bortion has been an important economic stimulus ever since it was legalized by the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, Chelsea Clinton claimed at a "Rise Up for Roe" event on Saturday.
At the event promoting opposition to President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the former First Daughter of President Bill Clinton credited legalized abortion for helping add trillions of dollars to the U.S economy because women who had abortions were more inclined to enter the labor force:
"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?
"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."
Thus, no matter what other things Americans may care about, everyone should appreciate the economic value of legalized abortion, Clinton said:
"So, I think, whatever it is that people say they care about, I think that you can connect to this issue.
"Of course, I would hope that they would care about our equal rights and dignity to make our own choices – but, if that is not sufficiently persuasive, hopefully, come some of these other arguments that you’ve expressed so beautifully, will be."

I thought to 'add money' to the economy you had to create something that was worth more than the raw materials used to create it. Abortion takes something that is priceless and destroys it.
Sick monsters are now (finally) admitting that Planned Butcherhood/baby killing law is nothing more than a profit center, for these evil beings.
Her numbers assume nobody else, including the un- and underemployed, could do the work while the woman was giving birth.
Now, if the liberals could just figure a way to euthanize old folks the economy would sizzle. Legislation done well could add a bonus by taxing all inheritances.
Just think of the Man Caused Climate Change Hoax; worth a bundle to the economy.
This is Cortez level stupid!
Thus, if every single child had been aborted since Roe, that might have added $20 trillion to the economy - and there would be no one in America (except immigrants) under the age of forty-five.

Idiot doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Seed of IMPOTUS and the Hildebeast. Good thing she's a moron and probably won't be able to get herself elected to anything where she can hurt anyone.
I think she mis spoke.
3 1/2 trillion was added to the democrat party’s economy.
And the Clinton foundation. Nice little bonus there.
Anyone who has done a genealogy research project knows that if one goes back, say, to their great-grandfather (or great-grandmother), and eliminates that one person from their family's line, they may find that not one but many human beings who have lived, raised families of their own, and now have several descendants, would have to be eliminated from their family tree.
That indicates that when just one child is destroyed in the womb, one must say that several generations of future citizens, many of whom might be great contributors to the health, wealth and happiness of their society, will have been eliminated--all for what--the temporary "choice" of one person?
Just think how much it will add to the economy if we post birth abort ugly idiot brats who are under the delusion they know something meaningful.
OMG, this is one supremely evil POS in the making, just like her mother.
Abortion is murder. How many million childred did it take the lives of while it generated the trillions that Chelsea Clinton claims were made?
Chelsea you stupid spawn of Webb. Why is it the cheap labor express has allowed into this country a number of illegal persons equal to those who have been aborted in the past 45 years?
Chelsea, sorry but you are a liar. Now, 3.5 Trillion dollars? Where’s the proof, moron? Or did you pull it out of your assistance?
Can she really be this stupid???
Of course, her mother WAS the smartest woman in the world./s
In the future (or, actually, today)...
“Hmm, there’s nobody around to provide for social security, medicare, infrastructure, etc.”
“I KNOW!! Open the borders!”
“Old” today — over 70.
“Old” tomorrow — over 50.
“Old” in 1964 — over 30 (Jack Weinberg, Wild in the Streets ‘68).
She’s already a lot heavier than her mother was at the same age.
And the 50 million people aborted were less inclined to enter the labor force, so this cost the economy $30 Trillion in lost economic activity.
