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.

#14  Abortion has reduces Democrat Voter rolls drastically.
It is a given, that the vast majority of abortions are performed on Liberal/Democrat voting mothers impregnated by the same demographic type donor.


The voter rolls, sure. But not actual voters. While middle class Democratic women who get abortions vote religiously, poor women who get abortions have better things to do... although their ballots will be counted regardless who mailed them in.

#13  So how does this balance with BLM - WOKE - Social Justice - and etc?
Given, Abortion has already eliminated over 25++ MILLION Minority births since 1973.


They figure to make up those numbers with illegal immigrants who are willing to work in the cotton fields.

#10  Could this woman say things even more stupid?

Remember their cause is opposite land; like vegans talking about how good their food is because it tastes like meat.

Same reason they push the gay lifestyle; the lack of children makes income 100% consumerism based, all expenditures are food and entertainment, no maternity/sick/school activity time off, no distractions from work or from fun.

Even the dullest of commies knows that power comes from the masses, and here she is advocated getting rid of the masses.

And just got to push the single woman party lifestyle cult. Watch some She-Hulk, get drunk on mimosas at the bar, go home with whoever, kick him out without a sandwich, spend the next day Sex and the City marathon texting girlfriends about how stupid men are. Go shopping. Repeat.

#9  While I support abortion only in the case of Medical Emergency, Non-viable birth (eg.still born) and/or a threat to mother's life.

The flip side of the coin is.
The whole process of Abortion is in direct conflict with several key Democrat Agenda items and causes.

Abortion has reduces Democrat Voter rolls drastically.

It is a given, that the vast majority of abortions are performed on Liberal/Democrat voting mothers impregnated by the same demographic type donor.

So how does this balance with BLM - WOKE - Social Justice - and etc?
Given, Abortion has already eliminated over 25++ MILLION Minority births since 1973.

Abortion has reduced the Democrat Voter rolls by millions already, and is in conflict with the DNC agenda on many points.

To me, it seems, the Political Party of the KKK, Jim Crow and lynchings. Has just found another way to conduct its racist and suppression agenda. All while pretending to be the champions of Blacks and Minorities.

BTW: China is now seeing its results of Population control. It's 1 birth policy has resulted in MORE Males than Females. Was it a plan to build up Male population numbers for a war?

A question the MSM press needs to ask a few Democrat Reverends-Politicians.

Q: As a preacher / Man of GOD. How can you support the Democrat party on Abortion and still claim to follow the word of GOD?

#7  The solution to the abortion issue is that every abortion done for economic or lifestyle purposes comes with a free sterilization procedure.

#6  It's not 'conscription' when you know what it takes to become pregnant. It's voluntary. Just don't do it.
