The marching, the protests, the shrill screaming outside the U.S. Supreme Court, and the assassination nation attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh are not being done by those who are pro-abortion because according to The View’s Sara Haines on Monday’s show, “nobody’s pro-abortion” and “everyone is pro-life.”
This ridiculous argument was sparked by comments Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz made at a Turning Point USA event over the weekend where he said: “Like, why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.” He also called the pro-abortion rallies “pro-murder rallies.”
After playing the soundbite of Gaetz, Haines immediately took to decrying how he hasn’t been canceled because of the so-far-empty sexual misconduct allegations against him. “He’s also currently under a DOJ investigation for sex trafficking a 17-year-old, yet he still has speaking gigs. Like, we've seen people do so much less that can't do crap and this guy is still running around like nothing's happening,” she whined.
Haines went on to gripe that Gaetz’s comments “really leave no room for any intellectual conversation.”
So, it’s a perfect conversation for The View.
“Nobody's pro-abortion, and, like, everyone is pro-life,” she ludicrously proclaimed. She then suggested that those who call themselves pro-life are okay with killing the mother to protect a “clump of cells.”
“It's that some people decide to eliminate the life of the mother altogether. The viable existing human, we're just not going to attend to, but the clump of cells – and we can all debate when that starts – is going to be defended at all costs,” she raged.
If “nobody’s pro-abortion,” then what would Haines call the pearl-clutching over the lack or minimal of clinics in certain states? How does she explain the “shout your abortion” movement? And if the real pro-life side was for allowing the mother to die, as she suggested, why do they operate crisis pregnancy centers and other charities that support the mother during the pregnancy and afterward?
Haines doesn’t have an answer because she relies on caricatures of her opponents to scare and gaslight her viewers.
And in another example of playing games with labels, she took issue with Gaetz calling her side “pro-murder.” “Pro-murder, no one that does this would think it is murder, just to clarify his language,” she huffed.
Of course, “no one who does this” wants to be thought of as a murderer. But what they’re going is taking a life, like a specialized hitman sought out to do a job.
At the end of the segment, Haines was forced to read a “legal note” by ABC’s Standards and Practices admitting Gaetz is not facing charges. “Real quick legal note, Congressman Matt Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing,” she reluctantly said.
But it was upended by co-host Whoopi Goldberg who exclaimed: “Yeah, but you're a liar, sir! We’ll be right back.”
These lies about the abortion debate were made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ensure and 4imprint. Their contact information is linked.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Another low light from the Turn
It is anything but pro-life to call a developing baby that has a beating heart and a functioning brain a “clump of cells”.
Was Whoopi Goldberg aborted as a baby????
She sure looks aborted....
If you go and get an abortion you certainly are ‘pro’ because you chose it and did it.
Also, any doctor who performs one is the same. Chose it, making a good living from it. I don’t care about the ‘it’s unfortunate, or ‘somebodies gotta do it’ attitude if you were not for it you would never do it.
Maybe everyone is prolife, as they choose to define it, but most of us aren’t pro-murder.
Only her brain was aborted.
If a woman chooses to keep her child, has she not made a choice?
There is pro-life or pro-abortion. There are no gray areas.
There is no need for rebuttal when the truth is spoken.
Gaetz really kicked the hornet’s nest. He will take the news cycle for a day or two.
Her saying we are all pro-life is as transgression as those who said all lives matter.
And wasn’t it shown that the allegations against Goetz were part of an extortion scheme... about 6 months ago?
Horrible people.
It’s funny how all the people who are complaining about abortion have already been born.
Science says a human life begins at conception.
It would be hypocritical to say I am “Pro-Life” because I am in whole-heartedly in favor of capital punishment, use of lethal force (when necessary) to preserve human life and, under certain circumstances, waging war without mercy. There is an obvious disconnect between those sentiments and “Pro-Lifeishness” and whomever set up that false dichotomy was an idiot.
I’m just opposed to murdering the unborn without compellingly extenuating circumstances. But don’t even call me “Pro-Life.”
I guess “Shout My Abortion” isn’t a thing...
That was a line used by President Ronald Reagan
