The View guest co-host Ana Navarro defended her comments about abortion and special needs children that sparked an outcry.
During a Friday appearance on CNN, Navarro mentioned her family consists of members with special needs.
“I have a family with a lot of special needs kids. I have a brother who’s 57 and has the mental and motor skills of a one-year-old. And I know what that means financially, emotionally, physically for a family,” she said, adding, “I have a step-granddaughter who was born with Down Syndrome. And you know what? It is very difficult in Florida to get services. It is not as easy as it sounds on paper. And I’ve got another, I’ve got a step-grandson who is very autistic, who has autism.”
Navarro went on to say “their mothers and people who are in that society, who are in that community will tell you that they considered suicide because that’s how difficult it is to get help. Because that’s how lonely they feel. Because they can’t get other jobs, because they have financial issues, because the care that they’re able to give their other children suffers.”
Navarro came under fire for the remarks including from CNN commentator S.E. Cupp.
On Monday’s The View, Navarro doubled down on her remarks.
This is a difficult conversation, and I know some people feel that we shouldn’t be talking about social services. We shouldn’t be talking about special needs families, that we shouldn’t be talking about adoption and foster care and those special services that are needed in this same conversation, I disagree. Because I think it is hypocritical and wrong to ban a family from making their own choice about what’s best for them.
Doesn’t mean that you don’t love your special needs family members, that you don’t adore them and they are part of the family, but that we know from firsthand experience just how difficult it is to beg and plead for years sometimes to get some help. So if they’re going to ban a family’s choice, there’s going to be more poor kids. [There’s] going to be more kids in adoption. There’s going to be more kids in foster care. There’s going to be more abused kids. There’s going to be a lot of other things, and those hypocritical states need to step up and provide the services.
Watch above, via ABC.
...I'm wondering if the DNC sent out a memo saying "you don't have to hide it anymore...let the mask fall away and go full eugenics and infanticide."
They are death cult monsters.
Maybe Navarro needs to late abort zirself....
We have two adopted sons with multiple special needs: autism, bipolar, mitochondrial disorders, missing organs, brain deformities.
It is difficult to get services. I think we will finally get some help with the second one by the time I’m 76.
But I wouldn’t consider killing a child because it’s difficult.
The only time Hitler backed down due to public opinion was when his Action T4 eugenics program was exposed in 1940. The public outcry was so loud that the program was curtailed.
No, maybe her family needs to step up to the plate. While there are many poor families saddled with caretaking responsibilities, there are many more who aren’t willing to live more humbly or go without the latest electronics to provide for their family members. It is a rare person who is willing to drive a beater and give up TV and internet and going out to eat to provide something their elderly or ill family members need. The government needs to quit doing things that destroy families and communities and turns people into selfish little whiners who run to the government first when they have a problem, rather than consider giving up that $60,000 truck purchase, going without a gym membership, trips to the beautician, or settling for ham and beans.

I see the woman is labeled as not a human. An argument could be made.
Sick, sick people.
If you go to China, you will not see a single Down Syndrome or physically handicapped / person with birth defects.
They are aborted - or killed immediately after birth.
Humanity deserves God’s wrath for this alone. Its only by His Grace we have survived this long.
Eugenics was “follow the science” stuff in American universities in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Once Darwin’s theory of evolution took hold on campuses, the “progressives” of the day concluded that human evolution needed a little bit of tinkering to improve the species.
“Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”
It isn’t the disabled person who causes the problem, it is the attitudes of the self-centered able.
That’s the problem with that kind of argument. If we must permit third trimester abortions, why not fourth trimester abortions?
God bless you, FRiend.
Wonder how her step-daughters like those opinions. Right out of Hitler’s playbook.
The rational choice is to sterilize everyone genetically and socially connected to her.
Wow, so many nutzlose Esser in her immediate family! If only der Führer knew about this!

Regards,
Thanks for your post, piasa, pointing out how the addiction to comfort and wealth comes before children for so many. Previous generations didn’t have dirt, would have child after child, and would willingly sacrifice for those children. Yet they seemed much happier than today’s conscience-burdened, narcissistic, neurotic self and wealth-seekers.
I’ve had a couple of periods of years where I’ve struggled financially. Kept up an old car, clipped coupons, looked for bargains, did without newer clothes and eating out, had humbler meals and it didn’t really make me unhappier because I try to live more for Heaven than earth.
Rush Limbaugh called them feminazis for a reason.
