Reverend Franklin Graham has condemned former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton’s claim that legalizing abortion has helped boost the U.S. economy by three and a half trillion dollars.

As CNSNews.com first reported, Ms. Clinton recently credited the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision for helping to add trillions to the U.S. economy because women began having abortions, freeing them to enter the work force.

In a post on his Facebook page, Rev. Graham refuted Clinton’s economic argument for abortion, comparing it to something Adolf Hitler might have claimed in defense of the mass murder of Jews:

“Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, claims that legalizing abortion added trillions of dollars to the economy. What a lie. Hitler probably also claimed that killing the Jews would be good for their economy. “Legalizing abortion hasn’t added anything to our country, it has only taken away. It has cost this nation more than 60 million lives—lives precious to God. Just think of the contribution these people would have made.”
