Chelsea Clinton: Legalized Abortion Has Added $3.5 Trillion to the Economy
PJ Media ^ | August 15, 2018 | John Ellis

Posted on 08/15/2018 2:21:08 PM PDT by ncfool

No one can accuse the Clintons of failing to prioritize profit over ethics. Giving a gross demonstration of this familial trait, Chelsea Clinton applauded abortion by claiming that the Roe v. Wade decision has added three and a half trillion dollars to the economy. Pro-life people have been aware of this for a long time, but it's nice, I guess, to see the other side admit, from their perspective, that there is a price point that justifies killing babies.

In a speech given at "Rise Up for Roe," an event aimed at expressing feminist displeasure with the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court, the younger Clinton opined:

Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency – you have to care about this.

It is not a disconnected fact – to address this t-shirt of 1973 – that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right?

Un Friggin’ Real. She’s dumber than the entire Cuomo family put together. Including “Chrissy” from CNN. And this Clintoon jughead wants to be president some day. Geez. Affirmative action has really screwed this country up.

Her argument can be easily turned on its head.

So the combined contribution to the economy of women participating in the workforce ‘cause they killed their babies is 3.5 trillion?

What about the lost contribution of the murdered infants to the economy? How much would they have added had they lived? Any guestimates?

In the Clinton family Chelsea has the bottom IQ run nailed down, likewise Andrew does for the Cuomo family! (Yes I think he is dumber then Chris!)

Ask Chels how many abortions it would take to erase the national debt.

Let’s go there. How much would Vince Foster or Seth Rich or DNC Chairman Brown have contributed had Hillary not had them killed?

“Roe” NEVER had an abortion and Roe changed her mind about abortion. What the spawn of Clinton said makes Nazis, Soviets, Maoists, Khmer Rouge and other bloodthirsty political death cults look like economic geniuses and humanitarians.

Had all those women not entered the workforce, men would have gotten those high-paying jobs and thus allowed women to stay home and raise their own kids instead of daycares. All of society would have benefited from that. Also, had not the uniparty put such a tax burden on we the cerfs, women could have stayed home and raised their families until a time when they all flew the nest. Then, they could have entered the workforce.

They added 3.5 trillion to the economy yet with the increase in supply of labor wages have been depressed and alot of families require two incomes just to enjoy a middle class lifestyle.

Think how much more living infants, growing children, teenagers, young adults and mature adults would have had to the economy.

3.5 trillion dollars = $3,500,000,000,000
50 million abortions= 50,000,000
Dollars per abortion = 3,500,000,000,000 / 50,000,000

= 3,500,000 / 50

= 350,000 / 5

= $70,000 / abortion.

So does that mean, she expects every aborted child, to have had a net lifetime cost to society of $70,000 ?

Isn't that like only $1,000 / yr?

Now, if you go all Freakanomics like the cool kids do, and decree that the lowering of the crime rate is due to abortion, you can then back out a mininum % of those people aborted who were expected to have become incarcerated, and for how long (even neglecting social transfer payments).

But am I gonna read the article? Nope.
