Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Aerial Wolf Killing OK, Abortion Not (Video)

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 17:09:00 GMT

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck is at it again - making her fellow co-hosts angry (although, that's most days isn't it?). On a recent show, the women were talking about Sarah Palin's promotion of aerial wolf killing and then showed a PSA that actress Ashley Judd did, speaking out against the process. Hasselbeck, always one to defend Palin no matter what, was OK with killing wolves (apparently) in winter from airplanes - said celebs should speak out against abortion instead.

Video after the jump!

After viewing the PSA of the wolf killings, Elisabeth drew analogies to abortion. The other women wanted her to stay on topic, which, uh, she didn't. Hasselbeck said the caribou population was being protected by the slaughter of wolves, defending Sarah Palin and then went on her rant about abortion. I think they're two totally different topics, but that's just me.

Elisabeth had a problem with vocal celebs who speak out about animals but not about babies being killed in abortions. Perhaps those same 'said celebrities' believe in a woman's right to choose?

She, of course, has the right to view things the way she wants - but I often wonder, as her children get older and start to form their own opinions, will she squash their take on things? She seems slightly controlling, in my opinion. Will she allow her children to have their own views on such subjects?

And what if her daughter got pregnant as a teen (or heck, even as a grown, young woman), or her son impregnates his girlfriend and the subject of abortion comes up? She's against it obviously (which is fine, because really, no one is for abortion, but some of us, believe in a woman's right to choose what's in her own best interest), but would she allow her kids (or, as young adults, would she support them, no matter what) to make those sort of choices for themselves?

Anyway, on to the insanity....

Womb With a 'View': Elisabeth Hasselbeck is Pregnant

Chris Rock: Sarah Palin's A Hockey-Mom Version Of Kim Kardashian

HerBadMother — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:21:00 GMT

Chris Rock was on Larry King recently, and managed to summarize almost perfectly the problem with Sarah Palin, without referring to any of her unfortunate opinions on abortion or gay marriage or her decision to put her pregnant daughter Bristol on the hustings: he compared her to Kim Kardashian.

Watching Sarah Palin 'perform' - in interviews and photo-opps - is discomfiting, he suggested, because you really just expect her to do better. "It's like watching Kim Kardashian on Dancing With The Stars. All that ass and she can't shake it."

(The Kardashian comment comes at the very end of the clip)

"All that ass she can't shake it." I want that on a t-shirt.

Bristol Baby: Sarah Palin's Teen Daughter Pregnant!

Whit Honea — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:04:00 GMT

Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter Bristol is five months pregnant. She says that she will marry the father.

According to an aide, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain was aware of the high school senior's pregnancy before making Palin his VP choice.

“Senator McCain knew this and felt in no way did it disqualify her from being vice president,” said the aide. “Families have difficulties sometimes and lucky for her she has a supportive family.”

The aide also stated that the decision to reveal the pregnancy now was based on rumors that Sarah Palin’s four-month-old baby is actually Bristol's. Guess they showed us.

“In the course of correcting that, we needed to get the truth out,” said the aide.

Sarah and Todd Palin issued a statement saying that they are “proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents” and asked the media to respect their daughters privacy. I'm guessing that won't happen.

According to CNN,"McCain's aide insisted a key point to keep in mind is that Bristol decided to keep the baby, a decision “supported by her parents.”"

So, keep that in mind.

Seven Things You Might Not Know About Sarah Palin

Karl Erikson — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:04:00 GMT

Sarah Palin is already a household name, which is pretty amazing, considering nobody knew who the hell she was a mere two days ago. Well, maybe Alaskans knew who she was, but how many people live there?

John McCain's shocking pick for his Vice Presidential candidate has news networks and papers still scrambling to learn more about this woman. Sarah Palin, as you know now, is 44 years old, the governor of Alaska, and a mother of five.

Now here are some things you might NOT know about her.

