Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert decided to use her speaking time during a Thursday House hearing to display photos of human fetuses.
During a Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee hearing, Boebert explained why she wanted to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list.
“I appreciate this time today and thank you so much for everyone who’s attending here and traveling so far to be here,” she began. “I do want to say before my opening remarks, you know, since we’re talking about the Endangered Species Act, I’m just wondering if my colleagues on the other side would put babies on the endangered species list.”
She then help up photos of human fetuses as she continued to speak.
“These babies were born in Washington, D.C. full term. I don’t know, maybe that’s a way we can save some children here in the United States.”
Boebert then turned to the gray wolf.
“For far too long, the Endangered Species Act has been weaponized by extremists, extremist environmentalists, to obstruct common sense multiple-use activities that they disagree with.”
