Hummm! Lauren Boebert announced that she will be come a grandma at the age of 36.

I feel real sorry for that child!

Raising a child in that crazy gun-loving, Trumpian, GOBer ranting, social pathetic, rhetoric filled, nut job of a family? Yikes?


She praises high rural teen birth rate as the “value of life”. Really?

Shouldn’t they want two adult parents in the household

2. I am guessing Boebert was a teen when her child was born?

36, makers her 17 or 18 at that time? But I’m not going to judge her. My mother was 18 when my she found out she was pregnant with my oldest brother.

3. No sane person or government on the planet wants teens to have unwanted pregnancies.

These people don’t want government, they want to worship craven images and false idols. If tRump isn’t a craven image and false idol ripped directly from the Holy Book, I don’t know what is. Read it some before it’s banned!

And the American media is trying to convince the nation such people, and attempted coups are normal and sane…doing heck of a job actually!

Good work, fellow XChristians! Don’t forget to mention once the baby born is not white, then all bets are off!….separate them from the mothers, lock them all up and lose them somewhere!
Hope that never happens in America!

The hypocrisy drips, it’s a flood now.

5. It has the added advantage, to them, of preventing education of girls

Lauren Boebert case in point. It’s not very good for the education of boys either. We need to campaign on the fact that Republicants are against education.

Generational, willful ignorance. Sex education is a good thing and NO, please don’t tell me that kids will be kids. I know that. That is ALL the more reason for them to have access to birth control. No 16, 17 or 18 year old is ready to be a parent in the world we live in today.

6. One could wonder if the 15 yo girl is being forced to have the baby for political expediency.

Would this have been handled with a discrete abortion if Guns Barbie wasn't trying to be a Repulsivecan Superstar?

7. My personal opinion?

She's trying to get ahead of the negative attention her family will be receiving. Teen pregnancy and technically statutory rape. Not a good look, but if she keeps enough bullshit in our faces, we'll forget that her son should be catching a case. (The girl is 15; age of consent is17).

Palin.

Sarah's family is a world class shit show. But in an assholery contest, I think BoBo's is winning.

wedlock pregnancy that she chose to cut off contact with the family - including her mother (my grandmother) and her sister (my mother) - for about two years rather than let them know what had happened - and only resumed contact after her daughter got married (not to the father of the out of wedlock child). I don't want to go back to days like that.

In today’s day and age, does the family NEED these kids to keep the farm running?
