Listening to the cackling women of “The View” attempt to explain the pro-life movement is like watching my obese bulldog trying to teach an exercise class. It’s confusing and just doesn’t work.
The hosts discussed the March for Life (which probably wouldn’t even be a topic right now if President Trump didn’t bring it up), and it was actually painful to watch. The entire time, Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts attempted to justify their pro-choice stance by criticizing labels. You see– one can actually be pro-life and pro-choice at the same time. No one is actually pro-abortion. That would just be like, barbaric.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: We have children.[to crowd] Anybody out here not for life?
JOY BEHAR: We’re all for life.
WHOOPI: So maybe we should stop talking about being pro-life, or anti-life because nobody is not for life.
SARA HAINES: Or pro-abortion. Because nobody is pro-abortion.
WHOOPI: We are pro-choice. That’s a difference.
What’s the difference? If you’re pro-choice, you believe a woman has the right to end the life of another person residing inside of her. Even if you wouldn’t personally do it, you support the other woman making the conscious “choice” to murder her offspring. That doesn’t make you pro-life. It’s as silly as me saying, “I wouldn’t personally murder my annoying neighbor, but I’m not going to tell other people they shouldn’t murder their annoying neighbors.”
The conversation continued, and Behar decided that one can be pro-choice and pro-life at the same time.
“Sunny, are you pro-choice? Because you can be pro-life and pro-choice,” Behar asked.
“I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive,” Hostin replied. “[P]ro-life is not a dirty word. You know, being pro-life is not a dirty word. You can’t define for me what pro-life is, just like I can’t define for you what feminism is.”
“As I said, we are all pro-life. I don’t think anyone is anti-life. I’m not defining anything for you,” Goldberg said.
HA HA HA. They’re all “pro-life.” Unless of course the situation involves a mother not wanting her unborn child.
“But, and I will tell you that 54% of Catholics believe that abortion should be legal,” Hostin said. “And that’s why and Catholics by the way participate in this March for life overwhelming. There are about 300,000 marchers. Many of them are from Catholic universities. I went to Notre Dame. So I have a lot of friends that attend this March every single year. So my point has been all along is that you can’t define the pro-life movement by the fringe that you see. People that are killing abortion doctors. People who are extremists.”
Oh, Hostin. Did you not hear Goldberg? SHE IS PRO-LIFE TOO DAMMIT.
“What I’m saying is I’m also pro-life. I don’t like being having people define the fact that I think having a choice is a good thing,” Goldberg said. “It doesn’t make me less of a pro-life person. No one is debating that.”
I am. That’s why I’ll continue to use pro-choice and pro-abortion interchangeably. You’re either OK with a woman murdering her offspring, or you’re not.
I’m not particularly sure why pro-choice people are so offended by the term “pro-abortion” anyway. I thought abortion was great! I mean, if it’s REALLY not a baby and REALLY not a big deal whatsoever, why aren’t they willing to proudly stand by the term? If abortion isn’t bad and just another day at the spa, why are they ashamed to associate themselves with the term?
