On TheView, Whoopi Goldberg delivered an impassioned speech about the 'human issue' of abortion a day after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion suggested Roe v. Wade could soon be overturned:

She continued, her voice rising as she appeared to get more and more upset as she stressed the difficulty of deciding to have an abortion, “Getting an abortion is not easy, making that decision is not easy. It’s not something people do lightly! It’s not something you can just do! It is a hard, awful decision that people make.

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, then you’re not looking out for me as a human being, whether I subscribe to your religion or not. And that is not OK.”“I found out I was pregnant when I was 14,” she wrote. “I didn’t get a period. I talked to nobody. I panicked. I sat in hot baths.

It’s not a religious, it’s people still out taking our human rights!!! When will this end!😡😢

It's a medical procedure. We should not need a law to have a medical procedure.

So glad Whoopi, escaped the abortionists' crushing forceps, etc.,

WRONG! Its a fetus issue, not a human issue! The living breathing clump of cells doesn't become a human until its 1st birthday.

For comedic relief tune in today to watch the meltdowns.

Isn't Whoopi just an actress?

Not too sure why the Supreme Court is taking it on itself to overturn something that is already law. They are setting a dangerous precedent for other legal things and pretty much saying “we do what we want” and that’s not their role. That is unconscionable and unconstitutional

Many years ago she did an amazing skit re: abortion. I was young. She was profound. I was grateful this battle for our right to choose was fought and won around the same time I was born. In that skit she taught me exactly what a hard battle that was. Now the battle begins again

🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

TheView Thx Whoopi’s you have always been honest and brave!
