First Barry Manilow, Now Whoopi Goldberg Hassle The View's Hasselbeck over Conservative/Pro-Life Views Goldberg, who is said to have had at least 6 abortions, says, "Americans ought to 'revere' women, who have had abortions
By Peter J. Smith NEW YORK, October 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Once again the pro-life views of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the only conservative woman on ABC's "The View," have landed her in trouble after a heated exchange with Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell's replacement, on Wednesday's program edition.
Hasselbeck noted her opinion that presidential Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's proposal to give $5,000 for a new birth could help reduce abortions in the United States.
"I feel like this could maybe cause less abortions in the world. You know, people would keep having kids instead."
Goldberg then took the opportunity to attack Hasselbeck's pro-life views by asking her if she had ever been in a position to abort a child. Hasselbeck responded "never."
Goldberg then said, "Okay, then back off a little bit. Back off a little bit. Very few people want to have abortions." Goldberg's "very few people", however, have aborted nearly 50 million children since Roe v. Wade legalized it in 1973. According to one Goldberg biographer, Goldberg has had at least 6 abortions and used to joke perversely that she had a do-it-yourself coathanger abortion at 14 years-old.
Goldberg then lectured Hasselbeck that Americans ought to "revere" women, who have had abortions.
"It is the hardest decision that a woman ever- wait- ever has to make. So, when you talk about it, a little bit of reverence to the women out there who have had to make this horrible decision," Goldberg continued. Goldberg then repeated the standard pro-abortion harangue that Roe was meant to make abortion "safe" and "clean," because women were dying from coathanger abortions.
Hasselbeck, unfortunately being the only pro-life and conservative out of the four women on The View, has been repeatedly castigated for her opinion, most notably by fired "View" co-host Rosie O'Donnell. Earlier in September, Barry Manilow had refused to appear on ABC's "The View," because the show's producers refused to remove Hasselbeck from the segment.
Manilow called Hasselbeck "dangerous" and "offensive" for her "views" and said that while he was "a big supporter of the show," he was canceling his appearance because he felt "I cannot compromise my beliefs."
You nailed that one.
i hear you... my thought is, if there is nothing wrong with abortion, why is it so horrible? pro-aborts are always saying that the unborn is not a life... so then why is Whoopi talking like abortion is horrible? they want it both ways... if she's had at least six, i would say that it's not been a hard decision for her... it's been her method of birth control... she's disgusting...
Not only is Goldberg intellectually dishonest, she’s a bigot toward the helpless ones who happen to reside in the womb. She wants to deny them their civil rights, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and the right to an attorney. Whoopi’s a Nazi of the worst kind.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

LD - I was thinking about a long line of women behind me, some of whom I was fortunate enough to know and still remember after all these years, when I made that post. The love they lived resonates today in me, my wife, and my children. Let it live forever.
Goldberg is such an ignorant negro. She fails to understand or comprehend that Margaret Sanger, the patron saint and founder of Planned Parenthood, was a eugenicist with Nazi leanings, whose goal was to cull the black population via abortion.
If Goldberg were half as intelligent as she seems to think she is, she would recognize the bigotry of abortion and condemn the fact that blacks proportionally have the greatest number of abortions in America.
But nooooo she thinks she should be ‘revered’ along with the rest of her baby-murdering sisters.
ping
Murderer!
Nappy head ho.
Whoopi wants women who have abortions revered....
- you mean kind of like a Mothers’ Day, but in reverse?
or
- oops, so sorry there’s nobody left alive to revere you.
Hasslebeck IS just the token conservative. She rarely gets to get her point across before she is shouted down by the rest of those miserable old liberal hags.
that other old hag, the one who things she's a comedian, rarely if ever has anything intelligent to say, she just keeps trying to make jokes which nobody gets. Once in a while she shocks viewer with her total lack of moral ethics.
Bawbwa Wahwahs only shows up once in a while these days, I guess days where she doesn't drift off into decades past when she had a date are getting rare.
Hasslebeck is there just to look good, otherwise no man at all would even watch the show. She also controls the timing of the show, acts more like a director than a host. The others are just too stupid to do anything else but cluck like old hens.
Woopie is still new, she's controling herself so far. It's only a matter of time before she reverts to her real self, which is a loud mouthed, bitter, far left moonbat like Rosie.
Accessory to murder makes one worthy of being revered?
I never got that. Ted Danson has always been a good looking and fairly talented guy. How did he end up with her?
If those 6 abortions are from Ted Danson then she did us all a favor.
I guess her mom let her down.
Oh my. (is that the only group, or just the first one that comes to mind?) You are quick.