Palin has a son in the Army, who is being deployed to Iraq shortly. Track - yeah, that's his name - is 19 and due to head out for the Middle East on September 11. Naturally, Sarah is very worried.
Her youngest son, Trig - course, that's if he really IS her son - has Down Syndrome. And she knew it ahead of time, too. She's strongly pro life, however, and abortion never entered her mind. In fact, she's on the record for being SO pro-life that she opposes abortion even in cases of incest and rape. The only time she supports it is when the mother's life is in danger.
She has served on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and served as chairman in 2003-2004. She resigned because of a "lack of ethics" on the part of fellow Republicans.
She is not only the first female governor of Alaska, but also the youngest. She started serving at 42. One of the first things she did as governonr was to sell the governor's Lear jet, which her predecessor bought, calling the thing outrageous and part of a ton of excessive spending. And better yet? She sold the thing on eBay.
Her husband, Todd (also 44), is part Eskimo. They've been married for 20 years now. Todd runs a family commercial fishing operation, and also has another full-time job with BP as an oil company production operator.
Palin hunts, goes ice fishing, rides snowmobiles, eats mooseburgers, has run a marathon, and owns a float plane.
Palin has a unique sense of style. Sure, she heads out for moose hunting in hunting fatigues, but while she's behind the governor's desk, she wears Kawasaki designer specs and black Franco Sarto boots. I have no doubt that some of you know who the hell those people are. I sure don't. My sense of style is shorts and a t-shirt.

Jacksonville Jaguars' Dennis Northcutt Mixed Up in Assaulting His Pregnant Girlfriend?

Karl Erikson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:33:00 GMT

Shocking! NFL star Dennis Northcut of the Jacksonville Jaguars is being sued for conspiring to beat up the mother of his unborn baby! Sharri Henry claims that in May, wide receiver Northcut convinced his cousin to "maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Henry, her face and head with great force and violence ... causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face." This happened when Henry was four months pregnant with Northcutt's love child.

According to TMZ, Henry's lawyer says that Northcutt was pissed off that Henry refused to get an abortion. She's now 7 months pregnant.

I find this hard to believe, frankly. I mean, when was the last time you heard about professional football players getting into trouble with the law? Seriously. When?

"Abortion Art" Chick Is Certifiable - Issues Statement

Sassy Smith — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:02:00 GMT

This has gone beyond "art" in my opinion. I'm not sure what Aliza Shvarts' goal is - perhaps she's looking to get her 15-minutes of fame, but the woman is crazy. If this is how she's hoping to get to "celebrity" status, I'm thinking she's going about it all wrong.

Ms. Shvarts issued a statement to The Yale Daily News and denies claims from her own University that her self-inducing pregnancies and miscarrages were some sort of hoax.

Here's some of the article from The Yale Daily News:

Shvarts reiterated Thursday that she repeatedly use a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself. At the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding, she said. She said she does not know whether or not she was ever pregnant.

“No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen,” Shvarts said, “because the nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties.”

This afternoon, Shvarts showed the News footage from tapes she plans to play at the exhibit. The tapes depict Shvarts — sometimes naked, sometimes clothed — alone in a shower stall bleeding into a cup.

I'm offically calling this woman nuts and I think I'm going to be sick. Give me Britney Spears any day!

Aliza Shvarts Is A Crazy Bitch

"Abortion Art" Not Real

Sassy Smith — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:02:00 GMT

Aliza Shvarts "abortion art" was performance art and she did not impregnate herself or induce miscarriages. A statement was issued from Yale University spokesperson Helaine S. Klasky and it reads:

Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials. She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.

She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.

Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.

There you go, I guess we were all duped and she's just ~~kinda weird~~ an artist expressing herself. Personally, that's not my kind of "art" though. I'll stick with the stuff my kids bring home and put on the fridge.

Aliza Shvarts Is A Crazy Bitch

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:55:00 GMT

I'm an designer, so I absolutely believe in the freedom of an artist to use their medium as a form of self-expression. I'm also pro-choice, and I believe that individuals have a right to express that view as well. Hell, I may have even combined the two in college when I made that corny ass poster of a woman's hands over her breasts and that overused caption 'Keep Your Laws Off My Body.'

But what Aliza Shvarts is doing? NOT art, and certainly not helping the cause of a woman's right to choose. The Yale Daily News is reporting that art major Schvarts “artificially inseminated herself ‘as often as possible’ while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages" as part of her senior art project.

This took place over nine months and served as documentation for her exhibition, which projects videos of her miscarriages and life onto a hanging cube wrapped hundreds of times in plastic, with blood from the miscarriages spread between the layers. I won't go into any more detail, but if you can stomach it you can see what else she 'shares' in her exhibition here.

