Dear Sheri Shepherd...

Dear Ms. Shepherd,

I recently read an online article that quoted you as saying that you had experienced a low point in your life when you slept with several men and had more abortions than you woud like to count.

My question to you, Ms. Shepherd, is why?  Why would you make a comment about a highly personal event in your life, especially when it is regarding a bitterly divisive subject such as abortion?  Perhaps it was made to encourage the young women in the world who are in similar situations and you seek to inspire them.  But is it necessary for a celebrity to expose their deepest, darkest, most shameful experiences to lift up others?  Is nothing sacred anymore?

A few months ago, when Whoopi Goldberg asked you if the world was flat or round, you admitted you did not know.  You claimed you were too busy raising your children to brush up on second grade geography.

Ms. Shepherd, in my estimation, your job may be in jeaopardy.  As well it should be.  The world needs women on "The View" to be insightful, smart, confident, inspiring, funny and humble.  If you choose not to raise the bar for yourself, could you please do the women of the world a favor and exit stage left?

Sincerely,
REason
