“The View” co-host Joy Behar says she sees “fascism down the line here” after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion shows it is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
During an episode of the show Tuesday, Behar explained it appeared to her that the justices nominated by former President Donald Trump “felt that there was precedent set, and they would honor the precedent.”
She added, “And now it’s the opposite that’s happening, not that I’m surprised. You and I were talking before, we’re not surprised. We saw this coming.”
“My worry is that this is just the beginning, next they’ll go after gay marriage and maybe Brown versus Board of Education. They already eroded our voting rights a little bit,” Behar continued. “So, I see fascism down the line here.”

Behar’s co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, did not hold back on her response to the leaked draft opinion.
“Everybody wants to tell me what to do! This is my body,” Goldberg said.
She continued, “My doctor, and myself, and my child — that’s who makes the decision .”
Goldberg argued women, “when they decide something is not right for them, they’re going to take it into their own hands,” adding, “We got tired of tripping over women in public bathrooms who were giving themselves abortions because there was nowhere safe, nowhere clean, nowhere to go.”
