Never Say "Consequence" to a Progressive

Unsurprisingly, the harshest judgmental wrath unleashed on Nickelodeon star Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101) for getting pregnant at 16 came not from those conservatives or religious types inevitably portrayed as intolerant by liberal commentators, but from those selfsame liberal voices.

This young girl learned the hard way the dangers of holding a mirror up to a social progressive.  By actually becoming pregnant from sexual intercourse - have we not progressed our way beyond this nasty side effect? - she has made the irresponsibility of the "progressive" agenda a physical reality for all to see.  For this crime, Huffington Post bloggers - most of them women - have pounced on the girl and her mother with claws bared.

Bonnie Fuller self-rightiously condemns Lynne Spears for failing to "instill personal values and self-esteem" in her daughters, who must get "knocked up" because they "choose men who have so little respect for them that they're not careful about preventing a pregnancy."  Of course Ms. Fuller's own daughters won't be so "careless" and "messed up" because they will surely get "the talk...about the dangers of unprotected sex."

In another post, she advocates firing Spears for betraying "overtaxed parents" who "counted on Zoey to deliver wholesome entertainment and even moral lessons."  "Jamie Lynn really let them down!"  Fuller can't resist reiterating that she personally would have handled this better than Lynne Spears has.

Cooper Munroe bemoans that "while the Spears family most definitely should crawl back to their trailer park and stay there, the broader implications of their public behavior does affect us, especially our young daughters and sons."  Terrible how popular culture can expose "us" to the low class choices of people who can't smell an ocean from where they were raised.

Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, PPFA's political arm, doesn't miss the opportunity to blame the Bush administration for it's support of abstinence programs.

So Jamie Lynn Spears, whose job it was to act as a role model for the preteens of parents so otherwise occupied that they must leave their kids' education in the hands of Nickelodeon and public schools can no longer fulfill this role because of this unseemly, low-class stunt of coming up pregnant by her steady boyfriend and failing to consider one of Ms. Richards' abortions after having ignored one of the birth control alternatives that hide one's indiscretions and generally distasteful trailer-trashiness. 

Funny how Bill Clinton's irregular personal life didn't similarly disqualify him from doing his job, perhaps because a good part of it consisited of keeping people like Cecile Richards in business.  Essentially, Clinton broke this same unspoken progressive rule: You can do whatever you feel like as long as you don't get caught or let it interfere with your social mobility away from places where there are trailer parks.

None of this stone throwing has anything to do with any moral precept.  We have progressed past all that. This is all about feminism and its unholy alliance with free sex, birth control and abortion. Any woman who doesn't toe the Cosmo line on these issues (Bonnie Fuller is a former editor, coincidentally) will be savaged.
