Well, here’s a take on the leaked Roe v. Wade draft decision we hadn’t heard previously. We had just thought overturning Roe v. Wade would hurt Planned Parenthood’s bottom line, but Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen explained to Sen. Bob Menendez Tuesday that “limiting access to abortion” would have “very damaging effects” on the economy. Menendez even cited a study suggesting that current state restrictions on abortion cost the United States about $105 billion annually. Maybe it’s not the “Putin price hike” after all; it’s those heartbeat bills to blame for our economic woes.

We were opposed to abortion before, but $105 billion? That might change our minds on Roe v. Wade.
Think she got a heads up on that question?🤔🤔

Ending the lives of unborn babies is good for the economy.
That's an interesting take.

Why is the Secretary of the Treasury weighing in on this? Her statement is rather revealing though – is this really about women's choice or is it about population control?

Population control. Of course.

Actually, reducing birthrates creates a smaller aging workforce. The smaller workforce reduces productivity and would be harder tasked to support social programs like social security through taxation. It's been playing out for over a decade now.

This (among countless other reasons) is why we can’t take what they say seriously.

it's fun to just say things

If only there were ways to prevent getting pregnant

Right? Isn’t that what Planned Parenthood is for? Planning parenthood?
For God’s sake, what is this world people live in where birth control doesn’t exist?

And there it is. It’s about the economy. Wow.

Listen to Yellen and Menendez treat women as a collective, economic benefit, rather than as individuals who possess feminine dignity.

Yellen has a very damaging effect on the economy and is setting women back decades.
— DrDave Menke (@DrDHMenke) May 10, 2022
I believe there’s more than just that. But let’s ask the one person who’s done a terrible job on what would set back the economy.

So their position is to reduce the population through abortion but open the southern border to increase the population. I vote we give the unborn the same chance at life as we do the aliens/migrants/immigrants.
— Les Reed (@NewageReed) May 10, 2022
Huh? From the same people that want unlimited immigration of poor people, because we need the workforce.
— Ultra Friedrich von Steuben (@CanYouRewindIt) May 10, 2022
Keep killing unborn babies to keep women in the workforce. Ghouls.

Sacrificing babies into the raging volcano will appease the god of economic growth. Trust the folks from DC

We could end world hunger with that $105 billion, or so we’ve been led to believe.
