Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren was suspended from hosting her show on The Blaze network this week. On Friday, as a guest on "The View," Lahren expressed that she was pro-choice, because she said it would be hypocritical to be in favor of limited government while at same time supporting policies that restrict a woman's choice.

“You know what?" Lahren said. "I’m for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

The admission has precipitated waves of backlash and a fair amount of conversation: Can you be conservative and pro-choice? Should The Blaze have suspended her? Should feminists defend her? Does this show a rift between religious conservatives, folks like Glenn Beck who founded "The Blaze," and Trump Republicans?

On this week's episode of "Got Your Attention," senior editor Sarah Gray, senior social trends editor Omri Rolan, staff writer Danielle DeCourcey, and staff writer Mike Rothschild discuss the comments and Lahren's suspension.

The cast also tackles Monday's congressional hearing on Russia and the U.S. election, the beef between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj, and why Italy is the healthiest country in the world, according to a new report.

Then, the show returns to the topic of abortion with another pro-choice woman: Sarah Silverman. In an interview with Editor in Chief Matthew Segal, Silverman discusses a plan to regulate men's reproductive rights the same way we with women — aka, a masturbation ban. Silverman and Segal also cover topics like President Donald Trump, free speech, and having children.
