What was said
"Do you Do you remember my slide about if we didn't abort one-third of our babies, we'd have 45 million more people in our labor force?"
Rachel Wilson says abortion has significantly reduced the size of the US workforce, claiming it would be 45 million larger without abortions. An opponent disputes the estimate and questions the assumptions behind it. Wilson cites figures she attributes to Guttmacher and the US Department of Labor.
