She wants to promote abortion as a cost-saving measure.
The Democrats have rolled out a new strategy for combating the affordability crisis: kill your kids, and pocket the money you would have otherwise spent on caring for them.
This strategy comes to us courtesy of Jessica Valenti, one of the most abortion-obsessed women in the world. She dedicates her career to demanding that abortion be maximally available on demand on her Substack, Abortion, Every Day.
Last week, Valenti was asked to sound off on how abortion is a “kitchen-table issue” in an interview with Vox’s Astead Herndon. He explained that Democrats have fretted that the party was too focused on social issues in 2024 and that they have sought to refocus themselves on people’s everyday economic concerns. Herndon asked Valenti to explain how abortion is really within the “prism” of this “affordability framework.”
“I mean, it is an affordability issue, right? Like you’d be hard-pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not you’re going to be forced into pregnancy, or not even forced into pregnancy but forced into massive medical debt because your, you know, pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”
Of course, this question Valenti refers to, “whether or not to have a child,” is really a question of whether or not to kill your existing child.
Valenti concludes that this decision of whether or not to kill your baby is just the same as sitting around your kitchen table with your spouse and deciding whether to change to a cheaper phone plan or spend less on eating out that month.
“And so I do not see how this is not a kitchen table issue when you talk about it,” she said. “Voters understand it when you are actually talking about it.”
Apparently, the reason Valenti sees dollar signs when she thinks of abortion is that she herself is happy every day that her bank account is a little fuller because her child is dead. Yes, when Valenti was 28 years old, she killed her own unborn child. She has spoken about how much better her life is because her dead child is not a part of it anymore.

“The life and family I have now simply would not exist without that abortion,” she wrote in 2021. Moreover, she explained, she would not have been able to have a successful career advocating for abortion and “helping” other women abort their own babies. “Because of my abortion,” she wrote, “I wrote books and gave speeches; I did work that helped other women.”
Valenti is also happy she aborted her child because she prefers her living daughter. Without her abortion, she said, “I would not have had my incredibly loved daughter, Layla.”
It gets worse. Valenti went on to abort her third child because she had a complication during her previous pregnancy, HELLP syndrome, which is a variant of preeclampsia. She wrote that the complication “nearly killed us both,” which strangely acknowledges that she believes a child in the womb can be killed. According to the Preeclampsia Foundation, HELLP syndrome reoccurs during a subsequent pregnancy an average of 5 percent of the time. This means she killed her child out of fear of a syndrome that she had a 5 percent chance of developing. HELLP has a mortality rate of about 1.1 percent, according to the American Pregnancy Association. Moreover, Valenti would have been under close supervision to monitor for any reoccurring symptoms of HELLP, meaning the mortality rate likely would have been lower; the Cleveland Clinic says HELLP syndrome can be life-threatening “when the condition isn’t treated.”
And yet Valenti claimed that she would not have her “very life” had she not aborted that third child. “Without abortion, I wouldn’t have the friends I have now, or the career, or even my very life,” she said. The chances of her dying, she wrote, “were significant.” (RELATED: The Demonic Possession of Liberal Women)
“The truth,” she said, “is that all abortions create something. Paths forward, lives lived, connections made. Some are hard, some are beautiful — but all are chosen. And that’s what we can’t afford to lose.”
That “something” supposedly “creat[ed]” by abortion apparently includes money.
Valenti does not seem to realize the end logic of her position: the elderly, the poor, the vulnerable, and the sick should all just be killed because they do not contribute to ideal economic conditions.
This is a twisted worldview from a very twisted woman.
