Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View,” which I have stated countless times is the worst morning talk show on television, actually came out during the Tuesday edition of the program defending the pro-life conservative position when it comes to the issue of in vitro fertilization (IVF), while other co-hosts made the claim that an unborn child is not a real human being. I’m not sure what kind of magical transformation happens when the baby makes it to the outside of the mother’s stomach that suddenly makes it a human being when just moments before it wasn’t one, but hey, what do I know?
Here’s more from The Daily Caller:
The co-hosts debated the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling that frozen embryos fertilized through the IVF process are children and that the destruction of these embryos is legally a “wrongful death.” Hostin argued she and her husband ensured all the fertilized eggs they used during their personal IVF process were used, and argued life begins at conception.
“Now we did use frozen embryos, but because we are Catholic, we knew that we couldn’t destroy the embryos because they are, in our view, children. And we couldn’t just give them up for research because, in our view, they were children,” Hostin said. “So we were, I feel, responsible in the sense that we used every single embryo and if every single embryo became a child, then we were going to take care of the child. And we don’t have any frozen embryos left, thank God, because I would probably have an extra baby.”
Fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked Hostin, “So this is because of your religious beliefs?”
Hostin then provided an explanation for what Catholic Christians believe when it comes to when human life starts, which she then said is a claim backed by science.
“But this is based on your religious belief, these are your religious convictions,” Goldberg said.
“Well it’s partially based on it, but it’s partially based on science as well,” Hostin said.
Ninety-six percent of biologists from 1,058 academic institutions around the world affirmed that life begins at fertilization, according to the National Library of Medicine. The American College of Pediatricians refers to fertilization as the moment a human “emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism.”
Sara Haines, another of the show’s co-hosts then stated that a human embryo isn’t viable outside of the mother’s uterus and thus, the state of Alabama was wrong to refer to the pre-born child as a minor. Hostin provided a counterargument to this statement.
“They’re calling it a minor. A full-blown minor,” Haines whined. “Not an embryo, not a fetus —”
“Well it’s an unborn child,” Hostin interjected.
“Well, see, that’s where I differ because the whole miracle of life and religious argument for the very brilliance of science just doesn’t go together. This was not, yes embryos, yes fertilization, this stuff can happen naturally. It doesn’t here,” Haines remarked, proving her IQ is less than a toddler’s shoe size. “This great gratitude goes to the scientists and the doctors who were able to help do this.”
Hostin then, shockingly, provided some support for Justice Amy Coney Barrett for being opposed to IVF due to her own Catholic faith. And everyone’s least favorite co-host, Joy Behar couldn’t help but jump into the mix and give an opinion no one cares about by whining that Barrett believes IVF should be criminalized.
Haines then stated she too has respect for Barrett because she opposes IVF which is consistent with her own pro-life views. Then Goldberg made the absurd claim that everyone at the table is actually pro-life, despite all of them being in favor of pro-abortion laws.
“I am not pro-life,” Haines responded. “I am actually fully pro-choice.”
“You are pro-life,” Goldberg said. “There is no one at this table who is not pro-life!”
These people are a mess. A total mess.
