On a recent episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg sparred<\/a> with former host Elisabeth Hasselbeck over abortion, with Goldberg \u2014 who has admitted to having multiple abortions \u2014\u00a0choosing to use religion as an excuse to say that it’s acceptable to kill preborn children.<\/p>\n

Hasselbeck began by pointing out there are other options for women besides just abortion, with countless organizations ready and willing to help pregnant women and their children, often at no cost. “I might not change your minds, but I hope women out there know to look for the nonprofits, look for the agencies that help you create a birth plan and match you with an adoptive family who may have suffered miscarriage after miscarriage who want to care for the baby,” she said. “So, that option is real and it\u2019s out there. And I don’t believe they’re giving women half the information out there. And I think those lives have a precious value on them.”<\/p>\n

She then added, \u201cI personally believe… our creator assigns value to life and that those lives have plan and purpose over them as designed by God that are not limited to the circumstances of conception, nor the situations they’re born into.”<\/p>\n

Goldberg took those comments \u2014 that our lives are created by God Himself \u2014 and twisted them into pro-abortion propaganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod doesn’t make mistakes. 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,” she said. “Yes. Because I know my relationship, you know, my relationship [with God] is always choppy. It’s always choppy. With God, always. Because I have a lot of questions. … 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. God said, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I will not make that decision for anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
