Well said. Your arguments are solid and honest. This is the kind of leadership we need in a culture gone awry. Thank you Bethany and family

I'm not sure what this article is trying to prove. That someone of privilege doesn't have the same experiences as those from less fortunate circumstances? It's unfortunate that elected officials are so blind to the struggles and realities of others. Not everything can be made better with different "lifestyle choices" . Ms. Soye sure put her ignorance on display here.

Love this! There is nothing more difficult and yet more fulfilling than raising children.

Oh my, what a sad viewpoint. Totally out of touch with the real world.

Communist Chuck Point with another fascist comment.

Tom, someone might be a Communist or they might be a fascist, but, they cannot be both. They are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. You should be ashamed of yourself for Name Calling. If there were a Fascist in this discussion my guess is it is you.

Wow. Another elected official with no class calling constituents names. Do better. Nothing in that comment has anything to do with communism or facism, of which you probably don't even know the definitions. You just enjoy slinging mud to feel better about your own pitiful life.

First of all, I never asked you for your opinion JENNY. What's your last name? Stop hiding behind the Anymonity.

Second off, feminists today hate and try to destroy men. They believe in toxic masculinity....and your definition of liberal is not even close to reality.

I believe God didn't intend for man and woman to be equal, but instead he intended foe them to compliment each other.

Wow. Another feminist spewing liberal b/s hiding behind their anonymity by failing to post their last name. Do better!

First of all. I believe elected representatives should be respectful of constituents, even when disagreeing. Your name calling shows your immaturity and true character.

Calling me a feminist and liberal isn't the insult you think it is.

Feminist- an advocate of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes

Liberal- willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.

So you don't believe in equality of the sexes and aren't open to new ideas?

Thank you Representative Soye for stepping up to be an elected official on top of raising the next generation. Both are jobs with many challenges. May God continue to bless you.

You are spot on Bethany. You are a leader and a great mom.

Well done, Rep. Soye. Thanks for making a difference, God bless you.

She speaks well. Thank you.

Ha. How ironic: One guy’s (non-uterus) comment who is an old “get off my lawn “ yeller on here who’s with a large local company telling someone else they’re clueless about the real world. Yeah, preach on. Pfft.
