Natalie Portman slammed for out-of-wedlock pregnancy
March 4th, 2011 - 6:47 pm ICT by ANIWashington, March 4 (ANI): Former Arkansas governor and Fox News Channel host Mike Huckabee has blasted Natalie Portman for her out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
The Oscar-winner is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millepied.
“People see a Natalie Portman who boasts, ‘We’re not married but we’re having these children and they’re doing just fine,” Usmagazine.com quoted Huckabee as telling radio host Michael Medved on his show.
“I think it gives a distorted image. It’s unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of- wedlock children,” he said.
Calling Portman’s pregnancy “troubling,” Huckabee went on to say that many single parents don’t have the resources to hire help, the way someone like the ‘Black Swan’ star would.
“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,” the Fox News Channel host said. (ANI)
