Iâm not a fan of the show AT ALL, but are you sure on the bolded part? Elizabeth Hassebeck (the conservative) was raised Catholic and went to Boston CollegeâŚ

They wanted Behar to be âinflammatoryâ one. Whoopi is the âniceâ liberal.
Behar is the opposite. The âobnoxious liberalâ one, in other words.
Thatâs why they hired her.

They donât consider a fetus a âbaby.â
Except for Hasselbeck, maybe.
There you go.

Sherri got very defensive. She said she was speaking as someone who had several abortions when she was younger. I canât remember her exact words but along the lines of not wanting to mess her kids up with her not able to support them.

Whoopie made movies. Joy is a comedian. They are all tv celebs. Itâs âhollywoodâ even if the show airs in NY, NC, NJ, Chicago.
Iâm not trying to say those that live in Calif. are idiots. Only the stars that use their celeb status, (no matter where they live or where their show airs from) to push their own political agenda off on us little people because Lord knows we wouldnât know who to vote for or what the issues are if we donât have the likes of the View girls or Opra leading us around by the nose. Itâs all hollywood stuff.

And this is just the exact idiocy I am talking about.

Have to agree on the assesment of âRoom Temperature IQâ levels.
The thing I most dislike about this show is that they frequently provide completely false information and go unchallenged. Sometimes Elisabeth Hasselback tries to interject a different point of view but they generally shoot her down. Other than Elisabeth I would say they are very much East Coast Leftist Elitist Feminists. Iâm just sorry that people watching think this represents the majority of women and their points of viewâŚ

To answer a question. I have watched parts of the shgow on a few ocasions. I have heard that Elizabeth Hasselbeck was antiCatholic, in spite of being raised Catholic. I donât remember who I heard it from, several years ago, but I took his word for it.

Iâve heard this before and it makes me angry. I grew up in a VERY rough environment⌠and I am glad to be alive. I could easily look back on my childhood and be angry that I was born but instead I rejoice in the life I have been given.
People like this make me ANGRY. How dare you deny someone life just because youâre worried they might have a rough start to it? Really? REALLY? Thatâs the stupidest reason for an abortion Iâve ever heard.

Come to think of it, Whoopie used to do standup before she made it big in movies too. So three of them have very similar professional backgrounds. Youâd think they would try to choose women of more diverse backgrounds⌠like maybe a businesswoman, a SAHM, a doctor, etc.

EXCEPT the Left defines âdiversityâ simply by skin color! The idea that a black woman would have more in common with a white woman because they share important demographics is anathema to the Left.
Itâs all about identity politics. So as they have various shades of skin tone on The View they can crow about having a âdiverseâ perspective.

No actually even stupider was the woman who wrote an article in the New York Times as I recall. She spoke of the horror of buying large jars of mayonnaise at Costco resulting from becoming a mother. She simply couldnât face that kind of demeaning existence and thus aborted her unborn child.
You see this same viewpoint among the View females. Itâs a particularly militant feminism, all about me and what I want, what makes me happy. The majority of the View hosts are of that mindset. Children of the 60s who never quite grew up.

Ugh.
There really isnât anything else I can say in response to this⌠seriously? Life has been reduced to this?

I remember that article. The women was pregnant with multiples (I donât recall if it was twins or triplets) She did not want to give up her job or her fancy Manhattan apartment and move to another borough. So she aborted all but one.

Yep thatâs the one! I believe she had undergone IVF and they generally implant multiple embryos with the theory that there is a greater opportunity for a secure pregnancy to take place. I believe she only had twins and thus was deciding whether to âreduceâ or not. Obviously she had the financial wherewithall to obtain expensive fertility treatments (the moral of that practice is also questionable) and lived in an expensive apartment. So financially supporting both babies was not the issue, but rather the change in lifestyle. As I recall she didnât think her husband (partner? sperm donor?) should have any say in the decision as it was âher bodyâ and presumably her Costco cardâŚUGH is rightI remember that article. The women was pregnant with multiples (I donât recall if it was twins or triplets) She did not want to give up her job or her fancy Manhattan apartment and move to another borough.

Getting back to the thread, this attitude as also expressed by Sherri that unborn life can be taken for convenience is probably more representative of the Viewâs hosts over the years.
They think they represent women in America but really only represent the attitude of Coastal Elites (Left Coast and East Coast). I really wonder who watches it and whyâŚ

Iâve seen the show enough times to form the opinion that the showâs chosen format is to bring up topics of conversation for the sole purpose of provoking idle gossip and sparring between equally baseless opinions between the regulars. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they disagree, but the level of conversation that could be overheard between eight loud women having dinner and drinks at a bar and grill is not of a significantly different caliber. In the case of Joy Behar, her remarks are apparently not significantly different in decibel level, either. (They do seem to generate the noise level of eight women whoâve all had a few drinks, so I guess theyâre earning their paychecks in that sense.
)If I found myself sitting at a restaurant near to a group of women whose conversation was the equivalent to a taping of The View, Iâm fairly certain I would have to ask to be moved as far away as possible.
