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."

Why is it so many people cannot wait to get to hell that they decide to have it now?

Elisabeth LIED.

On April 6th 2005 Elisabeth gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Grace Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces.

She HAS been in a position to consider having an abortion.

SHE CHOSE NOT TO !!!

[I'm ALL Right!]

6 abortions. Sounds like she was using it as birth control instead of, say, abstinence or the pill. I would think that one abortion would be traumatic enough--just knowing she had murdered her own child ought to break her heart in a million pieces. If she had a heart, that is. No reverence for the baby killers--especially those who use murder as a contraceptive.

Some glitch is reposting my above post every time I refresh the page. It is not intentional.

It’s impossible for me and many others “to reverence” brain dead females who willingly murder babies. By the way, the original Latin meaning of the word “fetus,” the word you libs use instead of the correct word “baby,” is “offspring” and “young.” Gosh, that changes a fetus into a live human being, not a piece of tissue to be conveniently discarded by stupid women.

"Manilow, Goldberg, Waxman...I’m beginning to think there is a direct relationship between nostril-size and liberalness"

LOL! I thought it was having a grey mop hairstyle that did it. Phil Donahue, Al Hunt, Chris Dodd come to mind.

At least 6 abortions & she is ok with this? Rosie disgusts me & so does Whoopie.

They're pigs. They live like pigs and talk like pigs. You were right when you said she just doesn't care.

I really don’t know all that much about her except she sure isn’t that good looking. So I went looking. Seems she never got through high school, became a heroin addict & did have one child. I thought this was fitting....Has her own production company, One Ho Productions, which backs most of her movies and television projects that she produces. IMO HO says it all.

Does this mean she turned tricks? Maybe she figures if she calls herself a "ho" then nobody else will?

[pandoraou812]

I have no clue. But to name your company that isn’t cute IMO. I guess if the name fits use it? I don’t understand bragging you have had 6 or & abortions then saying its a hard decision to make. I think she is a moron. If you could do that so many times I think you are a pig & a HO. Who knows what shes done in her life...

Here's the thing I don't get. 1. Hasselbeck's statement amounted to only this concept: it would be good if there were fewer abortions. 2. For some reason, this didn't sit well with Goldberg. 3. As part of her argument, she waxed eloquently about how difficult a choice abortion is, and asserted that "very few women" want to have them. So what was Goldberg's problem with Hasselbeck's statement in the first place?

Elizabeth, while a sweetheart and certainly yummy on the eyes, is not the most brilliant conservative mind we've got. Someone, say, a Clarence Thomas or Alito - aw heck, they're men - OK, Coulter or Peggy Noonan would have ripped up Whoopie's line of thinking and exposed her for the fool she is.

Nah, that wouldn't have happened either. Their brilliant words would have been shouted into obscurity by the illiterate minds of Hollywood.
