AOC says abortion is an 'economic' issue, claims birth 'conscripts' people to work 'against their will'
2022-10-01
[BIZPACREVIEW] Socialist diva Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
added yet another bizarre claim to her greatest hits, claiming that child sacrifice abortion is an economic issue because women being forced to care for an unwanted child are "conscripted" into a lifetime of work that deprives them of autonomy.

The childless New York City congresswoman’s wild assertion came on Thursday during a House hearing called by Democrats to grandstand on child sacrifice abortion less than six weeks before the midterm elections.

"Abortion is an economic issue," proclaimed the New York Democrat.

"Forcing poor and working-class people to give birth, against their will, against their consent, against their ability to provide for themselves or a child is a profound economic issue," she said. "And it’s certainly a way to keep a workforce, basically, conscripted to large scale employers and to employers to be — to work more against their will, to take second and third jobs against their desire and their own autonomy."

Of course, AOC didn’t mention less extreme options such as taking personal responsibility and using birth control but the child sacrifice abortion zealots never do.

"And so the idea that child sacrifice abortion and access to child sacrifice abortion is somehow not a profound and central economic and class issue and class struggle is certainly something that I think a person who’s never had to contend with the ability to carry a child, you know, it belies that perspective and it’s disappointing to see," Ocasio-Cortez added.
