(TruthAndLiberty.com) – On a recent episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg addressed the topic of abortion, stating that it is not mentioned in the Ten Commandments, particularly in the context of “Thou shalt not kill.” The discussion arose following former President Trump’s expression of his stance on abortion via social media, where he voiced support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and advocated for states to set their own abortion policies with certain exceptions.
Goldberg emphasized the personal nature of the decision to have an abortion, asserting that she would support individuals who feel it is necessary for them, highlighting the importance of individual circumstances and choices in such matters.
She humorously exaggerated the gestation period to underline that the decision about abortion is a private matter between a person, their doctor, and their faith, and not dictated by religious commandments. This was part of a broader conversation about the complexities surrounding the issue, including the considerations of when and how “Thou shalt not kill” applies, given societal acceptances like war and the death penalty.
Sunny Hostin, another co-host, shared her personal opposition to abortion but acknowledged the need for nuanced policy discussions, pointing out contradictions in societal norms such as the acceptance of the death penalty and gun ownership.
During the discussion, Trump’s view that abortion regulation should be left to the states was mentioned, with him noting that states should make laws reflective of their populace’s will.
Joy Behar then shifted the conversation to the potential impact of state-specific abortion laws on women’s mobility, suggesting that restrictive states might see women traveling to more permissive ones for abortion services, paralleling concerns about immigration and the movement of people between states. Sara Haines chimed in to clarify Behar’s point, highlighting the financial barriers that might prevent women from traveling for abortion services.
