Noted Theologian Whoopi Goldberg: If God Didn't Want Me to Have an Abortion He Shouldn't Have Invented Forceps and Intravaginal Vacuums

I'm only covering The View as a kind of celebration of Hot Air getting rid of BulwarkPundit.*

She's so wise. I've seen her play wise people in movies so she must have wisdom to share with me.

After Elizabeth Hasselback -- returning as a guest; seems like old times -- made some comments about the value of human life, Whoopi Goldberg declared that God gave her the power to know which lives had value and which... not so much:

Goldberg then used Hasselbeck's beautiful comments about life and God to make her ghoulish proclamation. "God 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 declared. "No. No," Hasselbeck pushed back.

"Yes. Because I know my relationship, you know, my relationship [with God] is always choppy," Goldberg quipped. "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," she added.

Is she sure she's talking about God? As Nick Fondacaro remarks, she certainly sounds like she's talking about a scalier, more reptilian visitor in the Garden of Eden.

Whoopi Goldeberg then followed Biden's lead and decided to redefine "pro-life" as "pro-abortion."

GOLDBERG: And again, before we go, let me just point out: no one -- no one at this table is not pro-life. Nobody at this table is not pro-life. I just want to make sure we all know that. Nobody is happy about going to get an abortion.

HASSELBECK: That's not pro-life.

* Actually, it's kind of a slow news day, and what I'm really doing is posting just about anything that comes across my transom. Until the news gets more interesting, I'm taking the stance that "it doesn't have to be good, it just has to keep the pixels stuck to the screen."
