"I am obviously a huge proponent of having children but one thing that really bothers me about conservative messaging on this is there are so many women who want to become mothers and can't or just haven't found the right person, McCain posted to X. Also some women don't want children and it's ok. The mother of three continued: We should be welcoming of all kinds of women and voters."
"I find this messaging just so harsh and I know others do too because they privately message me about it because I've shared my journey with miscarriages publicly. So many women are feeling so much shame and I hate it. I just don't get what we're doing here and would be cool if we focused on a broader idea and more nuanced image of a conservative woman."
Several high-profile conservative women have announced pregnancies, generating prominent celebration of motherhood across conservative circles. Meghan McCain cautioned that elevating motherhood in conservative messaging can alienate or shame women who cannot become mothers, have experienced miscarriages, or who choose not to have children, and called for welcoming all kinds of women and voters. McCain said she receives private messages from women feeling shame and urged a broader, more nuanced image of a conservative woman. Katie Miller, expecting her fourth child, criticized claims that young adults cannot afford fertility preservation and urged making reproductive tools affordable while offering universal paid leave and childcare.
