Chelsea Clinton has always been a bit of a doofus on the political front, and it's pretty obvious she knows she's stepped in it in her "more abortions, better economy" claim, delivered before a conference of radical leftists. Here is the Twitter exchange with Dinesh D'Souza:
Hi Dinesh- not what I said. Foremost, protecting reproductive health rights protects women’s human rights & health. From 1973-1985, American women’s deaths from abortion declined 5-fold. Reproductive rights are also about women’s economic rights and agency. Not the same as below. https://t.co/VJsBflDyMb— Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) August 18, 2018
Get a load of that denial. Instead of restating her views, which are here, specifically claiming that abortion is a great thing because it added $3.5 trillion to our economy, she changes her argument to the banal talking points of the rabid left about abortion as a matter of "health" (which is revolting, given that in an abortion, an actual live baby gets chopped up, snuffed out, and sold for spare parts), a misleading claim about American women's deaths from abortion declining fivefold (Chile, which has no abortion on demand, saw a massive decline in maternal mortality when it banned abortion), and a skirting of the issue with the pious lawyerspeak claim about "economic rights and agency."
No, what she really said was $3.5 trillion. What she said is this:
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.

Planned Parenthood and all the abortionists have played a game with us making us think that abortions are only "safe and rare" when abortions have been, from the beginning, to be done at the abortionist's personal choice, meaning whenever they want it including up to the moment of birth and even after birth.
Happy Birthday Chelsea! Which birthday will it be when you start taking on the Podesta Potpourri of urine, farts, and boiled cabbage?
Yeah, and if you follow her logic wouldn’t the ADDITIONAL women who weren’t aborted have increased the economy even more? Liberals cannot think logically.
The truly sad thing is, she’s still wrong on her ‘fact’.
From 1973-1985, American women’s deaths from abortion declined 5-fold.
That number does not count the number of female babies murdered in their mother’s womb. Add those deaths in, and it far exceeds the number that would have died from botched abortions.
