Allie Beth Stuckey takes down absurd motherhood lies spouted on ‘The View’

When conservative mother Isabel Brown spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference, she used the platform to champion having more children — a cause BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” can easily get behind.

However, not everyone appreciated Brown’s stance, particularly the women of “The View.”

“I think it’s just really reckless to be suggesting that people should have children when you now know, in this country, there’s this affordability crisis. And for a two-person household, a married household, you need over $400,000 for child care,” Sunny Hostin explained to the panel.

Hostin went on to claim that Brown was “advocating for people to be born into poverty,” where those children will not be educated, housed, or fed.

“At the same time … this government is cutting all of the services that would allow people to have families and big families,” she added.

Stuckey calls Hostin’s statement “over-the-top, inaccurate, and absurd.”

“No one said that having children comes without sacrifices and comes without some form of what people may call inconvenience. But the idea that you have to be making almost half a million dollars a year to be able to just survive with children is absurd,” she says.

“It’s not true today. It has never been true in all of history,” she adds.

But Hostin wasn’t the only one on the panel who criticized Brown’s statement.

“I gave our girl Isabel a little Google,” Whitney Cummings said. “She has a baby. She has a 1-year-old. Of course, she thinks everyone should have a lot of kids. She has a 1-year-old that sleeps all day.”

“I also was like, ‘I’m going to have a bunch more kids.’ Wait till your kid is up and walking and you spend most of your day trying to get its shoes on. You’re probably going to rethink how many kids you have,” Cummings added.

“I must be doing motherhood wrong because, see, my 1-year-olds were awake all day, and they took a nap for a couple hours in the afternoon, but they were awake. Are you thinking about a 1-month-old? A 1-year-old is a toddler,” Stuckey responds.

“Having a 1-year-old is, like, one of the most challenging times because they’re so mobile, they’re so energetic, and yet they can’t just sit there and be entertained by a book for very long. And so, that’s crazy,” she continues.

Stuckey, who has three children of her own, believes that Hostin and Cummings are actually just placing convenience and luxury over children — much like other women in the “child-free movement.”

Stuckey plays a clip one woman posted on TikTok of herself discussing how wonderful it is to lie around all day and prioritize her own needs instead of having children.

“That’s such a superficial and selfish reason not to have kids,” she says.
