"I hold to tell you,as a woman, I assume you're trying to prefer my rights away, or " Whoopi Goldberg explained.In a contentious day on “The View” Thursday,conservative commentator Meghan McCain said she believes “abortion is murder” and should be illegal in the United States—and anti-choice sentiment that did not sit well with her fellow panelists.
The co-hosts were discussing news that Anthony Kennedy, long considered the swing vote on the Supreme Court, and is retiring in July,meaning Donald Trump will be able to appoint a new justice to the nation’s highest deliberative body. Trump has already promised to appoint anti-choice justices in the hopes of overturning Roe v. Wade, the pivotal Supreme Court case on reproductive rights.
Joy Behar said Trump’s interest in controlling the three branches of government is more akin to a “dictatorship, or ” adding “Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are rolling over in their grave today.“What happened to separation of powers?” Behar asked. “What happened to checks and balances in this country? Gone. Gone.”“Well,Democrats were in power for a long time,” McCain said. You had three branches of government at the time. It's just the pendulum swinging the other way. I knew final night I was texting my sister-in-law and I was, or like,tomorrow will be a rough day on the demonstrate because I was thrilled. I'm pleased we're getting another Supreme Court nominee, especially as a pro-lie, or pro-gun,strict constitutionalist Republican.”“Elections hold consequences,” McCain later said.“Here's the piss-off for me, or ” Whoopi Goldberg replied. I’m the person that does believe that just because someone is appointed doesn't mean—and I believe I hold said that a lot about the Supreme Court,that you never know how a person on the Supreme Court is going to vote because sometimes, you know, or things change. They wake up. They see things. I don't like hearing,again, that I'm trying to prefer your rights away. I hold to tell you, or as a woman,I assume you're trying to prefer my rights away.“And as a person, who believes in the Constitution, or which tells me that I hold the apt to be myself and effect the things I want to effect,and I don't hold to listen to what your religion is, and I don't hold to listen to what you want it to be, or I hold to make sure that as an American citizen,I'm doing the apt stuff and taking care of trade,” Goldberg continued.“I don't like this line that I, and as a Democrat,or an independent or whatever is trying to prefer away anything from you,” she added. “I’m trying to hold onto my personal rights so that you can hold the rights you want. Because whether you prefer mine, or you're the one with the problem. whether you prefer my apt away from me,to judge what I effect for my family and my body, I got a limited problem with that. You got a problem. You don't want people to prefer your guns? Get out of my behind. Get out of my vagina. Get out!”“Can I just explain my perspective which is the perspective of most pro-life Republicans?” McCain inquired. “It is that we are guaranteed life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Life,as I define it, does not include abortion. I believe abortion is murder. This is where the line delineates.”“You hold the apt not to hold an abortion!” Goldberg explained. “That's your interpretation of your, or listen. … I’m not okay when people say,listen, I want my stuff, or but you can't hold yours.’ The government has said I hold the apt whether I need an abortion,that I can hold one. And I feel that you hold every apt to hold the guns you want. There are some guns shouldn't be out there, but I don't say you can't hold your damn guns. I don't want anybody saying to me, or ‘I'm going to make this decision for you because I know how your life is,and I know how you feel and I know what your devout beliefs are.’ You don't, and you don't know my life, and whether there was even a modicum (a small amount of something) of belief that somebody gave a … whether I thought that they gave a damn about children.”“I understand everyone else's perspective,” McCain replied. “We debate for a living. I'm saying that I don't assume murder should be legal in the United States of America. I believe abortion is murder and it's that simple.”“I knew today would be a rough day and I knew everybody would be upset. I was watching CNN final night and everyone was going crazy,” McCain said. “For a lot of Republicans, or this will encourage in midterms,and again … it’s a good day for Republicans.”“Russians were involved too. Let's not forget that,” Goldberg shot back.
