Duplicity

The Immaculate Conception is about Mary being born into this world free from Original Sin. It has NOTHING to do with how Jesus was conceived. This is a common misunderstanding of a basic Catholic teaching. Ignorance CAN be corrected by education. Disdain of another's misfortune is an act of ego that Jesus spoke directly to when He asked for anyone who was without sin to cast the first stone against a person who everyone knew had sinned. Some of you are so free with the stones of your tongues. I believe that Elizabeth was trying to make the comparison of the WAY that Mary was treated by those of her day who judged her with disdain. The point is this...how would YOU judge Mary if she were here today? Most of the people of her time had NO idea of the nature of her child. Pray for Jamie Lynn and her child. Don't condemn her. And pray that when YOU make a mistake you won't be in a situation where YOU are subject to the judgement of people who are as devoid of mercy as some of you are.

I'd probably screw her, all else being equal, though she seems to be an totally uninteresting person. Nice teeth; not much else going for her. But a pleasant way to spend a half hour for a dollar or two. Cheap whore.

How did she get pregnant?? How about, in the usual way? Insert the lingam in the yoni. Move. Wait. Etc. It eventually gets sort of boring, unless you're sixteen!

Then you can charge millions for the tapes!

My God, you people are retarded!!!! Adolescents screw. That's what they were designed to do! When their publicists forget to get them to take their pills, it's called malpractice, not sin! Take a pill!

Them Christians sure is cute!!!! Any chance of pix of her and Berlinerblau doing the you know?? The Thing??? Big Bucks!!!!

Guess us libruls caused another PURE CHRISTIAN GIRL to stray! She made millions at it! Where's our percentage??

Dear Elizabeth:
Your column is retarded.
Recently had to pick up my eighth grade son from school and noticed all the eighth grade girls had their mojo working overtime. They did not look like children. The boys did, but not the girls. I thought what do 14 girls do with so much mojo working? Jamie Lynn answers that question.
Teen pregnancy is a serious problem.
More importantly, the law regarding sex with underage girls need to be adjusted to reality. Either that or these girls need to be punished for having sex before they are legally allowed to just like the boys who have sex with them.
It's okay for Genarlow Wilson, a black kind from Georgia, to go to prison for consensual oral sex at age 17 with 15-year-old girl, but Jamie getting nailed when she is 15 by an 18 year old and that's okay? Everyone knows that is illegal. All the boys 18 know that. But it's okay if the boy is white and from the south because truth of the matter is white girls in the deep south generally start having sex by the time they are 3 years old. That's three, as in one two three. With their brothers. Ain't that right good ole boys?

How Jamie Summers get preggnamt? SHe bionical woman who jump fences and things and stuff. She fight bad man. She mighty strong with bioncal arms and legs and magic ear. She pretty. Why make her with baby? She be fat soon and not binocal. I like the bionalcal woman show.

Frank,

This act of stautory rape wouldn't demand a penalty of $25,000 because JL's boyfriend is not 21, but his actions could subject him to a fine of $5,000 or $10,000, depending on the age difference.

OK people, who knows their ages?

One thing for sure. The parenting book written by the Spears' old lady will fly off the shelves and overload Amazon.com. It will the biggest "how not to" ever written. It's title should be,"HOW NOT TO PARENT FOR DUMMIES."

$25,000??? That is one expensive roll in the hay.

;)

FEMINIST?

WHAT does THAT word have to do with ANYTHING in REALITY?

The woman is having an unplanned pregnancy. This happens to good christian girls every day because abstinence is against the laws of nature, regardless of what the TV preacher says, and TV preacher's don't like condoms. Nor the Catholic church. Unplanned pregnancy is the result.

The morality plus here in America is that she is allowed by rule of law to decide what she will do next.

Since she has decided to keep the baby we'll be saved from images of Larry Craig and other politicians pounding the bible in outright hypocrisy, and flashbacks to Terry Schiavo.

FEMINISM? You DO know that Gloria Steinem is a hypocrite panderer of a failed ideology built on hate, low self esteem, and facist seperatism who went ahead and got married to a man after all, right?

