Life is like a blur; we barely have time to process it all.
17-year-old Tyler Boebert, son of Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert, and his fiancée are expecting their first child next month.
Boebert, 36, announced on Tuesday while speaking at a Moms for America rally, where she defended the values of her rural countrymen.
They are “extremely thrilled to welcome this new life into our family,” Boebert said of her and her husband Jayson’s impending addition. “I want to tell everyone in a public forum that in April I will become a Gigi to a fresh new granddaughter, in addition to being a parent to four boys.”
The Republican representative’s praise of “rural conservative communities” continued when she claimed that more teen mothers in those regions refused abortions than in urban ones.
According to Boebert, what distinguishes conservative communities in rural areas?
They value human life very highly.
She elaborated, saying that teenage pregnancy is more common in conservative rural areas because people there value the impending birth of a child more highly.
A report published in 2019 in the American Journal of Public Health suggests that “local factors that limit undesired pregnancy management alternatives” contribute to higher teen birth rates in rural areas.
Limits on abortion have been established in states where the Republican party is in charge of the legislature after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year.
Boebert was born and raised in Colorado, one of only six states in the United States that allows abortions at any point in the pregnancy.
Boebert opted to skip her senior year of high school after learning she was pregnant with Tyler.
After getting her GED and running for office, she won and will be a member of Congress by 2020.
According to the CDC, almost half of the adolescent moms do not complete high school by the time they are 22 years old, whereas 90% of women who do not become pregnant as teenagers go on to complete high school.
The legislator told her son about the conversation she had with her husband after learning she would become a grandma at the age of 36 and how she was not upset by the news.
“But didn’t you make granny a 36-year-old granny?” Tyler said when I told him I was going to be a grandma at the age of 36.
My reply was a confident “Yes, I did.
She recounted his remark, “Well then it’s hereditary,” which was met with a cacophony of laughing from the crowd.
The best you could do was a “good try, buddy,” she said.
Boebert commented on receiving backlash last week for suggesting, during a CPAC session, that students in American sex education programs learn about same-sex intercourse.
However, as Boebert pointed out, the gender ideology being taught in some schools goes beyond simple sexism.
They sexified everything to the extreme. They are teaching children and teenagers how to engage in sexual acts, including those with members of the same sex.
