Tim Scott Gives Knock Out Response to Biden’s Treasury Secretary for Saying Abortion Helps the Job Market – Opinion

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott proved to be an example of what it takes for a child from poverty to rise up to become one the most prominent politicians of our time. Not that he’s the first, nor will he be the last.

Scott was questioning Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary at the Senate Banking Committee. She was preparing to testify on Tuesday regarding the economic benefits of abortion.

“Just for clarity’s sake, did you say that ending the life of a child is good for the labor force participation rate?” Scott asked.

Yellen argued the usual rant about how women could serve the economy better by being able, at their will, to terminate pregnancies. It would allow them to be more flexible in the job market to live the best lives possible. She pointed out that financial security is a key part of happiness and that children can throw a wrench in the works.

“And one aspect of a satisfying life is being able to feel that you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the world are wanted, and that you have the ability to take care of them,” she said.

Teenagers and those living in poverty are among those who have abortions, particularly those from black communities.

“It deprives them of the ability to continue their education to later participate in the workforce,” said Yellen. “So, there is spillover into labor force participation, and it means the children will grow up in poverty and do worse themselves.”

Scott then had to trim her off.

“I’ll just simply say that as a guy raised by a black woman in abject poverty, I am thankful to be here as a United States senator,” said Scott.

YELLEN: “In many cases, abortions are of teenage women – particularly low-income and often black — who aren’t in a position to be able to care for children.”

Checkmate. Checkmate.

Yellen, like many who make this argument, doesn’t seem to factor in stories like Scott’s and the myriad of stories just like his from the day of this country’s founding. Being born into poverty is no guarantee of poverty throughout someone’s life. Moreover, the left has bought into its own nonsense about the black community being helpless victims hook, line, and sinker that it probably didn’t even register to Yellen that she was speaking to a living example of why the targeted abortion of poor black babies isn’t just evil, it limits potential.

Democrats are targeting poor black communities to end the lives and fertility of their black child killers. If Scott’s presence is any indicator, one shudders to think what other great men and women could have been born that would have accomplished something incredible that changed the world as we know it.