OHHHH you missed that hypocrisy part, huh? Yup she's a failed hypocrite just like her ideology is a failed hypocrisy.

This should be as convicting for both society and Christians and here is why. As a Christian, I should know that I have been told by my Lord to NOT judge people because I am a sinner and am therefore not qualified to serve as a judge. We should feel sorry for Ms Spears (both of them) and do everything in our power to help them find their way and not worry about their sin. As a society, we need to be concerned with a trend that I have been made aware of by my wife (who has taught school in a number of places in the last decade) and that is the decreasing in age of the children who are at least trying to have sex. She has seen an ever larger number of children from grades 8 to 6 get pregnant. She has also had to report and stop more than a few elementary school kids from having sex as well. The most disturbing situation is with the 5 year old who has been caught multiple times in the bathroom and classroom with both male and female students engaging in oral sex. I personally think the only way abstinence eduacation can work is with a precipitous decrease in sexual themes in TV, movies, and the Internet. Otherwise, children are going to get conflicting messages and start having sex earlier and earlier and will be not at all equipped to provide emotionally for their babies. What do think about that issue?

As an aside, Fusar, you strike me as a crackpot.

But in any event I believe under California law JL's boyfriend has committed statutory rape. It is surely a misdeameanor and could be a felony, depending on whether he is more than 3 years older than JL (see below). I know she's 16 and he's 19. Anyone know their respective birthdates? I think this guy will be prosecuted.

Excerpts from California Penal Code regarding sex with minors:

"(a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person who is at least 18 years of age.

(b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(c) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is more than three years younger than the perpetrator is guilty of either a misdemeanor or a felony, and shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison.

(d) Any person 21 years of age or older who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is under 16 years of age is guilty of either a misdemeanor or a felony, and shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.

(e)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, an adult who engages in an act of sexual intercourse with a minor in violation of this section may be liable for civil penalties in the following amounts:

(A) An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000).

(B) An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000).

(C) An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least three years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

(D) An adult over the age of 21 years who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16 years of age is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000)."

A friend of mine recently bemoaned the fact that his cat kept having kittens. I told him to cheer up, as they know what causes that now; he finally took her to the vet, and, ta-dah! no more kittens.

For anyone at the age of 16 in this culture to say they were surprised to get pregnant, well, they know what causes that now.

And there are multiple ways to prevent it.

Have those of you who condemn Jamie Spears forgotten that she is still a 16-year-old girl? Yes, she's rich and famous, but she's still a girl, and she's probably doing some major soul-searching right now. Would you say such horrible things about your own daughter if she made such a mistake. No, you wouldn't.

Shame on all of you.

And, I'd like to suggest that Ms Tenety choose a new vocation because she seems ill-equipped for a career in journalism. Her "article" here seems like something she must have cranked out in a hurry. Maybe she was studying for her finals and suddenly remembered that she had to to her piece for the Post. "Ugh," she thought, "What's timely? What's in the news that I can I twist into some sort of clever analogy about Christmas? AHA! I'll just feed off of Jamie Lynn Spears' problems and act like I care!"

Shame, shame, shame.

N O R R I E, H O Y T, et al;Interesting: Under SAUDI ARABIA 'Sexual religious Consent decree' that

folks like the AYATOLLA of Iran & sheiks of Arabia's Married (9) NINE YEAR OLD girls , like Mr. Muhammad did.

So why is the excuse ,'Married' & then 'Illegal' their way of hiding such PEDAPHILIA atrocities via 'SHARIA' [Islams Rule by Religion , aka THEOCRACY, not DEMOCRACY??!]?????

Imagine if little Sister JAMIE LYNN was swept off her feet, via Parents consent? recieving big money or favors,?, and then preagnant at say 10 years old?! Imagine???

Yea! That's what they do so;

VOTE: DOWN with THEOCRACY & MONARCHY in all MIDDLE EAST now!

DOWN with SHARIA, not Arabs!

DOWN with IRAN, not PERSHIANS!

VOTE: ((((( Peace Love Rockn Roll nRapm, Mitt_ROMNEY for Prez 08 YEA! Thank You. )))))))))

WARNING!!!

