Rep. Lauren Boebert says she decided it was 'cheaper to have a kid' after seeing the price of one month of birth control: 'Now I have my third son' Rep. Boebert said she decided it was "cheaper to have a kid" after seeing the price of birth control. The Colorado GOP congresswoman had her first child when she was in high school. She said it "turned out to be a really great thing," noting that she's since had three children. Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado made an eyebrow-raising comment on Wednesday: that she first began having children after balking at the price of birth control at a local pharmacy. "My staff is probably gonna talk to me about this later," Boebert quipped as she began recounting the "fun little story" during a House Oversight Committee hearing on prescription drugs on Wednesday. Boebert asked witness Kevin Duane, the owner of a pharmacy in Jacksonville, Florida, if he'd seen patients leave their prescribed medicines at his pharmacy due to being unable to pay — before saying that she had done just that. "I left a prescription at a pharmacy once — I went to get birth control," said Boebert. "I was there at the counter, and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high." Boebert said she initially thought the cost may have been for a three to six-month prescription, but was informed that it was just for one month. "And I said, 'it's cheaper to have a kid,'" Boebert recalled. "And I left it there, and now I have my third son, Kaydon Boebert." "It turned out to be a really great thing," Boebert added.[/i] Boebert, who recently filed for divorce from her husband of 20 years, dropped out of high school after becoming pregnant with her first child in 2004. The Colorado congresswoman later made the local news for delivering her third son, Kaydon, in a pick-up truck. According to Planned Parenthood, birth control pills can cost up to $50 per month, depending on health insurance coverage. Not that having a child by choice isn't a "Good Thing!" (I love my four wonderful children! - best parts of my life that ever happened! ![]() Best wishes to her & her Children. She missed a great opportunity to name her 3rd "F-150" or "Silverado"... ![]() Bigger_Hammer ![]() |

I really like her, and I’m glad she’s in Congress.
But that statement is window licking retarded. |
|
Nothing wrong with beautiful conservative wimminz having more than 2.5 children. Your chests should swell with pride!
Seriously, good for her. |
|
Her book was actually pretty interesting. She’s one of the real people who slip through occasionally and make all kinds of waves in the hive of villains in DC

She's very much on our side. The left has made her a target because she is strongly on our side. We should not fall into the left's trap and parrot crap that they push to try to make her look bad.
They are out to get her. She must be a threat to them. She must be doing something right. Mocking the very ones that are working the hardest for conservative causes does not help our cause. Does the OP have any comments about Adam Schiff or Chuck Schumer? |

Good, she got her some real good retard attention. She should be good for a while.

I'm guessing the haters didn't actually watch the video of her telling her story on how she sarcastically made the comment when she found out how much birth control was and couldn't afford it.

She’s not too much older than me and already a grandma, that blows my mind.

I abhor abortion, but can you imagine the welfare rolls, if we didn't have it. It will also help with this reparations BS. They can't even get back to third generation because...WE WAS KANGS! I am a fan of Boebert.

I watched the video. I think it’s a tongue and cheek thing. She stepped up to the plate and took care of those kids. This is also coming from ultra Marxist yahoo news which says a lot about OP and where he gets his news.
|

Oof.
I thought this could be a joke and TL:DR. From the responses, she is serious? Oof still wood tho |

Cringe. Where is this from? |

She’s one of the real people who slip through occasionally and make all kinds of waves in the hive of villains in DC View Quote Many in GD seem to prefer the villains of DC, since those villains appear to be “smart”. Ah well, that’s the problem with making sarcastic comments, they get taken out of context by propagandists and lapped up by sheep looking for affirmation for their beliefs. Of course it ultimately doesn’t matter, the Leftists could vilify a ham sandwich. |

If her and AOC were to make out, topless, would that unite the country?

View Quote I don't think it was tongue and cheek thing, but her actual statement was paradoxical testimony that birth control was a bad idea in retrospect. What she really did say was that, indeed, birth control was something she couldn't afford, and for her that turned out to be a good thing. |

Most of GD picks on hood rats for that exact same type of circumstance. Somehow this woman gets a pass though. I really hope her kids aren't as dumb as she is, but the certainly doesn't seem to be the case so far. |

It's a damn shame she's not nearly as smart as the Prius drivers who sip tea while listening to NPR Weekend Update and reading The Atlantic on Sundays before they go to nondenominational churches with plenty of "We believe that black lives matter and and trans kids exist and no human being is illegal signs" and not a cross to be found, who are smarter than her and will signal both their virtue and their education at every possible opportunity.
/sarc My donation to her 2024 campaign just got fifty bucks taller. |

Her little anecdote is less disturbing than the fact that she named the baby "Kaydon."

I met her at the 2020 Lobby Day rally in Richmond. No one had told her that it was cold in VA in January and she was very underdressed for the weather. She froze her ass off the whole day to support us in what was primed to be a violent situation. She may not be perfect, but she's on our team and she fights.
I gave her two handwarmers. I should have gave her my top layer. |

View Quote Congress votes as a block, and typically as they are told to vote. 2nd, you never see democrats dogpilling their allies due to the many flaws they have. We may be principalled but if we don't have the votes that won't matter. Dumb shit thing to say maybe but I can count on her to vote the way I'd want on the things that matter. Isn't that the point? |

I'll take her as congresswoman over literally ANY democrat alive.
I like her. |
