Janet Yellen says repealing Roe v Wade would be very damaging to the economy.
God forbid we should lose half our potential labor force with so many people clamoring to fill all the highly paid positions going unfilled.
“I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,” Yellen said during a Senate Banking Committee hearing after Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) asked her about the economic implications of overturning Roe V. Wade.
“Roe v. Wade and access to reproductive health care, including abortion, helped lead to increased labor force participation. It enabled many women to finish school … [and] increase their earning potential,” she added.
I disagree. It would not set women back decades. It would set women back centuries.
That women could be enslaved as incubators for rapists is hard to fathom. That woman could be forced to die of sepsis rather than disturb a non-viable fetus? Unthinkable.
