*The View* cohosts have united to condemn a conservative influencer's controversial advice to young women about motherhood.

After 28-year-old Isabel Brown advised at the recent CPAC 2026 event that it was "high time" for women to start "encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids — more kids than they can afford before they think they're ready," the panelists slammed the social media personality's perspective.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, 70, reacted with disdain as she highlighted Brown's message during Monday's broadcast, and cued up a clip of Brown telling CPAC attendees that "deleting our dating apps and quitting birth control pills and saying, 'I do' at the altar" are choices that "ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see save our country."

Goldberg gave Brown — who has more than 1.2 million followers on Instagram — some advice of her own, telling the star that people "used to come after women of color and accuse women of color of doing this very thing." She then noted that "we are all just one group of women" ahead of slapping the Hot Topics table as she repeated, "What? What? What?"

Sara Haines, 48, stepped in to criticize Brown as well, expressing that she felt Brown's statement "wraps a woman's worth up in her ovaries in a way that for too long has happened" and pointed Brown toward the fight for gender equality over the years.

"The whole women's movement was not about bucking the trend of staying at home or loving tradition, it was giving women a choice to do what they wanted. And that's what this is, too: Marriage, children, it's a choice," she said. "They act like people are sitting around just saying, 'Yeah, no, I'm good.' Most women I know, and some don't, most women wanted to have children. They don't have them for other children."

"The fact that we keep putting this on women that their only worth in society, politics, policies, is if they produce a baby or have a husband, is the stupidest, most old-fashioned thing. We have come too far," Haines continued, as the audience cheered. "The world has over 8 billion people. We no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies. We have arrived here. Women and girls now have a choice. Let them do that."

Cohost Ana Navarro, 54, asked where Brown's "call to responsibility to the men who help make these children" was. "I don't know why it's always people lecturing women what they have to do or not to do. Bottom line? If you're not paying my bills, you don't get to tell me what I do with my uterus," she added.

Guest panelist Whitney Cummings said she felt that Brown "doesn't even realize how goofy her point was," citing the portion of her speech during which she said that women need courage to get married.

"If your marriage requires courage, I have a lot of questions about your husband," the 43-year-old comedian said.

Goldberg closed the discussion by criticizing Brown's logic once again.

"Be thoughtful before you have a kid. You should be thoughtful before you have a kid," she said. "Perhaps, Isabel, you want to talk to some of those red states about some of their laws about women, because they're not really encouraging women to do anything except flee from them. You're telling people to have as many babies as they want to? Again I'm going to send you back into the past. I want you to look and see how people were treated," she said. "If y'all are Gen Z, you know, this ain't the one."
