Interesting. She turns 50 years old in March. Good luck on her pregnancy.

I was amazed to learn that Tammy Duckworth will be 50 by the time the baby is born. Well, good luck to her.

She is a typical theatrical Democrat. So you can expect a breastfeeding on the Senate floor debate to pop up, etc.

"Hey! They have Doctors located at Congress!"

Our Congress critters and their entourage have the best medical care that the taxpayers can afford.

Congratulations to Sen Duckworth and her family, prayers for uneventful pregnancy & a healthy baby.

Giving birth while serving in the Senate and attempting to destroy our country from the ground up.

What a concept.

[House Atreides]

Yes, and a POLITICALLY WELL-TIMED planned pregnancy to boot.

I am happy when people have babies, especially married people....

congrats to the happy couple....

How can she do her job with an infant? Will she be neglecting her child? That was the refrain when Sarah Palin had a newborn while running for veep

What’s a Duckworth? Probably cost you a few big bills.

Chelsea Clinton and husband produced the needed photo-op grandchild in time for the 2106 election. May have helped but it wasn’t enough.

Is there a plaque for that or just cookies and milk?

Not willing to put her pro-choice position into practice?
Hypocrite.

Sounds like she doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

“Congratulations to Sen Duckworth and her family, prayers for uneventful pregnancy & a healthy baby.”

I agree. Having a kid at 50!! Yikes.

My theory is you start going down hill when you hit 40. 50, they put you on the Jamaican bob sled team. You are flying down that hill.

I guess she has enough money to hire somebody to raise it.

Still give her credit for not flushing it.

You win some, you lose some. Sometimes you Thai.
