Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Bill and Hillary, declared her public support for the Roe v. Wade supreme court ruling at a pro-abortion event Saturday night.

Clinton was the keynote speaker at the “Rise Up for Roe” event, which was organized in opposition to President Donald Trump’s nomination of conservative Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Those in favor of unlimited abortion have been caught in a frenzy ever since Trump made his nomination, as they fear Kavanaugh may attempt to overturn the landmark ruling.
The scaremongering has been at epic levels since Trump’s July announcement, despite Kavanaugh previously stating that Roe v. Wade was a “binding precedent” and further that he had no intention of attempting to overturn it.

As was to be expected, Clinton harped on about abortion rights being a mere healthcare access issue and failed to detail the figures which highlight that most of the 300,00+ terminations that take place every year are carried out on the basis of convenience.
“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, according to CNS News.
But then, she went even further – highlighting the supposed positive effect Roe v. Wade has had on the US economy since its enforcement in the early 1970’s.
“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 bellowed. “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 received some fierce backlash to her comments on social media. She attempted to answer some of those who were frustrated by her bizarre remarks, which seemed to suggest that ending of human life was a good means to boosting the economy. In February of this year, the National Right to Life Committee marked the 45 year anniversary of the ruling by totaling up the number of babies that have been aborted since the decision was handed down: 60,069,971.
James- I am thankful to be my parents’ daughter (you misspelled Rodham), my kids’ mom & for my elementary to graduate school teachers for nurturing critical thinking. Pro-choice is pro-life. Finally, more on our health work at @ClintonFdn, @CHAI_health & @HealthierGen. Blessings. https://t.co/Rf8rxIsdsz

Hi KrisiAnn- That’s not what I said as you can see in the video. Reproductive rights have always been economic rights. A recent study (https://t.co/IavJXRyHqo) found denying women-often already mothers-a wanted abortion results in years of less employment & more family poverty. https://t.co/MGQ4Rdf812

But various other experts argue that abortion actually hammers the economy.
More from LifeNews:
Dennis Howard, president of the pro-life group Movement for a Better America, argued in 2008 that the abortion deaths of 50 million unborn babies cost the U.S. about $35 trillion in gross domestic product (GDP). Still more research estimates a federal tax revenue loss of about $16 trillion due to the lost workforce.
But regardless of the economic impact, the debate should be fixed around the morality of ending, often brutally, the life of a viable and individual human person.
Unborn babies are “individual human beings,” says Ben Shapiro in his viral video explaining the moral horror that is abortion. “If the baby is outside the womb and you stuck a knife through its chest you’d be charged with first-degree murder. You kill it in the womb, and we call it a human right. That’s not a human right because the baby is a human, but you’ve decided that it does not have any human rights, because you just decided that its rights are less important than your right to your own convenience. It’s despicable.”
It seems as if Chelsea Clinton is attempting to make some logical, albeit flawed, arguments, in a vain attempt to try and bypass the biggest question of our time – are we really ok with executing an unborn baby?
