Meghan McCain Calls Culture’s Attack On Motherhood The ‘Biggest And Worst Lie’
By Movieguide® Staff
Former co-host of THE VIEW, Meghan McCain, recently defended motherhood and condemned the cultural idea that having children is merely a “burden.”
“The biggest and worst lie my generation was ever sold is that motherhood is a burden and something you could take or leave,” McCain wrote in a tweet. “But nothing in my life compares to being Liberty’s mom — the sheer joy, fulfillment, privilege it is. [And] I’ve experienced a lot of amazing [and] surreal things.”

In 2021, McCain told Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover that she is thankful for her child and wants to have more in the future.
“It’s like seeing your heart outside your body,” she said. “I wish I had started having children much earlier because I want like 30 more. But obviously, I’m 37, so we’ll see what I can do. But I love it. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and every cliche I didn’t believe until I had a child.”
According to McCain, her late father, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), encouraged her to pursue motherhood.
McCain celebrated her first Mother’s Day in May 2021. McCain and her husband, Ben, welcomed Liberty into their family in September 2020.
“The greatest joy and unfathomable bliss of life is being her mother,” she wrote on Instagram.
In a separate post she added: “I will say having a daughter answers every existential and ontological question a human being confronts in this wild life. Ben and I have been so indescribably blessed and experienced nothing but an embarrassment of bliss since having Liberty.”
McCain is candid about her faith, which helped her overcome the tragedy of a miscarriage in 2019.
“I do not understand,” wrote McCain. “Life and death are beyond our power. This miscarriage has reminded me of that truth. And it has reminded me of one other truth: Love is within our power.”
