In just three years, Tomi Lahren has become the conservative right’s outspoken golden girl by passionately defending gun rights, Donald Trump’s policies, and criticizing political movements such as the Women’s March and Black Lives Matter. But she was forced to defend herself from her own fans after she admitted to being pro-choice on women’s rights to abortion during her appearance on “The View” on Friday. “I’m pro-choice and here’s why,” Lahren said during the show’s “Political View” segment. “I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think that the government should decide what women should do with their bodies,” Lahren explained. “I can say, you know what, I am for limited government so stay out of my guns and you can stay out of my body as well.” Lahren has previously criticized the pro-choice movement both on Twitter and on TheBlaze, where she once called pro-choice supporters “straight up baby killers.” So it came as a surprise to many conservatives who didn’t realize Lahren identified as a pro-choice Republican. Many of them criticized Lahren for appearing to flip-flop on the issue of abortion, while some argued that her comments on “The View” made her lose credibility as a conservative. Conservative news personality Tomi Lahren spoke out on The View about her pro-choice stance on abortion, which may seem surprising, considering her right-wing track record. But she says it’s her very conservatism that makes her believe government should permit women to terminate pregnancies. A self-described “constitutional conservative,” Lahren is popular for her often controversial commentary on the right-wing site The Blaze. There, she hosts a series of videos taking down liberal issues — she’s called Black Lives Matter “the new KKK,” vocalized strong support for Donald Trump and for gun rights. “I’m pro-choice, and here’s why. I’m someone that’s for limited government. So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies. I can sit here and say that, as a Republican and I can say, you know what, I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body, as well.” Tomi Lahren’s appearance on The View Friday morning caused quite a stir, as I wrote about here. Although a self-described conservative, Ms. Lahren was quick to tell the eager audience that she was “pro-choice”, and said the following: Tomi has been all over the map with the abortion issue in the past year. This should not be the case. During the December 22, 2016 “Final Thoughts” segment on her show, she rightly targeted pro-abort Lena Dunham who stated on a podcast that she wished she’d had an abortion. This woman, and I use the term loosely, single-handedly kills legitimacy of the modern-day feminist movement every time she speaks. …does she realize how damaging she is to her own narrative? Think about it: the “pro-choicers” are supposed to be about rare and safe abortions. That’s how they avoid sounding like straight-up baby killers… Then we have Lena freakin’ Dunham out there wishing she could have murdered a fetus. Wishing for the option to kill your child doesn’t exactly say much about the cause, her character, or the pro-choice movement. And here I thought the loving Left…were all about peace, and love, and light, except when it comes to the unborn, I suppose. Then it’s a different story, a story they write and rewrite to fit their narrative… Hey, Tomi? Saying you’re pro-choice three months after slamming that very movement doesn’t say much about your character, either. Except that you’re a spotlight-loving chameleon whose opinions change based on the crowd you’re playing to. On Friday, you had liberal hosts and a mostly liberal crowd ready to pounce. You caved, for what? For the applause that would be sure to follow as liberal women shook their head in agreement and marveled at a young.
