I was more referring to having children at younger ages, rather than the quantity of them in a lifespan.
Other than potentially cutting their own career short, I don't really see any issue with someone have a child at a younger age, assuming they can support them.
Having a child at 16 isn't really all that young in that grand scheme of humanity.
True, that. IIRC, the Romans thought that 14 was a good age for marrying your daughter married off.
As for Jamie, hey, condoms can break even under the best of conditions, so we can't assume she's stupid just because she's pregnant. She should have doubled up with some BC pills, but we should all have such foresight at 16.
(BTW, what does it say about me that I didn't even know that Brittany had a sister?)

But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine,
I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
I think it sucks a 16 year old got knocked up, but ya know, shit happens. At least she's in the position to actually be able to take care of it, and not like "take care of it...."
Either option is equally valid, and equally legal. I'd argue that there are no 16 year old girls raised in America today who are "ready" to actually take care of a child and do it well, so carrying the kid to term might not be the most responsible choice she could make.
But that brings us back to the point where it's actually not our business what she does with her body.

In the slightly less grand scheme of our society it is, though.
If nothing else, this will complicate any plans she might have had to complete high school.
And it WILL have an effect on her career. Even if her show just goes on a maternity hiatus and then comes back, parents may not be so keen on their children watching it anymore.

What she does with her body, no.
Bt we can be concerned about the child living in unfit conditions.
I mean, either it will be raised by a 16 year old (which statistically and realisticallyputs it at a disadvantage) or else it will be raised by the grandparents who raised Britney and Jamie Lynn; and look how those two turned out.

Yeah, my comment wasn't about the "OMG abortionz" crap, I was just saying at least she's got the money to support a child if she wants to keep it.
I don't see anything wrong or even slightly immoral about this whole thing. The mother is a little young but she seems reasonable and the child will be raised and provided for.
Stop caring so much about other people's issues.
Oh wait, she is the sister of a celebrity. That changes everything!
Right?
Naw, man, she stars in her own show on Nick. She was on "All That!" She is a celebrity. Nothing earth shattering, but a 16 year old child star who countless kids watch everyday getting pregnant is worthy of discussion.
What happend to the days when a child star would get preggs/overdose/get a DUI and that kept that shit underwraps?
Gotta give the young Spears credit for wanting to keep her baby and for just coming out and telling the media.
I don't understand the Disney connection.
Zoey101 airs on Nickelodeon in my area.
Would someone mind explaining it to me?
Oh, is it?
For some reason, I'm an idiot.
I don't know the show. I only assumed, for some reason. I'll correct that all.
Nickelodeon is owned by MTV, so maybe they'll move her over there and instead of that "Super Sweet 16" shit, it'll be "Super pregnant at 16"
God, this is such a terrible idea it might actually happen. And when it does, cue my walking in front of a bus.
This only saddens me beacuse I had the fantasy of her being the normal Spears sister, and maybe someday ten years from now we'd meet at a coffee shop and fall in love and marry, and my kids could have a crazy aunt Brittany.

I don't think a celebrity is your statistically average pregnant 16 year old by a long shot.
She could just hire a nanny to tend to the kid all day.
I'm offended by the implication that adults are fit to parent nowadays. A quick whiff of reality suggests otherwise. I'd go so far as to say her age is irrelevant in deciding whether or not she can be a competant parent because I hardly know any of any age.
Britney just lucked out, her sister is a bigger fuck up then she is!
Not even close. Yeah, (presumably) unplanned teen pregnancies aren't great, but this alone doesn't even hold a candle to the flaming car wreck that is her sister.
They broke this story on E! while I was watching The Soup Awards.
I laughed. Hard.
This is the kind of "story" that "breaks?" Oh, wait...E! Gotcha.
Who knows, though, maybe this will raise awareness of teen pregnancy. If it can happen to her then obviously it can happen to anybody, it's not just reserved for "sluts" or "trailer trash." Seriously, people: birth control. And preferably not just condoms.

Unless Spears the Younger actually eats her baby, I don't think that's possible.
also apparently the age of consent in Louisiana is 17. ooopsie!
Clearly this baby was divinely conceived.
Incomming reports will likely indicate "We totally never did anything but kiss and hold hands except when I was on the road in states where the age of consent is totally 16."
Or would that fall under those wacky "transporting a minor across state lines for the purposes of _______" things the US has?

She's a lousianna cockroach, trust me this is the first ring in the new circus. The next one will be, it isn't her boyfriends baby, then it will be someone related to her, then her show gets cancelled. By the time its over she'll be doing tranny porn with whats left of Jenna Jameson.

if I'm reading this chart right... for US citizens travelling the age is 18.
so the law is either her home state's (17) or 18. i.e... jail time 4 Mr. Fucksateen

Well, The Spears have obviously done a fantastic job of raising their girls.
I wonder about this sentiment. My parents tried. Tried so hard. And yet my sister was hellbent on fucking drug dealers and selling stolen goods. My brother was a bumbling, clueless petty thief. So, unless you got proof that the train wreck of the elder Spears and the...hmmm....pretty tame occasion of a teen pregnancy lies with poor upbringing, then perhaps you want to check your self righteousness at the door.
I suppose that the absolutely fucking abomination that is tabloid journalism and the soulless marketing of pop music had nothing to do with messing with Britney Spears. Or the fact that LOTS of people have sex, including teenagers, and that it only seems to be morally wrong here when the girl is dumb enough to get pregnant (WTF, guys, how about a little consistency?).

And teenage pregnancy is a bad thing, you wear a condom, get birth control, fuck do the pull out method anything but get a little fuck trophy.

Some people are born fucked up. Like Pat Robertson.
it seems the law (signed in the mid-90s by Clinton... of all people...) only applies to US citizens travelling abroad.
in other words if you travel to say, Japan (where the age of consent is 14) and have sex with anyone under 18 years old, you may be prosecuted when you get back to the US.
however for inter-state travel, as long as the sexual act is legal in the state in which you do the deed (ie not prostitution or other illegal act) you are fine.
so yeah, it's gonna depend on where they fucked. in LA the age of consent is 17, but in KS where the dude apparently lives it's 16...
