Elisabeth Hasselbeck VS Whoopi Goldberg on Abortion Rights

Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck discussed abortion rights on 'The View

On the subject 'God would support the right to abortion', “The View” segment aired the morning after Kansas residents voted overwhelmingly to keep abortion legal in the state.

Goldberg referenced the Bible to make a case for freedom of choice

"As you know, 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."
