Everyone has an opinion on this week's huge celebrity news: the Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant story. It's even spilled over into the presidential campaign.
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist minister and the former governor of Arkansas, recently picked up the endorsement of Chuck Norris. Now he's entered the fray on the Jamie Lynn Spears situation.
And while the candidate has been notably caught off-guard by breaking news in recent weeks, he passed this test of pop culture with flying colors.
News of Britney Spears' younger sister's pregnancy broke early this week and is in all the tabloids, including OK! Magazine. On the campaign trail in Iowa, Mike Huckabee was asked how he felt about - what else - pregnant Jamie Lynn.
Even White House hopeful Mike Huckabee is weighing in on Jamie Lynn.
While Huckabee's answer may have fit any out-of-wedlock teenager in the same situation as the younger Spears, the candidate commented with confidence:
"In my mind it's a tragedy when a 16-year-old who is not really prepared for all the responsibilities of adult life is going to be now faced with all of the many responsibilities of honest-to-goodness adult life," he told CBS News.
"Apparently, she's going to have the child and I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it," Mike Huckabee continued. "I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action. But at the same time I'm not going to condemn her."
"There'll be plenty of people in line to do that and I always look for the shortest lines. I just hope that she will make another right decision and that's to give that child all the love and kindness and care that she can."
What do you think? Should Jamie Lynn Spears keep the baby?

OMG i cant believe this i would think that she would be a really good kid. Me and my boyfriend Mike would never do this to me i mean seriously always wear a condom if you want to have sex and you wont be pregnant at 16.

I,think that Jamie isn't ready for a child.The reason is because she's still a child and have many things to life then a child well at this age!!!I know that if she sticks with having the child she would have family and friends to help her trough the whole thing. Jamie i hope that you are ready4 this..And those at the top ^ need to mind you biz because what ever THE to sisters decide to do whit THERE sex life don't matter to us and we her fans should be trying to help her with all of this...

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work. 10 For if one of them should fall, the other one can raise his partner up. But how will it be with just the one who falls when there is not another to raise him up? - Ecclesiastes 4:9,10

I think that this is just a publicity thing and that she is going to "lose" the baby before she starts showing.
