'It's cheaper to have a kid': Lauren Boebert explains why she quit birth control

"I left a prescription at a pharmacy once," she recalled. "I went to get birth control, and I was there at the counter and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said, wow, is this a three six-month prescription? 'No, ma'am, this is one month.'"

"And I said, it's cheaper to have a kid," the lawmaker added. "And I left it there, and now I have my third son."

So, I crunched some numbers, did some Googling. It apparently costs $310,605 to raise a child from birth to their 18th Birthday. Divide that by 12 months and 18 years, we're left with these options:

• There's some drug company whose rates are so usurious that they charge $1438 for a single month's worth of Birth Control
  
• She was one of those children who, when given a choice between one marshmallow now and two marshmallows fifteen minutes from now, chose the former immediately.
  
• She's an idiot who can't do math.
  
• She's lying.
  

And the sad thing is I can believe any of the four options.