GOD IS ON THE LOOSE!!!

LOCK UP YOUR CHILDREN!!!

CALL THE POLICE!!!

It appears that we all have opinions (yes, even me). Why do you all focus so hard on contraceptive? Maybe she was using both birth control & a condom, but it didn't work this time. Everyone has to put in their 2 cents like it matters.

We love to blame and don't care about the real issue at hand. We stab at the symptoms and leave the real problem unresolved, because we think we know better or just don’t care. Real Christians, for the most part, have become silent due to fear, and the so-called Christians have made all Christians the laughing stock and not to be taken serious due to hypocrisy. The problem is that culture truly has a great dislike for the Christian teachings and morals. They are not taught, but now a watered down version is everywhere in various forms. This watered down version, call it something else, but don’t call it Christianity. We all know we are no longer a Christian nation. Most don’t read the Bible for any excuse they want to give. Morals are slowly being systematically removed.

We teach kids to use condoms to avoid STD’s and pregnancies. I think it’s because parents don’t really want a challenge from their kids that comes from the teaching of abstinence. We’re too preoccupied with ourselves and our goal of building up the empire. We don’t have time to teach or to fight those that don’t want to be taught. Yes, we allow the few atheists to take away our rights to pray in school, make it a stumbling block in the workplace, but that’s not enough for them. Don’t make them feel guilty, because they don’t want a conscience. They want to live in Sodom or Gomorrah. We’ve allowed the power to be taken from the schools, police, parents, and the PEOPLE. We elect the supposed lesser of two evils, but it’s still evil. Why let them get that far? They call Christians intolerant, but honestly the liberals are. Christians should be peaceful and understanding, but they see it as weakness and pray upon them. They can’t stand to be defeated by what they view as weak. Christians either speak up for your rights and have faith and courage, or shut up and deal with the situation that you don’t want to change.

No, I’m not a good Christian role model. Sometimes I place myself in the wanna-be category. I stumble and fail. I’m one of the thousands of Jonas that are either turning away from doing God’s will, or already in the belly of the whale. It’s time to pray and turn away from our fears. Let us take back the country. There’s hope still. Look around people are so-called Christians or wanna-be’s like me. Let us band together, become informed, and take action. Let us be real children of God.

Our laws should not just be the minimum standards we can bear; otherwise, we allow this country to become a bottom feeder. Oh wait… that’s what we are. It’s time for a change. Here’s a place I love to get the facts: “http://www.aclj.org/” and “http://www.family.org/”. If that’s not for you then help in little ways like giving to orphans and the poor. Do your research on each charity to make sure they really use the money wisely, or help out your community.

Poor Jamie Lynn! I hope they leave her alone. Yes, she messed up, but it’s not the end of the world. Is it right to correct one wrong or sin (pre-marital sex) with another (abortion)? If your answer is yes, then you need to wake up and smell the coffee the Devil is brewing. The Devil loves destruction. His grip on this world is for a little while. Jamie needs your prayers at this time. I’m sure she has fears untold. It’s Christmas, give her the gift of prayer. Let the love of Jesus Christ shine. Peace!

"Christians have a special sympathy for unmarried pregnant teenagers, "

Really??!! Surely you jest. From what I have seen Christians have a special type of loathing and moral repugnance not only for pregnant unwed teens but also for anyone who practices sex outside of the confines of marriage. And add to that the restriction that birth control cannot be used and you have an ancient, out-of-date, morally judgemental system of values which is, in some part, responsible for situations like Jamie Lynn. The Catholic church needs to join the 21st century, purge itself of some of its most damaging and out of date policies, especially with regards to the use of birth control and unwed sex.

Surely Ms. Tenety is not a real person. Surely she is a fictional character created by Christopher Hitchens to post commentaries on the Internet in the name of Christianity in order to embarrass Christians. Surely this is a sick joke.

