‘The View’ co-hosts conservative influencer at CPAC to encourage young women to have more children
Several co-hosts of “The View” took turns criticizing conservative activist Isabel Brown on Monday for her statement encouraging young women to have more children.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Brown, a 28-year-old activist and recent mother of a one-year-old, advised that “it’s time” to start “encouraging your kids to grow up and be brave enough to get married and have kids — more kids than they can afford before they think they’re ready.”
He pointed out that this is one of the many important decisions, such as getting out of dating programs, taking out birth control pills, and saying “I do” at the altar, “which ends up entering the political processes that we will see save our country.”
Whoopi Goldberg, one of the hosts of the clip, was frustrated by the clip, saying, “Years ago they were going after women of color and accusing women of color of doing this very thing,” before yelling “what!” repeatedly.
“My biggest beef with this is that it puts a woman’s importance on her ovaries in a way that hasn’t been done in a long time,” answered co-producer Sara Haines. “Every women’s movement was not to end the habit of staying at home or to love culture, it was to give women the choice to do what they want.”
“They act like people are always saying yes, ‘No, I’m good,'” he continued. “The truth is that we keep putting this on women, that their only value in society, politics, policy is that if they raise a child or have a husband, it is the stupidest, oldest thing of all.”
“The world has more than 8 billion people! We no longer need to force people to give birth and give birth. We have come here. Women and girls now have a choice,” he said.
“But where is the call for responsibility to the men who make – who help make these children?” asked Ana Navarro who hosts the show. “I don’t know why people always teach women what to do and what not to do. The bottom line is, if you don’t pay my bills, you can’t tell me what to do with my uterus.”
Guest Whitney Cummings joked that it doesn’t take “courage” to get married, saying, “If your marriage takes courage, I have a lot of questions about your husband.”
He went on to criticize Brown in particular, saying that according to his research, he has a one-year-old child where they sleep all day.
“Wait until your child is up and walking, and you’re spending most of your day trying to put on their shoes. You’re probably going to rethink how many kids you have,” Cummings said.
“I think it’s really reckless to suggest that people should have more children when you now know that this country has this affordability problem,” said Sunny Hostin, saying that a married, two-person family needs to make more than $400,000 a year to afford childcare.
“So you encourage people to be born in poverty, people who can’t feed those children, people who can’t educate those children and people who can’t house those children at the same time when this government closes all the requirements that allow people to have families and large families.
Whoopi challenged Brown’s speech about encouraging young women to not hesitate to have families, and challenged her to go back and see if her views change.
Fox News Digital reached out to Brown, and she responded, “I’m really saddened by the hate and contempt that ‘The View’ shows for one of the best things about feminism. Their godless, anti-human propaganda is sickening, but in today’s society, it’s sadly not shocking.”
He continued, “They scream like demons about the simple, happy, timeless truth that young women should want to get married and have children.
“Youth of America – reject this with all your heart!” he warned.
