The Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy buzz is still loud to the ears. Everyone has his opinions and even a presidential candidate is not immune to one.
Republican candidate Mike Huckabee has given his own say in the matter. He thinks the 16-year-old pregnant actress is making the right decision.
"Apparently, she's going to have the child, and I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it," the former governor of Arkansas tells CBS News.
"I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action. But at the same time I'm not going to condemn her. There'll be plenty of people in line to do that and I always look for the shortest lines. I just hope she will make another right decision, and that's to give the child all the love and kindness and care that she can."
He adds, "It's a tragedy when a 16-year-old who is not really prepared for all the responsibilities of adult life is going to be now faced with all the responsibilities of honest-to-goodness adult life."
Huckabee was a Southern Baptist minister who has been leading in the polls lately due to increased support from Christian conservatives.