No human being could believe that an out-of-wedlock, unplanned teenage pregnancy is some sort of blessed event. No human being who can ties their shoelace cold ignore all the accumulated evidence of what a disaster illegitimate babies are for themselves and the society into which they are born. In the annals of statistics on human behavior, there is no greater predictor of future failure than to be born illegitimate. Your chances of getting an education, a good job, and, in general, of leading a successful, productive life are significantly reduced if you are born illegitimately. On the other hand, your chances of dropping out of high school and becoming a criminal or a dope fiend—in general, becoming a failure—are significantly increased if you are born illegitimately. The downside of all the above is increased even more if you are born out-of-wedlock to a teenager.

Ms. Spears has given us a pluperfect example of gross immaturity, irresponsibility, and selfishness. This is pure hedonism by a rich, spoiled wretch of a human being who does not believe that the rules of common decency apply to her. This is narcissism taken to the level of clinical psychosis. Surely, some court ought to declare the Spears sisters mentally and morally incompetent and declare them wards of the court until they learn the basic requirements for being responsible adults.

But I would agree that Ms. Spears is not the real monster here. The real monster is the media that feeds on the garbage that spews forth from this benighted family. Britney, Jamie, and their mother have offered proof positive that you don’t have to be poor to be white trash. Because that’s the essence of what the Spears are. Pure white trash, acting out in reality the type of lifestyles that one would have thought only a third-rate novelist could have created for a bunch of ignorant, immoral trailer trash to live if they suddenly found themselves rich beyond imagining. What a stunning commentary on the sewer in which our media and entertainment industry wallow, that these despicable beings have been elevated to cultural icons.

But then—who sustains that media and the entertainment industry? You got it. The American public. The people who surpass all understanding in their desire to know the daily actions of debased denizens like Britney Spears. The people who watch “Entertainment Tonight,” and TMZ, and buy PEOPLE and US magazines. Unless the rest of us begin pushing back, not only by ourselves ignoring these people and refusing to buy their garbage, but by organizing boycotts of the networks and the magazines and the sponsors who sustain them, we will continue to witness the vulgarization, debasement, and trashing of our popular culture.

As a first step, let’s all do our part to send Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears into the obscurity they so richly deserve. Above all, let us not see Jamie but anything but the pathetic spoiled slut she is. Let’s make it clear that we will boycott any TV network and the sponsors of any program on which Jamie appears.

These are the translated words of God in the Quran regarding sex outside of marriage and claiming slander against innocent woman such as Maryam; also the verse stating that Maryam was pure and chosen.

17:32 And come not near unto adultery/fornication. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way.

24:2 The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.

24:4 And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-

24:5 Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct); for Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

____________________

God's WORDS exclaiming that Maryam, mother of Jesus (ahs), was innocent and pure in translation:

3:42 And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.

Actually, according to the Holy Quran, God HATES sex outside of marriage. It DISPLEASES HIM. And those guilty of sex outside of marriage who were virgins deserve 100 lashes according to HIS WORDS.

This is a FAR FAR FAR cry from any comparison with Maryam (as), mother of Jesus (Isa), who God calls one of the best women of all womankind. Maryam was pure and innocent and pious and from an excellent, pious, righteous family.

Jamie Lynn Spears committed a major sin for which she should repent and show geniune remorse. Because it is possible that her sinful example will serve to inspire other teens to do the same, she should publicly show remorse and dissuade others from doing as she has done.

AS WELL, the boyfriend ALSO deserves 100 lashes according to God's word in the Quran. And HE TOO should make public remorse to dissuade others from doing what he has done.

Instead in America, they will likely both get more media attention, their careers will improve and both will likely make more money from their sin. They should both donate the wealth they gain from their new media attention and boosts in their careers to charities helping orphan, poor, and fatherless children.

Edward J Cunningham
I'm cuious to know where in the Bible does it say that Mary the mother of Christ Jesus was of immaculate conception?

She is just another pregnant teenager, and not worthy of reporting. It's just more scandle put out by the MSM to avoid doing real news, like why the presidents administration is in on destroying evidence of torture, or how the constitution keeps being desicrated by this currupt president, or how our rights and freedoms are continually being curtailed for the illusion of security.

ho-bag?
The GOD(not god),creator of heaven and earth and the oceans and all that dwells within,loves that girl.

