(MRCTV) – Mattel just unveiled its newest Barbie doll: a doll with Down syndrome. Amid the news, numerous conservative figures have provided their take on the inclusive doll with some argued it was "woke" others called it "pro-life."
Mattel’s global head of Barbie and Dolls Lisa McKnight said that the new design “continues to expand on inclusion in doll play.”

Now there’s a couple of things to note. For starters, it’s great that Mattel is being inclusive enough to incorporate a doll with a disability that many young Barbie lovers have. If this doll makes children with Down syndrome feel like they’re seen more than that’s great! Second, the doll shares a pretty big pro-life message. In a world that encourages the murder of innocent children, especially those who have genetic disabilities like Down syndrome, Mattel’s promotion of these challenges shows that their lives matter, too.
