Letter to the Editor,

Not another Clinton

Chelsea Clinton, mother of two children, recently gave a speech stating that abortion is good for the country because it creates economic growth. 

Unfortunately, in order for this economic growth to occur, fetal growth has to be aborted.

She said to strengthen support for abortion emphasize what a tremendous economic benefit the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade has been. 

Roe freed more women to work unencumbered by motherhood, and over time has added $3.5 trillion to the U.S. economy. 

Does Chelsea feel she is encumbered by her children to work? 
Or are only poor, financially disadvantaged women encumbered by their motherhood?

Liberals have literally put a price on children, because the mass killing of children is making money for the country. 

With this type of thinking slavery should be reinstated because it would bring more money to the country and economic growth is of greater importance than the flourishing of human worth.

Liberals insist that the baby in the mother’s womb is not a person, but merely the property of the women who can choose to do with her property whatever she chooses. 

The woman is the master of her property. 

Wasn’t that the same argument used to justify slavery, that slaves were not persons but only property.

According to liberals, proprietary-rights are only justified in this case, because they preach against personal private-property rights in their socialist agenda where everything is shared equally so there wouldn’t be income inequality.

According to liberals, morality doesn’t matter, all that matters is making money for the country. 

But isn’t that exactly what the liberals accuse the conservatives of doing? 

Aren’t the liberals supposed to be against the rich and for the poor? 

Don’t they say they care more about poor people than they care about rich people? 

Has an abortion ever made a poor, financially disadvantaged woman, any richer? 

No, she will only be bankrupt of her child’s life and love.

Imagine if Hillary had chosen to abort Chelsea, then this speech would never have been given.
