Sarah Palin's
pregnant 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, proved to be quite the "hot topic" on ABC's
The View on Tuesday.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck blasted "left-wing liberals" for "looking down on the fact that she's going to have a child" when "she's giving [a baby] a chance at life."
Whoopi Goldberg said she hoped the girl had a choice in whether or not she wanted to have the child.
"What I wish is that everyone has the choice to make that decision and that that doesn't go away," she said.
"Sarah Palin is a woman who has children and has a strong family, but every kid who gets pregnant does not have that," she added. "Sometimes having a child is not the best thing for the kid.
Goldberg continued, "I hope this girl has made a choice because I know a lot of people want to get rid of choice ... I hope it stays with us."

Barbara Walters asked her co-hosts, "If you were going to vote for Hillary [Clinton], in part because she was a woman, would you automatically transfer your vote to the governor?"
Hopefully not, said Hasselbeck.
"To say those woman would automatically shift to another woman I believe undermines the intelligence of the female vote," she said.