FACTS, NOT ARGUMENT, FOR A CHANGE:

An earlier poster stated that the young lady in question, at 16, was below the age of consent when she became pregnant.

Not so. The age of consent in most American states is 16 or less, including in Mississippi.

Check out http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm, which lists the ages of consent for all countries.

The usual age worldwide is also 16 or less.

Very Roman Catholic but also very realistic Italy sets the age of consent at 14.

Something to think about.

What about criminal charges? Responsibility of the parents and the father of this baby? I am tired of people think that "oh, this will never happended in my neighboorhod". Birth control? No..what about teaching abstaining until marriage?

Read this:
Wilson v. State was a Georgia court case brought about to appeal the aggravated child molestation conviction of Genarlow Wilson.

Wilson had been convicted of aggravated child molestation because, at the age of seventeen, he had engaged in oral sex with a consenting fifteen-year-old at a New Year's Eve party. Wilson was African American as was the fifteen-year-old as reported by Georgia news outlets, The Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press[1][2][3][4] although ABC News reported that she was white.[5]

At the time of his conviction, provisions for similarity in age that allowed underage consent to be taken into account were only applicable to vaginal sex. Because the case involved oral sex the consent of the girl was not at that time legally relevant.[6][7]

On October 26, 2007, the Georgia State Supreme Court ruled that Wilson's sentence was cruel and unusual ("grossly disproportionate"). He was released later that day

Point of fact is that the WORD OF GOD teaches love and forgivness. All have sinned and all fall short of the glory (righteousness) of GOD.
Not all will inherit eternal life.
How about, he who is free of sin cast the first stone.
Fornication is a sin!
Adultry is a sin.
homosexuality is a sin.
lying is a sin.
cheating on ones income tax is a sin
have we all allways respected our parent/parents.
A haughty spirit is an abomination to our father in heaven.
do we love GOD (THE FATHER OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
CHRIST JESUS) with all our hearts, all our souls?

We all needed to be saved from our selves, from the lust of our flesh.
shame on all of us for allowing the things that influence our young people to sin. And our CULTURE reveles in it!

The word of GOD TEACHES US TO BE HUMBLE,TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS WE LOVE OUR SELVES, TO LOVE THE SINNER AND HATE THE SIN.
WHO OF YOU OUT THERE IS FREE OF SIN?
JUDGE NOT, LEST YOU BE JUDGED. WHETHER YOU WHERE CREATED A GIRL OR BOY.

Louisiana white trash.

trailer trash with money is still trailer trash

How sad that this child was allowed, by a foolish mother, to "date" an older guy who legally could be charged with a crime. How sad that young people who are neither emotionally or physically ready for sex think that it is fine (and how pathetic that many adults do as well). This young woman is making the best of a bad situation; she could easily have decided to privately kill the growing child in her womb. For her decision, we should praise her and use her situation as yet another chance to discuss sex and abstinance and the ramifications of both with our children. Mine learned about sex at age 5 (gradually). One is age 13 now and the other is age 7. They know about the double standard, being used, date rape drugs, rape, what God and their parents want them to do (not that they will listen; kids always think they know everything) and the emotional lows that too often come with young sex (as a high school teacher I saw firsthand the pros for guys and the cons for girls). Ms. Spears should be praised for not killing her growing child; she is mature and compassionate in that sense. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she allowed the baby to be raised by a loving, mature, non-Hollywood couple who cannot give birth themselves? God bless this young woman during this time. May she make the best decision for her child...

"Feminists For Life" (i.e. Feminists Against Abortion) are not feminists. Ms. Tenety has found the magic key to getting her Stepford Girl views published in the Washington Post. A real feminist who knows something about pregnancy would define the so-called "abortion issue" as a problem of unregulated male fertility. Men are on average bigger and stronger than women and have, based on that brute fact, both physical and social power to coerce their female targets - and then refuse to allow them to undo the pregnancy they never sought. A real feminist would call men's bluff on the fact that every abortion represents an occasion when a man chose not to contracept. A real feminist would not be welcome on the Op-Ed or Religion pages of the Washington Post. For further confirmation of this reality, go to the Washington Post male reviewer's droolingly fond review of the much ballyhooed movie "Juno" about, guess what, a pregnant 16-year-old girl.

