quote from idiot beverly la haye (wife of "left behind" series author tim la haye) and "leader" of "concerned women for america" on the Phil Donahue (pretty sure it was Phil and not one of the others) talk show wayyyyyy back when. When he picked his jaw up off the ground, he looked at her and said, "You don't actually believe that, do you?" She insisted that she did.

I mention this again after hearing boebert bragging about being a 36 year old grandmother next month, as her 17 year old son and his 15 year old girlfriend become parents. She bragged about all the rural teen moms in her district, and how they love and value life. And just recently, she voted against comprehensive sex ed.
