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."

I can’t believe Barry Manilow’s opinion on anything counts for anything, frankly.

[Labyrinthos]

It is the hardest decision that a woman ever- wait- ever has to make.

So, as long as I think about the person who I am about to kill for a couple hours before I actually do it, then I'm going to walk?

[Lizavetta]

Goldberg has had at least 6 abortions

Proof positive that you can drink someone attractive.

“Manilow called Hasselbeck “dangerous” and “offensive” for her “views””

I don’t know if it’s true,but I heard Barry Manilow was aborted at birth !!!

"Man"ilow and fellow homosexual "Rod" Stewart

“Americans ought to ‘revere’ women, who have had abortions”

We will, about the time we start to revere OJ.

To revere something that God condemns (murder) would only set one up for some pretty hefty judgment!

[knarf]

Well, this is a bit of data I never knew.

There is a SciFi commercial of a man standing in front of a mirror, and noticing a hair out of place on his head, he pulls it as if to pull it out.

The hair actually comes out as a thread, and he keeps pulling, two handed, and the 'cam' pulls back and we see the man unravelling from the feet up.

Too bad the last innocent child Goldburg murdered couldn't have held on and pulled the bitch inside out into nothingness.

[Paperdoll]

ABC didn’t hire Elizabeth H. to keep her mouth shut. And as a Christian, she must speak her principled opinion, for to avoid doing that would signify concurrence.

[longtermmemmory]

This is about “Jamming” any outlet for conservative views.

Object over ANY and ALL conservatives so they never get a chance to speak.

[ridesthemiles]

What did you all expect from Whoopi???
If she went any further left, she would fall off the planet.

[RichInOC]

Reminds me of an item from Chevy Chase’s “Weekend Update” segment from the “Saturday Night Live” cast album, where he reports on Governor George Wallace saying that he didn’t judge a man by the color of his skin, he judged him by the size of his nostrils.

[ktscarlett66]

Well, she does have a daughter. And grandchildren.

I’ll reserve judgement on six abortions since ‘it’s been said that she’s had...’ and I don’t know who’s doing the saying or on what basis. That sounds kind of like the National Enquirer’s ‘unnamed sources’. I can’t take that kind of report seriously.

[puroresu]

Barry “manliness-is-low” Manilow

LOL!

[pray4liberty]

Too bad the last innocent child Goldburg murdered couldn't have held on and pulled the bitch inside out into nothingness..

In Hell, it's going to be worse for her...let's say she gets to experience what it's like to be aborted, torn apart, time and time again for all eternity.

I can only liken it to feeling your whole being going up in pain, while the Devil laughs.

I pray she, and other "pro-choice" 'Christians' repent sometime...I wouldn't want an eternal future like that for anybody.

[knuthom]

It’s only a hard decision if you know it is a child. If it is not a child, what’s the big deal?

[RichInOC]

Must have worked with Ted Danson. Granted, it made him do some really stupid stuff in addition.

[George from New England]

Elizabeth gets a pay check. No amount is enough for the personally attacking she’s suffering.

I can hear it now, Saint Elizabeth. Her reward is not in this life and she knows it.

[peteram]

Six abortions?!?

I personally know someone who has had four earlier in her life, and she is an emotional basket case today.

Whoopie is either very cold or very much BS-ing.
