Manilow makes a stand
Manilow refuses to be interviewed!
Manilow said, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she’s dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her… I cannot compromise my beliefs."
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the problem for him.
On an episode which aired on August 2, 2006, Hasselbeck got into a heated debate in which she strongly opposed the Food and Drug Administration’s plan to sell the "morning after pill" as an over-the-counter drug. Hasselbeck stated, "I believe that life begins at the moment of conception…" She said the pill should be banned in cases of rape and incest, because "that life still has value."
For me it’s a choice thing. Women need to have control over their own bodies and fertility. I don’t have the right to make that choice for anyone but myself but I strongly believe that the choice should be easily available to any woman that wants to make it. Anyone that needs to make that choice should have our support, not be villified and made to feel even worse about what she is doing.
Nice one Barry, I can’t stand your music but I applaud your stand on this.
