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.

If Roe v. Wade added 3.5 T to the economy, then by extension, Stalin's Great Terror and Pol Pot's Cambodian Genocide should have been boom times, eh? (They were not).
Looking at Chelsea Clinton's education bio, one would expect that she's much smarter than the juvenile and disconnected things she says.
Giveaway degrees?
Betcha!
She and her ilk are mentally ill. No way she believes this.
Her dad Hubble must be a idiot too? All this for power and votes.
There may be a labeled place in hell for these pro abortionists.
Making a statement like she made makes no sense and shows she has no conscience. Money money money, and no thought of the little life they killed.
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.Jul 21, 2012
Let's take these Federal agencies at their word - after all, they “are run” by democrat abortionist supporters, aren't they?
62,000,000 abortions since 1973 at 8 million per lost taxpayer/employee/worker/husband/wife/sister/aunt/brother/grandmother/grandfather ...
62,000,000 x 8,000,000 = 496,000,000,000,000.
No wonder. 500,000 trillion. Not 3.1 trillion.
I’m surprised that Webb is still alive.
Poor Vince Foster.

Chelsea on the left and Webb’s other daughter on the right...they look alike to me!

Chelsea is a nitwit.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Sad to say Chelsea is a dim bulb.
Chelsea has turned into quite the ghoulish monster.
Just like her mother.
well if true, she’s being honest about her true values—money trumps life—which constitute a new level of admitted venality from the dem left.
in this country, there is no right—God given, natural, self-evident, Constitutional or otherwise—to take someone’s life without due process, imho.
and as for the intentional taking of innocent life? only God, as the Father did with His only begotten Son, has the right to do that, imho.
On the other hand, if all those aborted babies had lived, I’ll venture to say we would have had enough revenue coming from additional taxpayers to make balancing the budget simple. And we know liberals would rather see money go to the government than stay in the hands of those earning it, yes?
In private conversations, she would probably find it to be an interesting conversation to discuss post-birth abortion.
Chelsea is Hillary on steroids. How can we get her more airtime?
“...if all those aborted babies had lived, I’ll venture to say we would have had enough revenue coming from additional taxpayers...”
Seriously? Think about it, considering the demographics of the majority of people getting abortions.
Seems I have read that the market rate for harvested brain matter from pre-born children is around $50,000 per pound.
Chelsea's arithmetic may not be too far off.
Not to mention the sales value of all those li’l lungs and livers!
Chelsey is a political prop.
Chelsea is saying money is more important then infants!
