About her stage surname, she claimed in 2011, "My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name—it's part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black," and "I just know I am Jewish.
In 1991, Goldberg spoke out about her abortion in The Choices We Made: Twenty-Five Women and Men Speak Out About Abortion. In that book, she spoke about using a coat hanger to terminate a pregnancy at age 14. She said she had had six or seven abortions by the age of 25 and that birth control pills failed to stop several of her pregnancies.
Not that it really matters, whoopi is a nickname given to her for her frequent, audible flatulence growing up. Which really just makes her more vile, imo.
Her/he/its real name is Karen Johnson, not very catholic either tho?

BTW:
If birth control fails several of your pregnancies then you’re a moron that is using birth control wrong.
Sorry I misspelled her first name, it is spelt Caryn but pronounced Karen.
