Boebert: I Had My Son Because The Pill Cost Too Much

“I left a prescription at a pharmacy once. I went to get birth control. I was there at the counter, went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said wow, is this a three-, six-month prescription? They said, no ma’am, this is one month. I said it’s cheaper to have a kid. And I left it there, and now I have my third son, Kaydon Boebert, and so it actually turned out to be a really great thing.” – Rep. Lauren Boebert, during today’s House hearing on lowering prescription drug prices, which she apparently opposes.

As AOC notes, last year Boebert joined all House GOP reps in voting against the Right To Contraception Act, which would have enshrined such protections in federal law.

And then she voted against the right to contraception so she could double this problem and give it to the next person https://t.co/NkNWzH3Jqt
