On the December 13 episode of “The View,” which has had a history of co-hosts promoting abortion<\/a>, Whoopi Goldberg likened abortion to school districts being able to celebrate Christmas. As Katie Yoder reported for Newsbusters<\/a>, with\u00a0relevant transcripts, Goldberg’s mention seemingly came out of nowhere.<\/p>\n

Goldberg’s advocating for abortion came up after co-host Joy Behar<\/a>, who is also pro-abortion, argued that “separation of church and state must be adhered to in a public school.” Here’s how Goldberg responded:<\/p>\n

But it’s the same conversation with a woman’s right to choose. What I do with my body is my right. It is not your right to tell me. The same thing is it\u2019s \u2013\u00a0if you believe in Christmas, it’s not my right \u2013\u00a0you know, I grew up and \u2013\u00a0and, you know, kids who didn’t go to Catholic school had Christmas and they \u2013\u00a0we never knew what their religions were, but we hung cause it was Christmas holiday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christmas is, of course, an on topic discussion for this time of year, but the holiday has no relation to abortion. Goldberg\u00a0did not need to turn to the obsession “The View” hosts — including and especially herself — have with abortion.<\/p>\n
