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.

How many cures, inventions, artworks, etc were lost to history as we slaughtered 60,000,000 kids for convenience?

Margaret Sanger wasn't for reproductive rights and choice. In 1947 she was demanding no more babies even if the women wanted kids and would be infertile 10 years after her proposed moratorium.

Nothing that the modern Left assets ever stands up to simple logical examination. In this case, Chelsea is simultaneously asserting that adding workers (women) to the workplace adds to the economy... while at the same time advocating for preventing future workers (children) from entering the workplace.

Could one expect anything less evil from the daughter of Hillary Clinton and Webb Hubbell? She does her mother proud.

If we owned the airwaves, abortion would be illegal, and people advocating it would fear to speak out about it in public.

Liberal control of the airwaves is the only reason these people are not fleeing from justice.

So all these aborted human beings had negative value?
And most of them were Black.
How come no one connects those two dots?

Imagine what all those aborted babies could have added to the ecomomy in a country absent of liberal welfare plantation of course.

The ruling class plan is to replace them with illegal aliens.
