Mike Huckabee Calls Out Natalie Portman for Premarital Pregnancy
by Hilton Hater at .Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has made it clear: he has an issue with unmarried, unashamed, wealthy women who tell the world about their pregnancy.
It's clear to whom he's referring, right? Incredibly, no.
The likely 2012 Presidential candidate went on Michael Medved's radio show Monday and somehow called out Natalie Portman, not a certain daughter of a certain reality star who has raked in seven figures by posing on tabloid covers with her child.
"People see a Natalie Portman who boasts*, 'We're not married but we're having these children and they're doing just fine," Huckabee said. "I think it gives a distorted image. It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of-wedlock children."
(*Note: Portman has never said this. She has, however, had the gall to appear on stage with a baby bump and tell the world she loves her fiancee, Benjamin Millepied.)
Referring to Portman's pregnancy as "troubling," Huckabee added:"Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing."
We agree 1,000% with that statement. We wonder how Huckabee's fellow Republican, Sarah Palin, feels about this issue.
In 2007, meanwhile, Huckabee said the following about a pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears: "I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action... I'm not going to condemn her... There'll be plenty of people in line to 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."
Why the more pointed words for Portman? Might they be related to a Presidential run? You tell us.

Nowadays a marriage is nothing more than a pretty piece of paper. People get married and divorced just as easily as kids in the playground get together and breakup. So I don't think being an unwed mother is anymore stressful than being married. She and her fiance are commited to each other by love, and they plan on raising their child with love. That's all that should matter. She's not out drinking or doing drugs while pregnant, she didn't sleep around and get pregnant by accident, she knows who the father of the baby is and is happy to be carrying this child. I think that shows that she has morals and ethics so much more than standing up in front of a minister and repeating words that often amount to nothing.
@Glen: Just because a person has sex outside of marriage doesn't mean that they have no morals, despite what you repressive, backward, bible-thumping conservatives believe. A person has the right to determine when they're ready for sex- it's a personal choice. It's ridiculous that you think people actually owe the public an apology for having sex.
Conservatives are so annoying.
its sad tat ppl r using natalie's fame to get into limelight...wat a dog...natalie should be able to enjoy the greatest achievement of her life both personally n professionally in a happy n dignified way...natalie u shuld know these r just acts so these scumbags can get some attention..we love n support u..
Leo - "Ms. Portland should be allowed a stress free pregnancy,instead of being called out at a time when she should be her happiest." You think having a child without a marriage contract is stress-free? Even if the other person SAYS they love you, they haven't displayed the ultimate sacrifice - a marriage, so it all could be smoke in the wind far as the unwed pregnant partner knows. If that doesn't add stress, I don't know what does.
