Pro-abortioners aren’t behind the marching and protests outside the U.S. Supreme Court as well as the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The View’s Sara Haines on Monday’s show, “nobody’s pro-abortion” and “everyone is pro-life.”
This ridiculous argument was sparked by comments Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz made at a Turning Point USA event over the weekend where he said: “Like, why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.” He also called the pro-abortion rallies “pro-murder rallies.”
After playing the soundbite of Gaetz, Haines immediately took to decrying how he hasn’t been canceled because of the so-far-empty sexual misconduct allegations against him. “He’s also currently under a DOJ investigation for sex trafficking a 17-year-old, yet he still has speaking gigs. Like, we’ve seen people do so much less that can’t do crap and this guy is still running around like nothing’s happening,” she whined.
Haines went on to gripe that Gaetz’s comments “really leave no room for any intellectual conversation.”
So, it’s a perfect conversation for The View.
“Nobody’s pro-abortion, and, like, everyone is pro-life,”She exclaimed in a ridiculous manner. Then she suggested that pro-lifers are fine with her suggestion. Protecting a baby by killing her mother “clump of cells.”
“It’s that some people decide to eliminate the life of the mother altogether. The viable existing human, we’re just not going to attend to, but the clump of cells – and we can all debate when that starts – is going to be defended at all costs,”She was furious.
If “nobody’s pro-abortion,” then what would Haines call the pearl-clutching over the lack or minimal of clinics in certain states? How does she explain the “shout your abortion” movement? If the true pro-life side is for the death of the mother, she suggests, then why are they operating crisis pregnancy centers or other charitable organizations that provide support to the mother throughout the pregnancy?
Haines doesn’t have an answer because she relies on caricatures of her opponents to scare and gaslight her viewers.
And in another example of playing games with labels, she took issue with Gaetz calling her side “pro-murder.” “Pro-murder, no one that does this would think it is murder, just to clarify his language,”She huffed.
Of course, “no one who does this” wants to be thought of as a murderer. But what they’re going is taking a life, like a specialized hitman sought out to do a job.
At the end of the segment, Haines was forced to read a “legal note” by ABC’s Standards and Practices admitting Gaetz is not facing charges. “Real quick legal note, Congressman Matt Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing,” she reluctantly said.
It was interrupted by Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of the show. She exclaimed: “Yeah, but you’re a liar, sir! We’ll be right back.”

ABC’s The View
July 25, 2022
Eastern, 11:16:10WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Another low light from the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit was when Congressman Matt Gaetz – yeah – took the stage to weigh in on the battle for reproductive rights in America. Evidently, Matt Gaetz knows quite a bit about this topic. This clip is for you.
[Cuts to video]
REP. MAT GAETZ (R.FL): Do you remember these pro abortion, pro murder rallies? It is just shocking. It is just disgusting that women who are least likely to get pregnant are also the most concerned about abortions. No one wants to get pregnant if they think you’re a thumb. [Transition]The legal reasoning behind roe or wade is weaker for your ankles than it was for you. They need to start marching. You need to march at least an hour per day. Swing your arms. You need to get the blood pumping. Mix in some salad.
[Cuts back to live]
GOLDBERG Okay? [Applause]Do you have an answer?
SARA HAINES: He’s also currently under a DOJ investigation for sex trafficking a 17-year-old, yet he still has speaking gigs. This guy still runs around running like nothing is happening. We have seen so many people who can do less than this.
However, comments such as he made are so demeaning that there is no space for intellectual discussion. But someone needs to remind him that nobody is pro-abortion and everyone supports life. Some people choose to take away the mother’s life. The viable existing human, we’re just not going to attend to, but the clump of cells – and we can all debate when that starts – is going to be defended at all costs.
And pro-abortion – pro-murder, no one that does this would think it is murder, just to clarify his language.
He must also realize that most pro-choice people aren’t fighting for their rights. For example, I do not believe in pro-choice simply because something is going to happen to my life and that I will get pregnant. I also support those individuals. We are all concerned for people who do not have a voice. They lack the power to make their voices heard. They are in need of power. They require a platform.
He showed us all the policies he believed in and let us know how they would affect him.

HAINES – A quick note: Congressman Matt Gaetz is not being charged with any criminal offenses and denies any wrongdoing.
GOLDBERG : Yes, you are a lie, sir. We’ll be right back.
