According to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the only reason some companies are saying they’ll pay for their employees to travel and receive abortions in states where it’s legal is because they don’t want to provide parental leave benefits.
HuffPost notes that Boebert shared her brainless conspiracy theory on Twitter:
“Anyone else consider that these companies suddenly offering to pay for employee abortions are doing so just to avoid paying for maternity leave?”
“Cheaper to kill the baby… true evil personified.”
However, Boebert has also been a vocal critic of paid parental leave, such as what she said last November:
“I delivered one of my children in the front seat of my truck. Because, as a mom of four, we got things to do. Ain’t nobody got time for two and a half months of maternity leave. We have a world to save here.”
Saving the world? Sure thing, BoBo. You can’t even manage to keep your lies straight, yet alone “save” anyone.
Social media users blasted the Colorado Republican.
