“The View” co-host Sara Haines is facing backlash for arguing that pro-life Americans should abstain from cancer treatments or be labeled hypocrites.
Haines made the sickening and deplorable argument Friday while responding to a recent Texas abortion ruling in which the state Supreme Court temporarily blocked a woman from obtaining an emergency abortion.
“[Kate] Cox is 20 weeks pregnant. Her unborn baby was diagnosed with a fatal genetic disease and she says complications in her pregnancy are putting her health at risk.” CNN reported on Saturday.
Haines was not happy.
Listen:
“That example should be one of the easy ones because that also put her future fertility at risk, and she wants to grow her family more, and of course the baby's going to happen, all those things,” he said.
“But it's also not a universal truth when life begins. An example is Jewish women suing in Kentucky because, under Jewish law, a fetus is considered part of the mother's body until it begins to leave the womb . People don't do it lightly,” he added.
Targeting pro-lifers who believe pregnancies are “God's will,” he then tried to apply the principle in reverse to attack these pro-lifers.
“[I]If it is God's will on the way in, it should also be God's will on the way out. This begs the question, is he on heart attack meds? Are you treating your cancer? You dying when you said you should?” she said.
“Because if we're going to argue about life inside, then let's be honest about life outside. Don't go to the hospital if you're hurting because it's God's will. Like, I don't like inconsistencies and hypocrisy when the people weaponize religion on this issue,” he added.
Critics immediately pounced, with LifeNews.com leading the way with a fact-checking tweet about its “universal truth” claim:
Biological Principles and Modern Practice of Obstetrics, 1974, pages 17, 23, JP Greenhill and EA Freidman: “The term conception refers to the union of the male and female pronuclear elements of procreation from which a new living being develops. It is synonymous with…

Other critics were much harsher on Haines.
Look at:
@sarahaines You are a pathetic, nasty LOSER for saying it is “God's will” for pro-lifers like me to die of cancer! What a rotten human being you are, just like the rest of the ladies on The View!!! #STFU

@sarahaines I am disgusted after hearing your opinion on abortion. You compared someone who chooses to end another person's life to someone who chooses not to take heart medication!!! YOU ARE INFERIOR!!!!!!

This show is literally the most vile, hateful, discriminatory, unethical show on television and the sponsors continue to support it the same way they support Harvard and others who discriminate against Jews or conservatives.

Because CLEARLY a woman who is pregnant with a baby should treat that baby like a disease to be “managed” or eradicated, right?
Such a cruel and cruel way to deal with new life.

Can you imagine the outrage if Republicans said on camera that pro-choice women with cancer should give up health care and die so that no more lives are taken? Your comment was Despicable Sarah. Selfish is just like selfish. All life matters. You need to educate yourself in compassion

As for Cox, the Texas woman who has blocked abortion, the Texas Supreme Court's ruling came a day after a judge issued a temporary restraining order allowing her to have an abortion.
“On Thursday, Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted Dallas resident Kate Cox, 31, a temporary restraining order allowing her to terminate her pregnancy. Cox learned at 20 weeks of pregnancy that her fetus has full trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality that will likely be fatal to the child before birth or very soon after,” according to The Texas Tribune.
However, in response to the emergency declaration, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an emergency petition with the Texas Supreme Court and also threatened to prosecute any doctor who performed an abortion on Cox.
“However, Paxton's office issued a statement shortly after the ruling, telling Houston Methodist Hospital, Texas Women's Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital at Houston that the order to 'removal “will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas abortion laws,” the Tribune notes.
