“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg went into a full-blown triggered rage Tuesday after the Supreme Court draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked, ranting about people “tripping over women” giving themselves abortions in public restrooms.
“This is not the first time, but I will tell you this is my body, and nobody — you know, you got people telling me that I have to wear a mask or don’t wear a mask or do this, everybody wants to tell me what to do — but you won’t let me make my decision about my body,” she railed in a pro-choice screed.
“You are not the person to make that decision. My doctor, myself, my child, that’s who makes the decision,” Goldberg confusingly declared.
That was when she plunged into a diatribe against the Supreme Court by recounting how women were forced to resort to illegal or self-induced abortions prior to Roe v. Wade where the wholesale murdering of the unborn was legalized.
“Women in this country lived forever with it being illegal, okay? Women, when they decide something is not right for them, they’re going to take it into their own hands. We got tired of tripping over women in bathrooms, public bathrooms, who were giving themselves abortions because there was nowhere safe, nowhere clean, nowhere to go,” she dramatically and disingenuously intoned.
“This law came about because people wanted people to have somewhere safe and somewhere clean. It has not to do with your religion. This is not a religious issue, this is a human issue. If you care about me as a human being, you should know three things,” Goldberg went on, not mentioning once about caring for the unborn as a human being.
“It’s not something people do lightly. It’s not something that you can just do,” she pointed out alluding to the difficult decision of getting an abortion.
“It is a hard, awful decision that people make,” she adamantly stated. “And if you don’t have the wherewithal to understand that, to start this conversation with, ‘I know how hard this must be for you.’ If you’re starting it by telling me I’m going to burn in hell, you’re not looking out for me as a human being, whether I subscribe to your religion or not, and that is not ok!”
Goldberg has previously stated that she got an abortion as a teenager. In an essay for Angela Bonavoglia’s “The Choices We Made,” she wrote about getting pregnant at 14, according to People.
“I talked to nobody. I panicked. I sat in hot baths. I drank these strange concoctions girls told me about – something like Johnny Walker Red with a little bit of Clorox, alcohol, baking soda (which probably saved my stomach), and some sort of cream. You mixed it all up. I got violently ill. At that moment I was more afraid of having to explain to anybody what was wrong than of going to the park with a hanger, which is what I did,” she horrifically confessed.
The draft opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked to PoliticoMonday night by an unnamed source.
The Supreme Court is on the brink of striking down the landmark 1973 decision guaranteeing federal protections of abortion rights. If that occurs, the decision on whether to legalize abortion or not will be handed back to the individual states.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he wrote in the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
According to The Hill, Chief Justice John Roberts verified on Tuesday that the draft was authentic but said that the opinion “does not represent the final position of any member on the issues in the case.”
The final decision is reportedly set to be handed down in June.