This is a joke right?

Just proves my point. Parents should have psychological testing for competency to produce children.

In this case, both Spears parents and the Spears girls...children...immaturely developed kids.

Was there a guy involved in getting little Jamie Lynn pregnant?

What's purple and is 3 years older than his girlfriend?

Statutory Grape.

one things Christians fail to realize, is that it is NOT there place to judge anyone, when you point fingers your acting as God, and that there is a sin in itself, yes its a sin to bear child unwed, but its not no ones place to say so....the last time I was up to date on the bible, there is not one sin that can not be forgiven.....

Hello All,
This girl is an unfortunate sibling of a stupid slutty skank. She has been influenced in the wrong path...by her older sister.

A shameful reflection on the lack of morals in America.

Tragic...

eric,

"Why should celebrities have to live politically correct lives when we don't have to?"

that's the problem. we should have to live politically correct lives. what has this society become when people can be so amoral?

For anyone who believes in the wonder of life, Jamie Lynn must be praised for her stand instead of taking the easy way out in an abortion. All the standard forms of family and life are taken from boxes constructed by people with no experience at all in situations like this. It is Jamie's decision and what right do we have to question her on something so personal and so wonderful, come what may.

Good thing shes not Muslim eh?

If getting raped gets you 200 lashes in Arab land I imagine a unwed pregnancy equals the loss of a head.

The shame is on all of us who are interested in a non story like this. Who cares what some dumb 16 year old did with her life? She is probalby having a great laugh at this moment at how people are talking about her in Washingtonpost.com. Doesn't this newspaper, supposedly the one of the best in the "greatest nation on earth". have anything better to write about? Does it all care if about ratings or how many clicks its website gets? Shame on Washingtonpost!!!!!!!!!!!!11'

Ms Tenety,
a good journalist should be able to differentiate fac ts from fictions. What the Gospels are ?
Also a good journalist should research: is the mind of 16 years old person- in present times-
fit for motherhood and at the same time happily maturing into adulthood?

I just feel bad for Jamie Lynn and Brittney's parents.....how can you raise BOTH of your children like that?

"Trailer Trash"? Ha, Interesting! Ya!

Cassandra: ::

"....I am a 15 year old teenager..."

you--cassandra--are a 15 yr old that NEEDS TO LEARN TO SPELL!!!

Who wants to wiast their time on stupid teenagers?Teens like Liz are a big waist of time.
I am a 15 year old teenager and I think that teens that decide to have sex are just sick and disgusting people-espesially since they are never married. "Aciddental pregnency?" @#!^*@#*^!
Chiah! Whatever! Acident my ass! Every one in the Spears family should be ashamed and, in my opinion, the whole lot of them are trailer trash.
Brit didnt set the best example for Liz, either.
And Brit is one of the worst singers ever!

Ms. Tenety,
1. Nice try at a "hook"- Jesus born to an unwed mother. However, Mary and Joseph were betrothed -- and in their society, a betrothal required a divorce to untie it. Yes, Mary was unwed, but her virginity is a matter of faith, and not to be misunderstood by a 20-21st century sense of the word "unwed."
2. People don't "lose" their virginity unless it is taken from them by force.
3. Jamie Lynn may be "in step" with her peers, but not enough attention has been paid to her family environment. Why do I say this?
[4a] Many years ago, Britney commented that the family sometimes walked around the house in the nude.
[4b] BS has allegedly continued this practice, according to papers filed by K-Fed in their child custody fight.
[5] Someone raised in such an environment has a warped psychosexual development.
[6] "Boyfriend" or not, I should hope that the proper authorities will investigate this as a possible statutory rape. Statutes should always trump so-called "consensuality"

KEWL... IT IS !so! CHRISTIAN for 16 yr olds to become baby factories...

...kewl...keep the women in the kitchen..

...SO CHRISTIAN!!!

