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

BY: Jack Heretik Follow @JackHeretik August 14, 2018 5:13 pm

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.

Chelsea’s message: Kill the baby. Get a job. Everyone wins.

You know, except the baby.

Shouldn’t we kill all babies and then the GDP will soar.

First of all, no amount of money justifies murder, Chelsea. But let's do some other math. The average American spends approximately $50,000 per year. 60 million people killed by abortions since 1973. If those folks were still alive, their spending alone would be around $3 trillion every year... and when add in the spending multiplier effect would likely add several times that amount to the overall GDP.

so Hillary ... was their economic benefit in aborting a lot of blacks that would have otherwise resulted in more welfare payments? I would like her to attempt to answer that question and explain her answer.

And how much would have been added by the productive men and women whose lives were ended by abortion since 1973......

C’mon, you know why Chelsea is here. She was considered a political asset for an up and coming politician. Otherwise, no way.

The sham marriage had to have a child to make it look real.

She backed her mother up over having been sniped at in Bosnia although everyone else there claims it never happened.

Re: As selfish and vile as her mom and dad are I am truly surprised SHE wasn’t aborted.

I expect the only reason Chelsea exists is because it was useful politically for Bill & Hilary to have a child. Otherwise, she would have been aborted.

Chelsea Clinton is way beyond the usual run-of-the-mill stupid.
Her ignorance is truly astonishing.
Plus, I believe all of her academic degrees and work are phony.
But I'm sure most people suspect that already.

Its insulting to any intelligent person. An off the wall number regarding revenue based o the slaughter of children. Makes one wonder if wholesale killing of children was the driver that brought in the revenue. Which is obscene and immoral

Chelsea is an example one of the worst personality types: a person of mediocre intelligence who thinks she’s brilliant. Her parents (er, Hillary and the alleged father) raised her with a superiority complex. I’ve known people like her.
