>So, you think an "unwed" mother is a good thing?

In Natalie Portman's case, definitely yes.

>Huckabee was trying to point out the fact that most unwed mothers aren't making millions, and in fact wind up living in poverty. The MSM twisted the story to be an attack on Natale, totally missing the point. I'm not really a Huckabee fan, but I think he is on point with his argument.

Unwed mother poverty is by and large a valid point, but it's a mistake to call Portman's pregnancy "troubling". She doesn't present herself as any paragon of gestational rectitude; why is Huckabee trying to make her so? IMO the most likely, and banal, reason is he's just trying to get free publicity; a less savoury alternative is that he morally disapproves.
