Dear Lily Allen, Jamie Lynn Spears, and ANYBODY ELSE WITH A UTERUS,
Look, I know Angelina Jolie has like, 15 kids and looks fabulous all the time. I know that Christina Aguilera's baby bump is absolutely adorable. And, I also know that babies are exciting things. They smell nice. They look like you. Plus, nowadays, it's pretty accepted to raise a baby out of wedlock, or to even raise a child by yourself. However. Just because you CAN have a baby, and can afford to have a baby, and want to have a baby doesn't mean that you SHOULD have a baby.
Jamie Lynn Spears has just announced that she's 3 months preggers with her boyfriends baby. Jamie is 16. Her boyfriend is 19. Her sister is BRITNEY SPEARS who is in court because she is an unfit parent. Great family, eh?
Lily Allen, 22, best known for her music, her dirty mouth, and her affinity for smoking and drinking has apparently been sperminated by her 37-year-old boyfriend. A spokesperson for Lily has even confirmed this. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but is she not at the height of her career? Is she not working on her next album? Where does a baby logically fit into all of this?
Babies are not chihuahuas. They are not dresses or a pair of shoes. They are not trendy, they are humans. Forgive me for being so judgey wudgey, but I just do not see how having a baby is within the best interest of these young women, or their future children's.
