Legendary American movie star, Whoopi Goldberg, has said that God supports abortion.
Goldberg made her view known during a heated debated with conservative co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck yesterday on The View, a popular American TV programme.
Goldberg, 66, who is known for her stronghold opinions, didn’t hold back on her religious beliefs, insinuating that God supports abortion because Americans have the right to choose.
“God made us smart enough to know when it wasn’t going to work for us. That’s the beauty of giving us freedom of choice,” Goldberg said.
Hasselbeck, 45, who has returned as the token Republican among the slew of liberal hosts, immediately disagreed, with a flat-out “No.”
Goldberg continued to talk, saying that her “relationship with God is always choppy” which showed Hasselbeck holding back a laugh before informing the controversial co-host that she was God’s “favourite.”
“I also know that God made me smart enough to know that if there are alternatives out there that can work for me, I will investigate them. But I also know God said do unto others as you would have them do unto you [and] I will not make that decision for anybody,” she slammed.
Only moments earlier, Hasselbeck said she believed that women were only getting “half the information” and that the US was failing to provide pregnant women with all the options available to them.
She informed viewers she believes the best option is to “look for the non-profits” that “help you create a birth plan and match you with an adoptive family” rather than choosing an abortion.
“That option’s real,” she lamented. “I think that lives have a precious value on them.”
Goldberg agreed, stating that “God doesn’t make mistakes,” but that choice is important.
Hasselbeck, who left the show three years ago, was finally given her moment to pull out a dish towel she had been hiding under the table, which stated, “I’d agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.”
The newly returned host seemed pleased with herself as she threw the decorative item onto the table.
“I say this with love in my heart,” Goldberg started. “I don’t ever think that I can make any decision for you and your family that you are not smart enough to make for yourself.”
“Just before we go, no one at this table is not pro-life. I just want to make sure we all know that,” she smirked as she insinuated that pro-choice people were not anti-life.
“Nobody is happy about going to get an abortion. That’s not pro-life, it’s not fun.”
As the music played in the background as producer tried to quiet the ladies into an advertisement break, Hasselbeck spoke again, saying, “It’s a hard, hard decision but that life has a plan and a purpose, and there are absolutely agencies out there that will help you keep that baby alive.”
Goldberg insinuated again that “everyone has the right to their options.”
