GHOULS: ABC’s 'The View' Literally Applauds Rising Abortion Rates #Political
On the June 27 broadcast of ABC’s The View, viewers were once again subjected to a plethora of leftist ideology– this time on abortion. Under the guise of “concern” and “compassion,” the panel pushed a narrative that not only distorted facts, but weaponized tragedy to dehumanize unborn children and justify killing them. The cast and the far-left audience literally applauded rising abortion rates.
The women of The View were no strangers to using extreme, if not violent, rhetoric around abortion. In 2023, the show discussed the topic with celebrity Jane Fonda, who disgustingly suggested murdering pro-lifers. Co-host Sara Haines has even dismissed IVF pregnancies as not a part of the “miracle of life” and outside of God’s plan, to mock Catholic co-host Sunny Hostin’s defense of the medical procedure.
Interestingly, Alyssa Farah Griffin making a case for the ethical and medical complexities of abortion, even carefully toying with some pro-life talking points.
I think it is a medical and ethical decision, that because of the ethics of it, the law does have to come in, and I’ll explain why here. Recently a 20-week year-old baby survived outside of the womb because of medical intervention. That's a miracle. That's science, that's technology making something that seemed impossible possible. So science is moving quicker than the public policy debate around it and at some point we'll have to ask ourselves if a baby can live outside the womb at a certain point should there be a restriction on the ability to terminate a pregnancy at that point?
The discussion quickly veered into emotional manipulation, as co-host Sara Haines used the recent news story of Adriana Smith, a brain-dead pregnant woman “unfairly” kept on life support against her family’s wishes, despite Smith being pregnant at the time. Using air quotes around the word “life,” Haines huffed, “…this is an awful story, where the government was allowed to keep someone alive for ‘the life’ in her stomach…”
She, of course, dismissed the part where Smith’s baby was delivered alive and well, arguing that “the baby was born at like one pound.”
The show portrayed Smith’s story primarily through the lens of race, lamenting “maternal mortality rates for black women” while ignoring the true cause of this scenario: lack of medical clarity from doctors.
Adriana Smith had blood clots that went undiagnosed during routine check-ups, which led to her eventually passing. However, in order to save her child, doctors kept her on life-support until the baby could be delivered healthy, which it was. This was the major point of contention in the discussion. As Griffin pointed out, if she herself were pregnant and ended up in a similar situation, she would also want the baby to live.
Griffin’s response was immediately undercut by Haines and Ana Navarro, who instead pushed the agenda that overturning Roe v. Wade has somehow led to an increase in abortions and maternal deaths. This claim was not just misleading; it was categorically false when analyzed with credible data. The reason abortions were “rising” had less to do with the Dobbs decision and everything to do with the shifted definition of “abortion,” which has expanded to include Plan B type pills in the data spoken of on the show.
The panel’s selective use of statistics exemplifies the liberal media’s favorite tactic: cherry-picking data to push a narrative of crisis and injustice. The applause that followed Haines’s statement about rising abortions seemed like praise. The persistent murder of babies actually made the audience applaud.
Nothing less could be expected from The View.

SUNNY HOSTIN: Do you think the government should be involved in this at all?
ALYSSA FARRAH GRIFFIN: I think it is a medical and ethical decision, that because of the ethics of it, the law does have to come in, and I’ll explain why here. Recently a 20-week year-old baby survived outside of the womb because of medical intervention. That's a miracle. That's science, that's technology making something that seemed impossible possible. So science is moving quicker than the public policy debate around it and at some point we'll have to ask ourselves if a baby can live outside the womb at a certain point should there be a restriction on the ability to terminate a pregnancy at that point?
SARA HAINES: Yeah, but there’s a really disturbing case, kind of touching on what you said. There’s a woman named Adriana Smith, a woman who was brain dead because she went in having concerns about her pregnancy, they sent her home. She went back and it ended up she’d had blood clots. They kept her alive by ventilators although her family wanted to let her go because she was completely brain dead, but they did it to keep the baby against her family's wishes and the baby was born at like one pound, but like to me that is such an overstep.
If you go into the hospital and you've lost your loved one because, arguably, they missed it the first time with blood clot, she was a black woman which is important because the maternal mortality– maternal mortality rate is awful for black women and people of color but this is– this is an awful story, where the government was allowed to keep someone alive for “the life” in her stomach when her family was saying, “she's dead, she is dead.”
GRIFFIN: But, respectfully, I see it differently. I'm trying to get pregnant right now. If, God forbid, something happened to me and I were carrying a child, I would want every medical intervention possible to keep me alive to have that baby survive, and that baby is alive today.
HOSTIN: Yeah.
JOY BEHAR: Well that’s–
GRIFFIN: And, by the way–
HAINES: But what about medical proxy? Because like, people are given the power to let their loved ones–
GRIFFIN: They did– they have it for the woman, but that's where it gets complicated, is you don’t– we don't have a legal standard when it comes to the unborn baby.
HAINES: The big problem here is that– I said this three years ago, this overturning of Roe v. Wade will not reduce abortions, it will reduce safe abortions, and what we're seeing right now is that–
SUNNY HOSTIN: There’s a rise.
HAINES: There's a massive rise in the number of abortions, but mothers in states that banned abortion are twice as likely to die and if you’re a black mother, you’re three times as likely to die–
ANA NAVARRO: Yeah, which is what Joy and Whoopi kept saying.
HAINES: Maternal mortality rate rose 56 percent in Texas. Texas was 155 percent and maternal mortality fell in 20 percent in supportive states. The message here is if you are arguing for life, look at those stats and then tell me what you think.
BEHAR: So abortions rose ever since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
HAINES: Absolutely.
[APPLAUSE]
HAINES: They’ve risen every year.
HOSITN: Yeah.
BEHAR: Okay. We’ll be right back.
