While promoting her movie 'The Switch' earlier this week, Jennifer Aniston told reporters that women don't need men to start a family or be good mothers. When Bill O'Reilly caught wind of her statement, he debated the topic of single motherhood on 'The O'Reilly Factor' and called out the 41-year-old actress.
"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.' That is destructive to our society," O'Reilly railed.
FOX News contributor Margaret Hoover and FOX News anchor Gretchen Carlson debated the topic with O'Reilly, admitting young teens wouldn't be able to comprehend the vast differences between a 40-year-old woman and a teenager raising a child as a single mother. "She is glamorizing single parenthood," Carlson said.
In 'Switch,' Aniston plays a woman who elects to take on life as a single parent through artificial insemination. During the movie's press conference in LA, the actress admitted "times have changed" and women don't need to rely on men to be good mothers.
Easy to say dumb crap when you have a few million to fall back on...
Actually, from every thing I’ve read the problem was that her husband wanted kids, she had just finished with “Friends” and was wanting to get her movie career going before having kids.
I find that story more believable, considering that Jennifer Aniston has said that she doesn’t want kids and doesn’t think she will have any. It’s for the best really, because at one point, a few years ago,one of her friends said “Jennifer is really upset. Her movie premiere is this weekend and she feels that Angelina gave birth on Tuesday just to upstage her.”
“Criticizing Aniston is like criticizing a cockroach.”
The difference is that cockroaches are not celebrated, fawned over by the media, made rich and famous, and idolized by millions of young women. The entertainment industry is a cesspool of anti-American and immoral simpletons with no regard for the rest of the country.

No prejudice here against nonbiological parents, just stating the ideal. There is no substitute for a mother and a father. None.
So you don’t think a homosexual couple and provide “an orphaned and otherwise neglected child a loving home”? And people like VP Cheney’s daughter and her partner who “intentionally [created] a child with the express purposes of NOT giving that child access to a father” are not fit to be parents?
I'm not sure why you're so enamored with "homosexual couples". I didn't say anything about homosexuals, nor has anyone else on this thread. O'Reilly is talking about SINGLE WOMEN.
Jennifer still hasn’t found the man that could use a headboard to knock some common sense into her brain.
Jennifer Aniston has been dumped by Brad and every other man she has dated. How come?
I bet shes bad in bed.
"No matter how hot she is, there is always some guy somewhere who is tired of her s--t."
ya.. prolly... not prolly... she is bad in bed. cute but not much of anything else.
She’s ok.

My thoughts exactly. I wonder if Bill considered Laura’s move as bad as Jennifer’s. I mean, it is, I just wonder if Bill is a hypocrite.
