Lauren Boebert Doesn’t Think Roe v. Wade Impacts the LGBTQ Community Because They ‘Can’t Get Pregnant’

By

Let’s try to be positive today in dealing with Lauren Boebert. Yesterday, we reported on the fact that she had to be the single dumbest member of the MAGA caucus for explaining that she became a conservative due to her experience while giving birth to a baby in a pick-up but then being charged full price by the hospital (presumably she continued on to the hospital after giving birth.)

In a sense, maybe Boebert has a point with respect to the hospital. Perhaps it really was awful that the hospital would charge for delivering a baby that was already born when they hit the doors of the ER. The problem is we don’t see how that translates to conservative values, given that the Republicans are the ones that are forever protecting for-profit healthcare.

Today we’ll try to put a positive spin on the stupid things that Boebert says. In an interview that may have occurred last night (It is hard to tell), Boebert at least acknowledged that the people who are most impacted by the Roe v. Wade reversal are the people that can get pregnant. The problem, of course, is that Boebert skipped over the fact that four of the five justices who voted to repeal abortion rights in this country are men who “cannot get pregnant.”

So when she says that she cannot figure out why the LGBTQ would care about the repeal of Roe v. Wade because “they cannot get pregnant,” she is ignoring the L/B/T/Q portion of the community, but we can certainly focus on the men who overturned the right.

Trying to be positive… maybe she’s coming around?
