Tavia continued, “Affirming motherhood and praising your wife, as well as highlighting the sacrifice and dedication it takes to be a mother, is not bigoted. It is empowering to acknowledge that a woman’s hard work in raising children is not in vain. Countless highly educated women devote their lives to nurturing and guiding their children. Someone disagreeing with you doesn’t make them hateful; it simply means they have a different opinion.”
Tavia, who did not mention Harrison by name, encouraged people to “celebrate families, motherhood and fatherhood.”
“Our society desperately needs dedicated men and women to raise up and train the next generation in the way they should go,” she wrote. “We need more dialogue (and VALUES, IMO) in this country and less hate.”
Gracie shared her thoughts on Harrison’s speech May 17. “I’ve had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up,” she said on Fox News’ Fox & Friends. “And I understand that there are many women out there who can’t make that decision. But for me and my life, I know it was really formative and in shaping me and my siblings into who we are.”