It's sad how sarcastic and cynical society is. I can't stand celebrity worship, but the bottom line is that, hey, they're human. (I can hear you all cracking up; you know you just watch these people because they make you feel better about yourselves.) Maybe it's a crazy ideal nowadays, but I really don't want to see people hurting. The writer is saying she hopes that a tough situation this girl is going through can be made into a positive situation. I really don't see what's wrong with that at all.

Considering that she was too stupid to figure out birth control, I do not have high hopes for her child.

When my first Girfriend got knocked-up [both 19] Rhonda, behind my back , had an quick abotrion via help of her parents. It's always bothered. But after 20 years later "i" found out that the fetus was not mine! Wow. My destiny would have been different.

So When "i" knock-up my 2nd girfriend [she was 17 & "i' was 21] guess what? "i" was told she was preagnant & ran with her (Reba) to a Justice of the Peace (had to get certified & verified legal permission from her parents, my parents were Crazy for Her] and so we got married! Wow What a beautiful 'Carrot Head' Son that our MEMETICS made Us. That was best to marry! Yet We got Divorced quick too.

Note: i've been Married three times & Divorced. But;

When One {a Mavorite, aka MAN} makes them [Baby(s)] then one [who makes them] must raise them 'THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY'!

Changing Diaper's is not so boaring & take care of your own kids is high of its own! aka O.U.R. MIRACLE in MOTION!

PS: Thank G-D for "D*N*A* PATTERNITY [cheap] TESTING KITS! .

Important: When one wants to know if child/Babby is your , that are two types of Documents attesting to the Statistical & Permuatating Probabilities' that DNA test can be 'Regular without PRESCRIPTION (for PRivate verification or satisfaction) or one can get a 'PRESCRIPTION' [Court Ordered via Family Court, Tribunal et al] so that in case of Visitation, Child Support, Divorce and or seperation, then a Court Ordered Paternity test is needed.

So Paternity or Inquiries of DNA come in a PRIVATE Fact & in a PUBLIC matter of fact!

YES! A lot of Unsuspecting 'DADDY's" are raising kids that are not theirs! In N.Y.C., it is like 5% are raising bastards! Wow 'Bastards' is become such an ugly word in the 21st Century ate?

Note: YOU MAKE THEM, then YOU RAISE THEM! [atleast Help them (kids) out , even from a distance].

Bobby-

just because you might have waited for sex doesn't mean the majority of teens do. because they don't. sure a few may wait, but the rest will have sex. Abstinance only sex-ed is complete crap, if people followed the rule "no glove no love" we wouldn't have people getting knocked up as much.

Fact is, she's not at all typical. She's rich, rich, rich (albeit exploited in a sophisticated way). But unlike most pregnant teens, she'll be able to afford whatever she wants to make motherhood a breeze compared with the typical high school age mother.

Hey, this is par for the course. Most young girls with an older sister grows up idolizing her. Big Sister Brittany has not been setting the best example of being a role model. While there is plenty of blame to go around in the Spears' family, we have to blame a lot on our society. Sex among teens is about as common as the cold. Look at the trends in the dress today. Our kids are walking advertisements for sex. Listen to the music, Alyiah for instance ("Rock the boat, work the middle, change positions") AIDS does not scare anyone these days. Some are willing to roll the dice. If the young lady had any other common last name, she would become another statistic. But we seem to feast on the lives of "stars." This is no reason to celebrate, it is time to pray. Hopefully, our teens in America will see the damaging effects of this young lady (and young man's) action and change their ways.

Actually, for health reasons, teenagers are the only ones who should get pregnant. The human body begins to decay after age 19.

Good Christian values as these young people met in Church. Now Americans celebrate this action as they do Britney. This young man has no worries as White kids don't get charged with underage sex. But now Black young men who obey the Republican Christian law or as we're seen they will go to jail for 20 years if they have sex. Yes this is the example of the Republican Christian Values of America. Rev. Huckabee's son David tortured and kill a dog and Daddy had is case squashed. Michael Vick did the same thing and goes to jail. Welcome to the Bush Administration's new American. Where lying and sex even child molestation like with Fingers Foley is legal, hiring prostitutes like Senator Vitter and of course solicitation for sex in the men's room like Larry Craig. If a Black person blinks and eye in America he/she will got to jail.
