Whoopi Powerfully Shuts Down GOP Rep. Nancy Mace Over Abortion Rights On 'The View'

'The View' cohost Whoopi Goldberg was having none of Republican Rep. Nancy Mace's arguments about abortion rights—and she didn't back down.

Whoopi Goldberg threw down the gauntlet with South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace over reproductive rights.

Mace, who identifies as pro-life, is a rape survivor who has advocated for exceptions to anti-abortion legislation.


Last month during a CNN interview with Dana Bash, she spoke out against her party and warned that "they’re walking the plank” with their unwavering stance on abortion.

Although Mace said she was pro-life, she said she understands that the GOP "cannot be a**holes to women.”

On Monday's episode of The View, conservative View co-host Alyssa Farah asked how the Republicans were a "pro-women" and "pro-family" party in the wake of the dissolution of Roe v. Wade.

She asked Mace:

"What is the GOP getting wrong right now and what do you think the answer is?"

Mace said the problem was on "women's issues" and that while she would support the GOP on issues she agrees with, she'll certainly call them out on ones she disagrees with.

"We cannot demonize women, and I, myself, I am a survivor of rape."

She told the panel how her life was upended when she was raped at 16 and dropped out of high school as a result of the trauma.

"I know firsthand the kind of lifetime of trauma that women and girls face when they go through that and the shame that they feel," she said, adding, "and the fact that we demonize women who don’t want to be in that position to make a choice."

"They don’t want to be in a position where they have to decide to have an abortion or not.”

Goldberg asked Mace:

"Do you want the government to tell you how to raise your family?"

When Mace replied that she didn't, Goldberg continued:

“No law says you have to have an abortion. There’s no law on the books that says you have to have an abortion."
“Isn’t that my choice, if my doctor and I feel that’s the best way for me? ... Why am I being held to someone else’s religious belief?”

Mace replied:

"At some point, that baby, people will agree with me, the baby deserves the right to life."

Goldberg interjected:

"But that's your belief."

To which Mace shot back:

"You don’t want the government in the room with the doctor and the woman, but those who want the government to pay for it [have] the government in the room with the doctor and the woman."
"So you can’t have it both ways.”




Goldberg did not let it go, continuing to challenge Mace:

“Why am I, why do you want me to go with your belief when that is not my belief?”

After Goldberg's statement elicited applause from the audience, Mace went on to claim that "all the states have the right to do whatever they want" and that in California and New York, "it's all the way up until nine months"–even though both states have restrictions on abortion based on fetal viability regardless of a mother's life being at risk.

Goldberg cut her off and said:

“Let’s stop that. No one, no one, no one—no doctor, no hospital, no one, will take a baby at nine months for an abortion!"
"I’m telling you this.”
“But why is it not my choice? This is the part I’m missing."
"Because I understand your choice. I understand your choice.”



Goldberg continued after not getting a response to her question.

“I also am pro-life," she said, adding:

"I want everybody to have a safe life. I want them to be safe and do all the things that they should be able to do."
“But when it comes to what is best for my family and I, why isn’t that my choice and my doctor’s choice without bringing anyone else in?”

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