Oh, also? Schvarts claims she didn't do the piece merely for "shock value."

WTF? I have news for you Aliza - wrapping your miscarriages up like a bunch of steaks and hanging them from a piece of string is certainly not art, and only serves to trivialize abortion and what is a very serious decision for women.

Also, it's whack jobs like you that give a bad name to people who are truly creative. Exhibits like yours only damage real artists and their work in the court of public opinion. What you're doing is not art, so don't even attempt to put yourself in the same category as the Jasper Johns or the David Hockneys or even the Damien Hirsts of the world.

Horton Hears Abortion Protesters

HerBadMother — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 13:33:00 GMT

The Hollywood premiere for the animated remake of Dr. Suess's Horton Hears A Who - starring the voices of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell - turned bizarre and more than a little disturbing when abortion protesters infiltrated the screening and then shouted pro-life slogans at attendees - mostly children - afterwards.

The stars in attendance included Victoria Beckham and her three kids, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Steve Carell and all 12 contestants from "American Idol."

I know: what in the name of fack does Horton have to do with abortion? NOTHING. But the protesters had seized upon one line from the book/movie - "a person is a person, no matter how small" - and decided that it was the perfect slogan for their cause. Which, of course, means swarm the children's movie that the line appears in and scream pro-life slogans at tots.

These people have twisted, twisted souls.

Jessica Sierra No Longer Pregnant

Karen — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:03:00 GMT

TMZ is reporting that a source revealed to them directly that Jessica Sierra is "no longer pregnant."

No one is certain what has happened.

Sierra, formerly an American Idol contestant, was arrested December 3rd, 2007 and hit with charges of cocaine possession, battery, and disorderly intoxication. What followed was a racist outburst and more.

Sierra's pregnancy was reported in December while she remained in jail.

K-Fed Finally Speaks Out

Karen — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:30:00 GMT

Kevin Federline has kept his voice out of the media for so long, but he told Interview magazine his feelings on the situation between him and ex-wife Britney Spears.

"Even though everything is so publicized and everybody is looking at it, it's normal for us.

“People put it up on this pedestal when it's really the same way that everybody else goes through their stuff, you know? It's not really any different.

“I mean, I could sit down and explain that to people, but they all already know how I feel. I think the infatuation with the whole thing is that watching us go through things makes other people feel normal."

I'LL SAY.

When asked how he felt about the public using his ex-wife's antics as entertainment, he replied:

“I guess that's the way I have to look at it. I'm not completely willing to give in to everything that's been done. But that's the way that things have happened and I'm not that completely upset by it either.

“I've gained a whole lot of stuff I've wanted to do out of it, too. But I don't think it hurt the relationship, and I don't regret letting people in.”

Look for February's Interview magazine for the full scoop on K-Fed and Britney's highly publicized split. Say what you want about Kevin Federline, but it seems he is coming out as the good Daddy in this whole thing. Hopefully those boys are protected and loved in his home.

Jamie Lynn Gets Support From Kevin Federline

Karen — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:06:00 GMT

It's no secret K-Fed knew of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy before Britney, in fact it seems the Spears family is closer to him than to their own flesh and blood.

"Kevin has long thought of Jamie Lynn as a little sister. He was heartbroken because he was concerned about what it would mean for Jamie Lynn's future." But now that the dust has begun to settle, "he just wants to be part of the support system."

OK! Magazine asked the question this morning, "Who do you think Jamie Lynn should get parenting advice from?"

I can't believe my favorite answer was Kevin Federline!

Jamie Lynn Spears Shows Off Her Baby Bump

Sassy Smith — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 21:04:00 GMT

New photos have been taken of pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears and her on again, off again boyfriend, possible baby daddy or not, Casey Aldridge.

MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP

And I have to say, she does not look 14 weeks pregnant. Sure it could be the dress making her appear bigger than she is but I don't think so. She's a teenager, with a flat belly and a first pregnancy, so her baby bump should not even be showing if she is only 14 weeks!

There'll be no more denying things when she pops that little Spears out in March!

Larry Fitzgerald a Baby-Daddy?

Whit Honea — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:18:00 GMT

Larry Fitzgerald, sure, but does Gerald Fitzlarry. Sorry. I never get to use that one.

