It is an unremarked on peculiarity that Meghan McCain, the fiery daughter of the late Senator John McCain, has become one of the most prominent representatives of the pro-life movement on TV. As one of the co-hosts of <\/span>The View<\/span><\/i> (although she is currently on leave taking care of her newborn daughter Liberty) and its sole conservative voice, McCain has consistently defended the pro-life perspective. She does this on a wildly popular daytime show in front of an audience, co-hosts, and guests who are almost always pro-choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add to that the fact that <\/span>The View\u2019s<\/span><\/i> veteran host Whoopi Goldberg has spoken frequently on air about her own abortion as a teenager, and McCain is fighting an uphill battle whenever she brings up abortion\u2014but yet she does, time and time again. She called out the Democrats for their support for late-term abortion in July of 2019, <\/span>triggering<\/span><\/a> Goldberg\u2019s ire. That same month, she <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a> a moving tribute to the child she lost through miscarriage in the <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/i>. \u201cI love my baby and always will,\u201d she wrote through her pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in February, as it became clear that the Democratic Party was going all in on abortion and infanticide, Meghan McCain warned that the decision would have consequences. \u201cI\u2019m pro-life, and not in the talking point of \u2018not for me but okay for other people\u2019 sense,\u201d she tweeted. Unsurprisingly, abortion activists responded with the vitriol they reserve for women who disagree with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pro-life, and not in the talking point of \u201cnot for me but okay for other people\u201d sense. I stand by what I said this morning, if the Democratic Party wants to be the party of late term abortion and infanticide, they won't just lose – history will judge them for what they did.<\/p>\n
