Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) Tuesday rebutted Treasure Secretary Janet Yellen’s narrative about abortion during a Congressional hearing.
Yellen suggested that abortions mainly happen among teenage women, especially black and low-income teenage women.
“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 have unexpected pregnancies, and it deprives them of the ability often to continue their education to later participate in the workforce,” she said.
She went further to imply that those children—if they are born instead of aborted—will “grow up in poverty and do worse themselves.”
