Yes they can and we can hope she will.
