Justin Bieber: Abortion ‘like killing a baby’

Justin Bieber Rolling Stone March 2011

Justin Bieber seems to be finding his political voice in the March 2011 interview of Rolling Stone. The Canadian teeny bopper idol tells Rolling Stone that he ‘really doesn’t believe in abortion’. Beiber, who is turning 17 on March 1st gives this as his reason, “It’s like killing a baby?” He seems to stop short of judging women who have been raped, saying that while it’s sad, that he’s in no position to judge all the while hiding under the thinly veiled caveat, ‘everything happens for a reason’. While that may earn points with parents throughout the Bible belt, he might negate those gains as he hurls insults at the American health-care system.
Beiber isn’t shy about his dislike for the American healthcare sytem, or lack of it, saying…
“We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”
He’s unapologetic about his pride of country — being from Canada, he calls his homeland “the best country in the world”. Of course, he says this while riding around Atlanta in his luxury SUV. He even goes so far as to jokingly call America “evil”. Justin, do tell — does that mean our money is evil too?
