Co-host of âThe Viewâ and actress Whoopi Goldberg suggested women are forced to carry a âtoxic thingâ after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
During an interview on âThe Chris Cuomo Projectâ podcast Tuesday, Goldberg commented on her critics.
âPeople make their decisions about why they hate your guts. People hate my guts â they say, âYouâre always talking about the negative aspect of stuff,'â Goldberg said.
She continued, âWell you know, I think it is negative that you changed a law thatâs 50 years old that you didnât do enough homework about to see what the consequences were gonna be for women.â
Goldberg argued not just âBlack women, or Asian women or Hispanic women â just women in general. You changed the law without even saying, without even having the information of what that means for someone who has a difficulty in the pregnancy that requires that they not keep this toxic thing in.â
She added, âAnd you think because thereâs a heartbeat, you think thereâs a heartbeat, youâre not thinking about, âIs the child viable? Does the child have a brain and hands and arms.ââ
Goldberg suggested pro-life advocates are not âthinking about how did this little girl get pregnant. Youâve made no space.â
According to the actress, âThe fact that you didnât even have the courtesy to sit down with a doctor and say, âWhat are the various things that this entails?â Now weâre trying to figure out what to do.â
Watch Goldbergâs comments below:
Goldberg was quick to voice her opinion on Abortion after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion showed most Supreme Court justices were expected to overturn Roe v. Wade.
âGetting an Abortion is not easy, making that decision is not easy. Itâs not something people do lightly! Itâs not something you can just do! It is a hard, awful decision that people make,â Goldberg said at the time.
Additionally, she argued if viewers âdonât have the wherewithal to understand that, to start this conversation with, âI know how hard this must be for you,â if youâre starting it by telling me Iâm going to burn in hell, then youâre not looking out for me as a human being, whether I subscribe to your religion or not. And that is not OK.â
