In a bizarre twist of modern parenting, a trio of “girl dads” has emerged, polarizing audiences with their push for Vice President Kamala Harris. On one side, comedian Ben Stiller and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff combine forces with the infamous Andy Cohen—often heard screeching into a microphone more than a parent should. However, Cohen’s status as a father leaves much to be desired, given that he “acquired” his children through surrogacy—an arrangement that raises eyebrows among people with an inkling of traditional family values.
The public service announcement masquerading as a video features these three men rallying for Kamala Harris, presenting their votes as pivotal to the futures of their daughters. The messaging can be summed up as: support Kamala so your little girls have the right to terminate their pregnancies at will. Far from innocent, this campaign feels more like a desperate attempt to normalize a culture of abortion than a genuine concern for women’s rights.
Being a girl dad is a gift. It’s also one of the reasons @BenStiller and @Andy are voting for @KamalaHarris. pic.twitter.com/2CIL7ZTYZ2

Cohen, confusingly gushing about Harris’s superiority over the male participants, claims she will be a powerhouse—an assertion that perhaps reflects his personal aspirations more than reality. It’s startlingly clear that a man who purchased children is now playing the role of the advocate, as he envisions a future where his daughters may engage in their reproductive rights as casually as choosing between ice cream flavors. The absurdity of such an outlook is hard to fathom, yet it resonates with a certain demographic: affluent men disconnected from the implications of their ideological stance.
Joining Cohen and Co. is Ella Emhoff, daughter of Doug Emhoff, who carries herself with the swagger of a mob boss in her oversized blazer. Their inseparable bond revolves around the theme of fighting for rights post-Roe, a euphemism for perpetuating the culture of abortion and the notion that women must fundamentally engage in battle for their rights. The implication that this battle is a rite of passage for a generation is certainly misplaced—many candidates for the next generation are gravitating toward a destiny of values more rooted in life than in abortive choices.
As this trio parades their progressive ideals, reality bites back. The tide is turning against the rampant abortion culture, especially among younger Americans increasingly leaning to the right. Could it be that the baby girl, raised in an environment that champions this practice, finds her own footing in the conservative movement? Who knows; stranger things happen, especially when children are raised under principles that contradict their own nature. One can only hope that the irony of raising a future conservative will not go unnoticed by those who promote such radical ideas today.
