I sort of reminds me of the Quayle Murphy Brown saga.

What would he have Portman do, have a <<gasp>> abortion????

I dont think you get his point. But I cant say that surprises me.

Huckleberry is now a brown nose for the "Birfers" so who cares what he says anyway? I doubt that Natalie Portman has lost any sleep over the comment by the guy who will never be POTUS.

"People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, 'we're not married but we're having these children and they're doing just fine," Huckabee told radio host Michael Medved on his show Monday. "I think it gives a distorted image. It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of- wedlock children."

It is what it is.

Anyone else not voting for this guy besides me? If he happens to run, that is.
I'm not voting for him. But he is right. I'm sure he knows
first hand from being governor of Arkansas. I give the
same criticism to using Bristol Palin as a spoke model
for abstinence. I think young teenagers get a distorted
image with either of those messages.

Need to have a field trip and take them down to the welfare office and just let them sit around there for the day They might even run into someone they know

Default He is either a complete moron or a hypocrite

Natalie Portman is 30 years old, graduated from Harvard, has taken graduate courses, is engaged, and has a net worth of $25 million.

Bristol Palin was still in high school, 17 years old, no job, no skills, no employment experience, a deadbeat for a boyfriend, drinking while pregnant, yet Huckabee chooses to use Portman as an example of the ills of single motherhood.

about the dont breed if you cant feed, that isnt totally accurate.

for example, in africa a women will have 5-6 kids. the reason why they have so many kids is the equivalent of what we call in america, a safety net.

where in america the safety net is money, in developing countries it is the numerous children who will take care of the mother when she is older.

the main reason women in africa have multiple children is because birth control is not readily available. more infants die in infancy is another factor.

incorrect. its the safety net which i stated earlier.

you are semi correct when you say they have more due to the probability of death.

the main reason why they have so many though is the safety net.

so you have talked to scores of child bearing women in africa that told you they have children so hopefully one of them will take care of them in their old age? do you have a link that backs up this claim or is this just a guess on your part.
