The Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide, has been great for the economy, says Chelsea Clinton.
The former first daughter explained that, since 1973, there has been an explosion in the number of women entering the workforce, and that they are responsible for adding nearly half a trillion to the U.S. economy.
Roe v. Wade was also decided in 1973. You do the math.
"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,†Clinton said Saturday at a “Rise Up for Roe†event.
She added, "It is not a disconnected fact … 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."
