One Democrat lawmaker has gone so far in supporting abortion, she’s reducing the decision to murder babies to a cost-benefit analysis.
On Tuesday, Julie McCluskie, a Colorado Democrat and Speaker for the House in the Colorado legislature, spoke on a bill she is currently co-sponsoring to require “abortion care services” to be covered by Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus program participants.
It would also require public employee insurance plans to cover abortions.
During her time to speak on the bill, McCluskie focused on how much money the state could save if women chose to have abortions rather than giving birth.
She reduced pregnancy and life to a price tag, concluding that those children should just die because it’s cheaper.
She described to her colleagues how the state government would benefit financially from the bill. “That savings comes from the averted births that will not occur, because abortions happened instead.
“A birth is more expensive than an abortion, so the savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur,” she added.
