On yesterday’s episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg staged an indignant rant in defense of abortion on demand. Specifically, Goldberg was vexed by Justice Samuel Alito’s having asked during the oral argument in Dobbs whether, during a pregnancy, “the fetus has an interest in having a life and that doesn’t change . . . from the point before viability to the point after viability?”

“How dare you?” Goldberg said to the camera. “How dare you?” And the audience applauded.
