In a recent panel discussion at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2025, Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation, joined forces with Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, Elizabeth Monteleone, Chief Legal Officer of online dating platform Bumble, and Jamila K. Taylor, President and CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.

The topic of their discourse revolved around the controversial issue of abortion, which these women perceive as a necessity for the advancement of society.

The panel, titled "Reproductive Freedom: Good for Workers, Good for Business," was a platform for these women to express their belief that abortion, or the intentional termination of preborn children, should be legal. They argue that this would allow women to remain in the workforce, unimpeded by the responsibilities of motherhood, thereby contributing to the overall welfare of society.

Clinton, who holds a doctorate in International Relations and is the producer of the documentary "Zurawski v. Texas," was a prominent voice in the discussion. According to WND, the documentary follows a lawsuit filed by several women in Texas, including Amanda Zurawski, who alleged they were denied necessary abortions. However, it is important to note that none of these women required an induced abortion for their conditions, and any denial of care by doctors was inappropriate. Zurawski, for instance, needed a preterm delivery, not an induced abortion, which doctors failed to provide.

At the SXSW panel, Clinton asserted that access to abortion "is not just about patient health and well-being, it is a matter of society, economic and fiscal health." This statement aligns with her previous claim that "American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy." Essentially, Clinton suggests that the economic growth of our society justifies the termination of preborn children and the abandonment of motherhood. This perspective implies that women cannot successfully balance motherhood and a career, a notion that is inherently anti-feminist and dismissive of the significant contributions of stay-at-home mothers.

Taylor, during the panel discussion, claimed that Texas loses $16 billion annually due to restrictions on abortion, and the U.S. loses $68 billion a year for the same reason. However, it is crucial to remember that women have been part of the workforce long before Roe v. Wade was enacted in 1973. Many women, including mothers, joined the workforce during and after World War II, often out of necessity. The National Archives identifies World War II as the turning point for the increase in women's employment outside the home.

Clinton's argument overlooks the potential economic contributions that could have been made by the more than 63 million people who have been aborted since 1973. Furthermore, her claim that lack of access to abortion is a "painfully American" problem is misleading. During the 49 years that Roe v. Wade was in effect, the U.S. had one of the most permissive abortion laws in the world. Many countries, including Switzerland, Hungary, Denmark, Greece, Norway, and Ukraine, protect preborn children from abortion beginning at 12 weeks, and other nations protect preborn children even earlier.

The panel also saw erroneous claims from Taylor, who stated, "Abortion restrictions continue to be hugely unpopular, and it is having a broad effect." Clinton supported this with her assertion that "[Texas politicians and the Texas Supreme Court] do not represent the will of the people in the state." However, a recent University of Houston poll revealed that only 37% of 1200 Texans want abortion to be made easier to access in the state. Furthermore, a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in May 2024 found that only 46% of respondents support a national law allowing abortion through "viability" (defined by the poll as 24-28 weeks).

Contrary to Northup's claim that employees do not want to work in states where abortion is banned, the population of Texas has grown at a rapid pace, reaching 30.5 million – a 4.7% growth from April 2020 to July 2023. This suggests that the current pro-life laws are not as "unpopular" as the panelists would have us believe, and they indeed have the support of most Americans.
