“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Monday that abortion was not included in the Ten Commandments and argued it couldn’t be included under “Thou shalt not kill.”
The co-hosts were discussing former President Trump’s abortion stance, which he posted to social media on Monday. Trump explicitly affirmed his support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and emphasized his support for states determining their own laws for abortion so long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.
“No one is obligated to have an abortion. You never have to have one, and I hope no one ever has to have one,” Goldberg said. “I want to make sure that if you decide this is what you need to do, I’m going to get behind you because I don’t know your life, and if you say this is what you need, that’s what I’m going to do.”
“It’s you, your doctor, and God. That’s who you have to be conversational to, and it’s not mentioned in the big ten, I’m just going to say,” she continued, referring to the Ten Commandments.
Hostin agreed, but said evangelical Christians would apply it to “thou shalt not kill.”
“I think ‘thou shall not kill’ cannot be used as the block because we allow wars all the time,” Goldberg said.
