On Thursday’s edition of Rosie Radio on XM/Sirius, Rosie O’Donnell discussed talk show host and comedian Chelsea Handler’s recent statement in a New York Times interview that she had an abortion when she was sixteen and still feels she made the right choice. Rosie and her executive producer Janette Barber agreed that it was courageous of Handler both to reveal the abortion and to say she doesn’t regret it.
But when the Rosie crew took a call from woman who had several abortions in her late thirties and early forties and feels guilty about it, Barber really lost it, and compared that guilt to blaming a rape victim’s outfit for rape:
JANETTE BARBER: To me, it’s almost like saying, ‘Yeah, why were you in that alley in short shorts when you got raped?’O’DONNELL: Well, it’s different, because one is preventable and one isn’t, right? If you’re in an alley and you’re raped, you don’t have any control –
BARBER, not budging: But [people will say] ‘ your problem was you shouldn’t have gone in the alley, you shouldn’t have worn that outfit…’
You know it’s bad when Rosie O’Donnell sounds like the voice of reason. She hired this person to call shots for her. A few minutes later, Barber added:
I think if you want an abortion, you get an abortion. If you don’t want to get an abortion, I would never force anyone to get an abortion, but I’d fight to the freakin’ death for somebody’s right to have an abortion. When I was a kid, I thought, ‘If we lose this right, I’m leaving this country.’
I had plans [in the event of pregnancy]…I’m gonna wear a tent dress while I don’t eat so I can get big and I can go in the woods, have it, kill it, and bury it, ’cause I didn’t know how else I would get rid of it if I lost that right. I was pretty young when I had that plan, and I got over it.
This sound of desperation easily might remind readers of the abortionist writing on the Daily Kos a couple of weeks back with his motto: “A woman does not want an abortion like she wants an ice cream cone, a new dress, or a Porsche; she wants an abortion like an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg to escape.”

Disgusting.

Wow speechless.
Steely Tom compares Rosie O’Donnell to toxic shock syndrome.
That much is probably true. The only woman whose abortion I'm aware of did it because her then-fiance and her mother pushed her into it, and she regrets it to this day. It's a shame that there wasn't more support for her, and for all the other women who feel pressured into an abortion.
Rosie O’Donnell Show Compares Post-Abortion Guilt to Blaming Rape Victims...
In related news, The Rosie O’Donnell Show is compared to blowfly larvae and the latter are found to be much less repulsive.
The last thing Rosie has to worry about is ever having an abortion.
Ghouls.
I'll assume she believes that should be legal too.
For someone who hates their own flesh and blood so much they'd kill their child AFTER giving birth, (a professed intent to commit murder), having an abortionist is just getting someone else to do her 'wet work'.
Disgusting is just the beginning.
Thank you for saying that. It doesn’t get said enough.
How about putting that much thought and effort into devising a plan to prevent the pregnancy in the first place?
Yet another reason why I don’t need to subscribe to XM Radio.
To put things in perspective. It's about human rights and the denial from the left that they are inhumane.
I agree. Those women need support both before and after the baby’s birth.
I think if more of them had support in terms of situational assessment and self esteem, there would be fewer poor little kids doused in gasoline and immolated in abandoned cars in the desert by their sicko boyfriends.
Shows that abortion is about a selfish mindset. It is NOT about the woman's body, she'd be spiteful enough to kill the live baby outside of her womb. If the father did it, he'd be up on capital murder charges.
Lesbians don’t get pregnant. Except by artificial means.
Not to worry Rosie, a sex-hungry three-balled dog wouldn’t find you attractive. Did you ever notice that the pro-abortion crowd is always fat, ugly dykes who’ve never had a child, naturally borne by them?
