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."
Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
That ought to qualify her for an award from the Klan.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the thought that there are men out there actually willing to have sex with Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi proves again what a total piece of gutter trash she is.
you know, i don’t know what to say.
"Good news on the teen pregnancy front: Seeing illegitimate births as a real sociological and economic problem, our peerless leader has decided to confront this growing problem head-on. A presidential task force has been formed! Members include MTV President Judy McGrath and actress Whoopi Goldberg, whose six or seven abortions (she's not sure) and an illegitimate daughter who herself has had a baby out of wedlock at age 15 makes her uniquely qualified to serve our nation in this capacity. If this works, you can look forward to a new presidential commission on the family. Word has it that the Menendez brothers and O.J. Simpson have made the short list."
Looks like Whoopi chose life and that illegitimate daughter also chose life.
She's a double whammy - homely both in looks and in spirit.
Whoopi proves again what a total piece of gutter trash she is.
Pretty much so.
I can't believe she would ever have told anyone such a thing, however, the stupidity (and guilt) must eat at her terribly. It's not like there was no birth control available...like in Russia. Says a lot about her IQ and morals.
“...by asking her if she had ever been in a position to abort a child...”
Does this mean “have you EVER been pregnant?”
Certainly Whoopi (not her real name) has the money now that she does not need to abort for financial reasons. Or maybe it is, a pregnancy could keep her from getting those lucrative film roles.
It’s all just a deep seated self-hatred that makes her act and speak the way she does. She wants to make everyone around her as miserable as she says she is.. which she has done a pretty good job of, so far. Babwa Wawa sure seems more out to lunch than ever.. Moove on already Babwa , Go enjoy your wealth and family,,, Like Stossel says,, Give US a BREAK!
Getting a Lewinsky from Whoopi is like tightrope walking. The secret is “don’t look down”.
Black America has yet another role model to celebrate and lower that bar one more notch.....
Letting one out of 7 or 8 live ISN’T choosing life.
This is one of the most twisted arguments I've ever read. People who are pro-life/anti-abortion by definition would not put themselves in a position to abort a child.
I just doesn't make any sense. How can one have a reasonable debate with people like this?
I wonder if Whoopi Goldberg has ever been in a position where she had to be intellectually honest? Or intellectually consistent?
It does boggle the mind. btw, you owe me a keyboard
Abortion is a religious sacrament to the left!
2. How much did she pay this “biographer” to include this in the book?
