Rep. Lauren Boebert Shared Some Thoughts on Birth Control.
And they’re as ridiculous as you would think.
There are a lot of ways we could chose to describe today’s Republican Party, and exhausting would absolutely be one of them. The gaslighting. The compulsive need to stir up some kind of narrative that will generate a headline. The brazen hypocrisy they engage in. It’s relentless and intentionally so, and they are motivated by the desire to keep people too exhausted and frustrated to keep up.
If anyone engages in all of this mess, it would certainly be GOP Representative Lauren Boebert, who recently decided to share some thoughts on birth control and the costs in particular.
Sarah Fortinsky with The Hill writes:
“Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said during a hearing on drug pricing that she once declined to pay for birth control medicine when she saw how high the price was at the pharmacy.
Boebert recalled thinking at the time, “It’s cheaper to have a kid.”…”
It’s cheaper to have kids than be on birth control?
Honestly, the idea that those words would even come out of her mouth is just indicative of how profoundly lazy this lawmaker is. Either she’s just flat out lying or in her case, was just too lazy to even bother…
