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.

The real financial impacts of Roe V Wade(a response to Chelsea Clinton’s boast that abortion has added a total of 3.5 trillion dollars to our economy over 46 years since 1972)

If the 60 million folks aborted had been living today then the oldest of the post roe v wade crowd would be 46 yr’s old and the youngest of the potential earning would be 18(having been born in 2000).

Now calculating from 1972 that would be nearly 40 million folks(ironically fairly close to the number of illegals in the country added since the 1970’s) That’s a number roughly 11 per cent of our current population who aren’t alive now. Now add in their potential contributions to the econonmy by adding 11 per cent to our current GDP(around what...23 trillion to get a figure of around 26 trillion dollars?!) This would be money added annually!!! Not just an over all one time “as of this date” figure(3.5 trillion added since 1972) as supplied by Chelsea Clinton; I repeat the 40 million extra persons, if they had not been aborted would have been adding an extra 3 trillion dollars ANNUALLY as of this date.

The non aborted persons,starting from 1972, had they lived would have started being major contributors in 1990..so roughly projecting from 0 to a 3 trillion dollar GDP presence... the amounts these aborted persons would have added since 1990 to our economy must come to at least 100 trillion dollars or more totals when you add it up(...over 28 years starting from when the first of these aborted persons would have hit 18, and then the others hitting 18 in ‘91, ‘92, and so on.)

I haven’t even counted the children that the first of the aborted(from 1972) would have had, who would be starting to come to maturity and working age even now. (approximately 24 years of age having kids starting in ‘96 with the kids reaching 18 in 2014 either working or just finishing college and about to work in 2018). I haven’t added in the aborted children from 2000 to 2018 as they wouldn’t have been able to add a positive effect to the economy until working age(they would be an indirect positive but I’m focusing simply on being able to work, spend and pay taxes)

What blessings, resources, and finances we have lost as well as the hundreds of trillions of dollars lost to our gdp (because of unfettered abortion). And Chelsea touts a total figure of 3.5 trillion gained over 40 years....disgusting. 3 trillion a year...EXTRA(!!!!) is what we would have gained had these folks lived... not counting the contributions of their children who would have been just coming into working age now( their parents being late 30’s to age 46).

Many months ago she commented with her opinion of some political matter on a tweet and I thought: oh, no, they’re trying to push that piece of scum into the spotlight and gush over how she should run for office. And they still haven’t even prosecuted her parents.

Her wedding was financed by the piggy bank called the money laundering Clinton Foundation, allegedly from charity money intended for Haitian children. Let them eat dead carp floating in the polluted ravines, I guess. Don’t want to spoil Chelsea’s golden moment.

The number of children killed in abortion is similar to the number of immigrants we’ve taken in over the same time frame.

If we hadn’t had abortion, we wouldn’t have had room/need for an immigrant influx to replace the kids we killed.

Wouldn’t have to listen to this nonsense if Benghazi Clinton had really believed in abortions for herself as for poor blacks.

So women with children aren’t capable of joining the workforce?

The Clintons aren’t just sick and twisted - they deliver these bizarre condescending statements with plastic smiles.

This reminds me how Hillary claims married women didn’t vote for her because we were bullied by our husband’s and sons.

So this statement suggests that women must turn against their own offspring to land that job.

When you wade through garbage all your life, it’s impossible for it not to stick to you.

It doesn’t surprise me that she didn’t fall far from the tree.

It IS a shame though, because everyone, at some point in the course of life, has a choice and chance of doing things differently and making their life turn out better.

Evidently, she didn’t find that particular path - yet.

Who knows... People DO and CAN change if they want to.

Personally, I’d love to see libs put their money where their mouths are and self-abort, to “Save the Planet” from all “excess Carbon Dioxide”.

They talk the talk, time to walk the walk.

“...Hillary on steroids...”

Well, the kid’s been groomed for this her entire life, so it’s not surprising.

I usually give her a little slack; until she’s elected and has any sort of actual say in things, it’s just farting in the wind from her.

“...Could one expect anything less...”

No, not at all. She’s just parroting what she was taught her entire life.