Okay, here's the actual story: Arizona Cardinal Larry Fitzgerald may soon be a father. TMZ is reporting that ex-Raiders' cheerleader Angela Nazario has filed a paternity suit against the football player claiming he is the father of her baby which will be born in January.

She is also alleging that Fitzgerald tried to hide her in a small Arizona town and bribed her to get any abortion, telling her, "I don't need this all over the news like Matt Leinart." Nice.

Fitzgerald says he will care for the child should a DNA test prove the baby is indeed his.

Hiding, bribing and Leinart-smacking? That's grounds for crazy.

Coulteresque Hasselbeck to Take Stupidity and Husband to Arizona: A Poll

Whit Honea — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:35:00 GMT

The biggest difference between Ann Coulter and Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the former's adam's apple. It's definitely the biggest thing between her mouth and the holy ground she walks on. Also, Elisabeth was able to stop spewing hate long enough to get pregnant.

Hasselbeck is going to Arizona. I'm guessing Coulter will be going someplace even hotter.

The man lucky enough to get a full view 24/7 is her husband Tim Hasselbeck, a NFL quarterback who was just acquired by the Arizona Cardinals. He will be the ~~3rd~~ 4th QB this season.

I went to a game in Arizona earlier this season. Nice stadium. Good crowd. What do you think will piss them off first, Tim's arm or Elisabeth's mouth?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Thinks Abortions are Superficial. Sarah Silverman Just Thinks They're Super!

Whit Honea — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 15:53:00 GMT

I can't do justice to the level of stupidity that is Elisabeth Hasselbeck any better than HBM already did. However, I may be able to shed a little light on why she used the middle of a totally unrelated segment of The View to perform her one-woman play, The I Hate Vaginas Monologue.

You may recall that in a moment of Coulteresque whimsy Hasselbeck started sprouting off about why women get abortions. Yes, they're superficial. You probably already knew that.

While I couldn't find anyone in the world to support her theory, I was able to locate someone that might clear things up a bit. You see, Sarah Silverman knows what Hasselbeck meant, abortions aren't "superficial" they're just plain ol' super!

This video may be offensive to you. Yes, I'm talking to you Elisabeth.

This Makes Me Want To Smack Elisabeth Hasselbeck Upside The Head (Figuratively, But Still)

HerBadMother — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 22:32:00 GMT

I don't have anything personal against Elisabeth Hasselbeck, I really don't. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, that she has to offer the world, but I also wondered that about Star Jones, so whatever. So I generally don't pay much attention to the crap that she spews. It's not crap on a level with the fecal spewage that escapes the likes of Ann Coulter, so it's pretty easy to ignore.

But then she had to go and start spouting nonsense - apropos of nothing at all - about the reasons that women get abortions, and as much as I tried to plug my ears and chant LA LA LA LA LA LA to block the grating din of her asshat opinion, I just couldn't STOP. THE. NOISE.

According to Elisabeth Hasselbeck, it should be difficult for women to get abortions. Women, she says, get abortions for superficial reasons. If abortions were harder to come by, then women wouldn't just, you know, kill babies for no good reason.

As Whoopi Goldberg so astutely pointed out in response to Hasselbeck's nonsense, unless girlfriend has been in a position where she's had to contemplate such a decision - because of poverty, because of social sanction, because of sexual assualt, because of lack of support, because of fear, because of any one of the innumerable, painful reasons that pushes women and girls to make such a terrible decision - she can just shut her mouth. It is the very, very rare woman who makes that decision lightly, and it is the very, very rare woman who leaves that decision lightly: most women go into it gripped with sadness, and come out of it the same way, save for whatever measure of relief has been afforded them for being able to escape circumstances that they feared would be far worse. Nobody wants to get an abortion, Hasselcrack. It's not a weekend in Vegas. Oh, hey, I think I'll go get an abortion this weekend - I could use a coupla days of rest, and I didn't want this baby anyway!

It's one thing to be 'against' abortion (which is fine, but isn't everybody 'against' abortion in the sense that we all wish that it didn't have to happen? Nobody is FOR abortion; they're for the right of women to access it if they need it); it's quite another to suggest that women who get abortions are vapid, self-absorbed twits.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a vapid, self-absorbed twit. Whether she's an evil one, or a stupid one, I haven't quite figured out yet. I'll keep you posted.
