'The View' host bristles at progressive Democrats' abortion testimony: 'I was sort of cringing at it'
Fox News
"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin dismissed the abortion testimony from three prominent progressive Democrats Friday, declaring she "wasn't convinced" by anything they said as she reiterated her stance that all life begins at conception.
Lee admitted to having a "back-alley" abortion in Mexico during the 1960s before the landmark Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion across the U.S. Bush said she was raped on a church trip in 1994, became pregnant and got an abortion at the age of 18. Jayapal said she became pregnant while on birth control and decided to have an abortion to prevent a second high-risk pregnancy, one of which she already had with her first child.
Hostin, herself a progressive, admitted she didn't think anyone would change their minds as a result of hearing the testimonies, and said that she "didn't really like" that the three congresswomen were sharing their personal information.
"I don’t think that that testimony is going to change anyone’s minds. I was sort of cringing at it because I do think it’s so personal," Hostin said. "As everyone knows I think that life begins at conception, and I just kept on thinking about the fact that babies were aborted."
