The View weighed in this morning on the brewing, hilarious feud between Ashley Judd and Sarah Palin.
After showing their audience the video of Judd calling out Palin for her pro-wolf killing initiatives, the ladies discussed whether or not the actress had a legitimate beef with the former Vice Presidential candidate.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck seemed sympathetic to the cause at first... only to then question how Judd can take issue with the slaughter of wolves, considering how the pro-choice star is clearly fine with the killing of over 200,000 babies each year via abortion.
This might seem like a non-sequitor to some; but Hasselbeck apparently believes that anyone on the side of Roe vs. Wade can't possibly care about the sanctity of any life.
Watch the clip below:
On Monday, Hasselbeck said Michael Phelps' marijuna use left open the issue of whether or not he also used steroids. She's had quite the week.

I am just curious, where and how did this woman become famous. Was it because of the Survivor series. I think this woman is very passionate and committed to her beliefs, but she needs to have some sort of empathy and compassion for people in a different walk of life than her own. I am an avid animal lover, I would do anything to take care of an animal, I dont have children myself at this point in time, but my cat and dogs are treated as close to human as I can without crossing the crazy line. Her comparison of killing wolves to having an abortion is the only word that I can come up with is "crazy". I am almost 28 now, but when I was 20 I was in a horrible relationship, abusive, drugs, and every other thing you can imagine. I taked to my parents and we decided that the most humane thing for me to do was abort the pregnancy. Elizabeth talks about abortion and the women who make this life altering choice as if they are the scum of the earth. I just wonder, should I have brought this baby into the world and take the chance of causing the baby undue harm because of my stupidity, or was it selfish of me to terminate. I guess as a society we will always be conflicted, but I just wish the people that are against this last resort would take a step back and think about the alternatives. I would give anything to have a child right now, but unfortunatly it isnt happening, but according to Elizabeth it is my punishment. My thought is did I really make the same choice with the same impact as killing a wolf to control the carabu (sp??) population. I will never understand the closed mindedness of people who are so passionate about so many things.

It does make me wonder how many women are using abortion as birth control.

I understand completely why Elisabeth Hasselbeck is aggravated by Ashley Judd's PSA. If these same actors that are championing for the protection of animals would also stand up for the lives of unborn babies, it would be a different story. Yet, these actors tend to be pro-choice and would rather be in a PSA for wild life then speak for the 260,000 babies that are being aborted a year. In response to Leanne's comment, I don't understand how abortion was the most humane option for you to take. I have always considered putting the baby up for adoption to be more humane than abortion. I just wish that people cared as much about human life as they do about animal life.

people are missing one thing. Elisabeth supported mccain and palin. It wouldn't matter who it was doing the commercial, she would attack them to. The only thing this girl needs to do is shut up. It is not the killing of animals, it is the way they are being that is the problem.

Here goes Elisabeth again! No matter what a Republician doess it is okay! Ad she, and Srah Palin need to get the facts right.The killinf if wolves have nothing to do with the caribou or moose population. There are far too many ungulates to have the 20 or so pack wolves in Alaska wipe them out. They need a prey-predator situation to keep healthy populations the herd and the land intact. Just see what happened to the ecoogical status of Yellowstone Park when wolves were re-introduced. as for rnchers, they are compensted by Defendrs of Wildlife for any loss of cattle or sheep. These IGNORANT statements are from the mid 1800's!! But the real reason behind wolf and bear slaughterin is of course MONEY! This big, rich people come to Alaska plunk down tons of mula and can kill wildlife to hang the trophy on there wall. These so-called hnuters have no respect for any wildlife and Alaska makes revenue off these hun.ting expeditions. This was going on with prvious governor before Palin,but she pays people for their acts of slaughter- a real bounty hunter! Ask for the abortion- one cannot compare the two- taking a life of an unborn is very differentfrom this whole subject. Ms. Hasselback had no other argument to give. And if she's so concerned about these children, why has she NOT adopted any unwanted babies, or help at a children's shelter,or started a charity for abused children. Just asking?

This has everything to do with Ashley not liking Sarah Palin and nothing to do with the wolves !!! If you think Elisabeth is transparent - please ,,,,

Elisabeth is correct in her assesment actually. Those that have had abortions try to use any excuse they can...hey heres one...if you can't take the responsibility of bringing a helpless, innocent child, into this earth....then stop having sex, and if you do get pregnant and don't want it...hello, it is called adoption, do you know how many people around this country want children but cannot have them...I have friends that have had multiple abortions in the past, but now all of a sudden want children...should they have that right..when they have thrown away so many other oppurtunities?? And all you idiots that protest animal killing but support abortion should be locked away somewhere so you can all cry to each other about this horrible world we live in...THAT IS LIFE...from the beginning of time..we have been eating animals, and hunting them for sport...last time I checked...we don't have game reserves on who can kill the most fetuses or babies(what I like to call them)...because it is not RIGHT..no matter how you try to justify it!

Sorry folks! Ashley Judd is a hypocrite!!!!!!!!!Let me see?? which is more important???An unborn child, or a 'self sufficient"animal who will eat your sorry ass, given half a chance while you're trying to save it from destruction?????? Get the picture yet??? Hello???She and those like her , including "whoopie cushion"!!!!!!!!Does she/he? even have kids??

I have to applaud Elisabeth for taking the perfect opportunity to point out to the world what a sick twit Judd is to "care so much for animals" and not care at all for human life!!!!!!Good job Elisabeth, Don't back down , run her twisted @ss in the dirt. It is murder!!!!Plain and simple . She must of had an abortion to defend it so, probably when she was 12!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just looked at the video again of Judd caterwauling about "how the wolves are hunted down and shot and left to die in the cooolllddd snow" Geez, puke!!Do you think that it might hurt an unborn baby when "doctors"? use a saline solution to dissolve a baby and pull it out limb for limb????She literally makes me sick.What a nut job! Hey Judd, if you really want to care for something, how about human life?Give away some of your money to make a difference to children in the world,or you could adopt every little furry creature in the world and have it live in your mansion and crap everywhere, wouldn't matter, you're full of it anyway!!!
