Congratulations to 36-year-old Grandma-to-be Rep. Lauren Boebert!
Anti-abortion Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert has said that her 17-year-old son will make her a grandmother in April. She also gave her thoughts on abortion rights and praised the “rural conservative communities” that “value life.”
Boebert was talking at an event hosted by conservative non-profit Moms for America, as per a video shared by Twitter account PatriotTakes. She said that one of her four sons, 17-year-old Tyler, and his girlfriend are expecting a baby boy.
No regrets, no sirree! Because they are Christian Conservatives!
“There’s something special about rural conservative communities,” Boebert continued. “They value life. If you look at teen pregnancy rates throughout the nation, well, they’re the same, [in] rural and urban areas. However, abortion rates are higher in urban areas. Teen moms’ rates are higher in rural conservative areas, because they understand the preciousness of a life that it’s about to be born.”

Boebert was a teen mom herself and had to drop out of high school because of her pregnancy. She has received harsh criticism online this week for blasting sex education classes in schools. She had said that public school students should not be taught about enjoying sex and what LGBTQ people do in bed.
“There are schools that are teaching worse than just gender ideology,” Boebert said this week during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). “I mean they have comprehensive sex-ed. They’re teaching kids how to have and enjoy sex, and even same-sex sex.”
I think that young Tyler learned how to enjoy sex all on his own, just fine; what he didn’t learn is how to put a condom on it, or apparently how to put a ring on it, as Beyonce once said.
And who knows that choices his girlfriend might have made if she had had sex ed.
Maybe nothing would be different, but maybe it would.
Mock Paper Scissors 
I don’t know why they have such a problem with same sex relationships. If everybody would just have same sex relationships it would bring the nation’s age long abortion nightmare to an end.

Hush it, keep your mouth shut. We did not come here to talk about the time when Lauren Boebert husband got busted for waving his dick around at the bowling alley. That is normal.

“If you don’t like same-sex relationships, don’t have one” is my standard response.
Of course that’s pretty much my response on the abortion issue, too. And the transgender issue. And thedrag show issue. and, and , and down the line.
nunyadamnbidness, and your precious religious feefees end at the tip of your nose, which I will happily teach you the location of if you get up in my personal business.

Funny that she neglects to mention the other reason these rural women get less abortions, access.

Plus, their cousins might have told them they can’t get pregnant if they do it in the barn.

Never heard that one before. Lack of country cousins I guess.

Those poor kids! This is so sad. Can you even imagine going to Nana Lauri’s house for pork sliders? This is a tragedy in the making.

In all the hoopla, has anyone checked to see how the mom-to-be feels about it? Does she have any say in the matter? A child herself the right to a life?
I think the Palin 2.0 obsv is exactly right ~ this is just attracting her more attention than she deserves. Ignore it, it will go away …

True that, not a word about the young lady’s feelings about all this. Not many 17-year-old girls are happy about being a parent, and there is also the divorce rate for childhood marriages. I see nothing to be happy or excited about, just 2 kids, trapped by a poor decision at a moment of passion. Sad.

“She had said that public school students should not be taught about enjoying sex and what LGBTQ people do in bed.” \
I point out she didn’t say she opposed sex education, just that the kids were supposedly being taught how to enjoy sex. \
I am glad that back in the past we had sex education in High School. It was the class that was the mix of the drivers education class and sex education class. It actually makes sense since the car was the primary location for that first use of sex education.
I also note that sex and ice cream, go together like a horse and carriage…

I will also note that long, long ago, when I was but a college lad, working as a busboy at the University cafeteria, one of the people I worked with was a grandmother at 30, because the kid she had at 15 herself was pregnant…at 15.
Who knows, she coulda been a great-great-grandma at age 60…
