"..."She wants to finish school and let Matt do his thing and then figure it out."..."
What a ditz!!!!!
But we have to judge otherwise society would collapse. We need to judge what behavior is right and which is wrong. Jesus said to judge justly not to stop judging all together.
Seconded.
So is abortion.
If he succeeds in the NFL, this will be the first of a long line of precious little meal tickets for the various mommas.

Also the title of the article is misleading. Matt Leinart has yet to prove he is worthy of the title "Father", yet.
I hope he takes responsibility and becomes a great Father and roll model to his child and millions of other kids who love football.
Glad to help. >:)

And why is grandpa making this announcement to Fox Sports?
If Brynn is due in Nov., and just found out a month ago that she's expecting....well, probably best to let daddy speak for her....at least he sounds happy about the new baby....while Matt does "his thing" and Brynn does hers...somebody will be around that actually has time for the baby..
"Honk If You're Carrying Steve Garvey's Baby"...STILL my all-time favorite bumper sticker.
Sounds like you understand without help.
The non-judgmentalists (i.e., non-judgmental about everything except people with morals) will say that growing up in a married two-parent household is just a preference, like choosing chocolate over vanilla ice cream. You can point out to them a TON of data indicating that kids generally do better materially and psychologically in a married two-parent home, and they will just bounce back with an anecdote about somebody (often themselves) who grew up in a single-parent household and turned out just fine. If you question either this anecdote or its universality, you will be accused of attacking them personally on account of your old-fashioned Taliban-style opinions.
Bottom line: People who have concluded that right and wrong don't matter anymore have a vested personal interest in this idea, and the interest in almost always their desire to feel good about themselves and those they like no matter how egregious their violations of traditional morality. There is no way whatsoever to respond to them--except by staying as far away as possible (and keeping your kids away too).
It will only be a bastard by definition. Does the truth bother you?
I truly don't think being judgmental or that right or wrong don't matter is the issue in this case. I haven't seen anyone saying the parents haven't erred. It is the labeling of the innocent child who did not ask to be brought into this world. Bastard is not just a word, it has condemning connotations and everyone knows it. Regardless of what the PARENTS did, the CHILD should not suffer. And to use a child to bring the parents shame as someone else suggested? Seems the wrong place to put the burden, IMO.
She has faced up publicly to her actions and will have to live with that. That takes courage, IMO.
This thread is the exact reason that the left accuses us (prolifers) of being in love with the fetus, but don't expect any help when you come in to the world. She didn't have an abortion, carries to term, is going to parent, and now her child gets called names?? By prolifers??? Can't wrap my head around that one.
"It" is a human being.
The truth doesn't bother me in the least. Self-righteous, judgemental hypocrites do.
Meanwhile, anyone stupid enough to read PEOPLE gets to share this glop:
He is currently raising money to start the Matt Leinart Foundation, a learning center for underprivileged and disabled children. "Kids are important to Matt," his rep tells PEOPLE. "He really wants to help kids who can't help themselves."Know why kids in America are "underprivileged"? The biggest single reason is that they have parents who are as self-indulgent as these. Being called "bastard" is the very least of their troubles.
Or they will just secretely abort the baby, and there won't be any shame at all. Surely there is a way to support their decision to do the right thing, without giving approval to pre marital sex.
Good post. You are 100 % right.
