Bill O'Reilly: Jen Aniston's Pro-Single Mom Remarks Are "Destructive"

Move over, Ludacris.

Bill O'Reilly has a new enemy: Jen Aniston.

He is slamming The Switch star, 41, for saying that women don't need men to have kids.

"She's throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that, 'Hey you don't need a guy. You don't need a dad,'" he ranted on his FOX News show this week. "That is destructive to our society."

Said FOX News anchor Gretchen Carlson, "She is glamorizing single parenthood."

In her latest romantic comedy The Switch (out Aug. 20), Aniston plays Kassie, a single woman seeking a sperm donor.

At a weekend press conference, the single actress told reporters: "Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child. Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."

3. Didn't we have this arguement almost 20 years ago with Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown...

First Newt Gingrich as a "serious political player" and now this. Isn't it a bit soon for 90's nostalgia?

5. "Women are realizing...they don't have to SETTLE WITH a man just to have that child."

That's a far cry from "You don't NEED a man." Indeed, NO ONE should "settle with" ANYONE to do ANYTHING.

7. You know, no one would even know about stuff like this likely
if O'Reilly and friends didn't make a big deal of little stuff. They've probably done more to promote single parenthood by their idiocy than any of the original speakers.

8. "The World According to Garp"
Jenny Fields: "I wanted a job and I wanted to live alone," she wrote, "and that made me a sexual suspect. . . . Then I wanted a baby, but I didn't want to share my body or life to have one," Jenny wrote. "That made me a sexual suspect, too."

16. Say What? I Thought Sandra Bullock Was America's Sweetheart?
Hmm...

Maybe we can have a fight here on D.U. about who is really America's Sweetheart. Ha ha! :P
