Twilight of the Teen Idol: Justin Bieber's Sinister Ideology (Plus Thoughts on Lara Logan)
The website CafeMom reports the chilling news:
Did Bieber Fever just take a turn for the super-scary? Earlier today, Slate joked that Justin Bieber could easily grace the cover of Lisa Simpson's beloved Non-Threatening Boys Magazine, but then Rolling Stone magazine released a bit of a racy interview with the pop sensation, in which he strongly states he doesn't believe in abortion. Whoah. That's no catchy, non-threatening pop song.
What Justin Bieber must not understand is how this anti-choice statement, however nonchalant (and naive) it might have been, is going to travel at lightning speed around the Internet, and all his bazillion teen-aged girl fans are going to ponder it. I don't have a problem with girls pondering this topic, of course. Please ponder it!
However, how do we talk to our teens about abortion after their favorite teen idol makes such a strong statement against it?
Indeed. How will we talk to our children about how wonderful abortion is now that the evil Justin Bieber has poisoned their minds with his regressive worldview?
But as important as this news is, it's still only the second most popular story on Cafemom today. The top rated story is a thought provoking piece entitled: 'Lara Logan Was Right to Put Her Career Before Her Kids'.
After all, what have Lara Logan's kids ever done for anyone? Why should their so called needs encumber the right of their mother to galavant all over dangerous areas of the World for months at a time?
They have a father, for all I know, so what right would they have to complain if their mother was gunned down in a war zone?
