Tim Scott Gives Knock out Response to Biden's Treasury Secretary for Saying Abortion Helps the Job Market

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott revealed himself to be a walking, talking example of the potential of how a child born into abject poverty can rise to become one of the more notable politicians of his time. Not that he’s the first, nor will he be the last.
During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Scott was questioning Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who was in the midst of testifying on Tuesday about how abortion is beneficial to the economy.
“Just for clarity’s sake, did you say that ending the life of a child is good for the labor force participation rate?” Scott asked.
Yellen gave the typical drivel about how women could better serve the economy by being able to abort pregnancies at will, making it easier to navigate the job market and live their best life. She noted that financial security was a big part of satisfaction and that children throw a wrench into the gears.
“And one aspect of a satisfying life is being able to feel that you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the world are wanted, and that you have the ability to take care of them,” she said.
Among those getting abortions are teenagers and women in poverty, specifically those in black communities.
“It deprives them of the ability to continue their education to later participate in the workforce,” said Yellen. “So, there is spillover into labor force participation, and it means the children will grow up in poverty and do worse themselves.”
At that point, Scott had to cut her off.
