"&lt;img alt=\"0807-the-view-fight-01\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2014/08/07/0807-the-view-fight-4.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rosie O'Donnell&lt;/strong&gt; got into a heated showdown over abortion with CNN's &lt;strong&gt;S.E. Cupp&lt;/strong&gt; during a 'View' test show taping with &lt;strong&gt;Whoopi Goldberg&lt;/strong&gt; ... who ended up taking a thinly-veiled shot at &lt;strong&gt;Barbara Walters&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Production sources at &lt;strong&gt;\"The View\"&lt;/strong&gt; tell us Cupp -- who's vying for the conservative role on the show -- had a \"nasty\" debate yesterday over the Australian couple making headlines for asking their surrogate to abort a Down syndrome baby. &amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told things escalated when Whoopi jumped in and asked Cupp if&lt;em&gt; she&lt;/em&gt; ever had to make a decision about abortion. That shut everyone up momentarily ... until Rosie chastised Cupp, saying she didn't want another &lt;strong&gt;Elisabeth Hasselbeck&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's where Babs comes in. After the taping ... Whoopi -- in front of producers and several potential replacement hosts -- said she'd been \"working with a cranky 85-year-old woman who's mad about everything for 2 years, and I need a break.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hard to tell who Whoopi was really upset with -- Rosie or Cupp -- but the shot at Barbara was undeniable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Cupp ... doesn't sound like she left on Rosie's good side -- but then again ... that may be exactly what \"The View\" needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
