Wednesday's broadcast of "The Five" saw a heated debate regarding the draft opinion by The Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Co-hosts Geraldo Rivera and Greg Gutfeld traded jabs while debating abortion.
Rivera, who's pro-choice, criticized Republicans who have responded to the draft opinion by expressing anger at the leak rather than at the impact it will have on women.
"What this shows is that the Senate confirmation process by which a nominee is interrogated by both parties and give their reasons why they are fit to be on the high court is absolutely deeply flawed," Rivera said, per Mediaite.
Furthermore, the Fox News host stated that he has three daughters and has to explain this decision and tell them they don't have control over their bodies, considering they live in Ohio, which has a governor who wants to revive a "fetal heartbeat" bill.
"What am I going to tell my daughters now? That they don't have control over their body? That they can't make those choices for themselves?"
After Rivera's remarks, co-host Greg Gutfeld stepped in and pushed back, saying that pro-life is somewhat upfront with their beliefs.
"You ask somebody why they're pro-life, they will say because abortion takes a life and we believe life is sacred," Gutfeld said. "You could disagree with that, but you can't disagree with the simplicity of it."
Gutfeld then noted the pro-choice cause as being, "I prefer freedom over fetuses." As a result, it led Rivera to cut him off and say, "My body, my choice. How much simpler could you get?" Rivera interrupted.
"Let me finish," Gutfeld protested. "You already did your ad hominem."
"Ad hominem? It was not," Rivera fired back at his co-host. Gutfield then responded, "You insulted a few people there."
