Rolling Stone And Justin Bieber Would Like To Clear Something Up

Justin Bieber is about 6-minutes out of the womb and so the thought of abortion is probably both confusing and really fucking threatening to him. But that didn't stop Rolling Stone's Vanessa Grigoriadis from asking him what his thoughts about abortion and rape pregnancies at the age of 16. The Lesbeaver's answer suddenly made him a pro-life advocate and accidental rape apologist. Rolling Stone and Justin Bieber are now trying to smooth out the bubbles in the shit puddle.

They have both jumped on their tricycles and are backpedaling straight into oncoming traffic. Rolling Stone issued a correction yesterday and apologized for leaving one sentence out of his "RAPE PREGNANCIES: Everything happens for a reason!" answer. This is what was originally printed:

"Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

And here's the new and still not improved quote in its entirety. I've bolded the new sentence in case your eyeballs are slightly blurry from being covered with a thick layer of fear due to the picture above.

"Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

Vanessa Grigoriadis defended Wade Bieber's comments to Popeater and said he didn't mean it like that.

"I think he meant that God has a plan. Even for the most die-hard Christian, it's hard to justify rape as part of God's plan, and harder to justify rape that leads to pregnancy and abortion. I think he was wrestling with that in his answer, which I found to be solid and logical. I think it is being widely misunderstood. He did not say that rape was part of God's plan."

And I don't think Justin Bieber becoming the famous singing toddler in the world was part of God's plan either.

We should all just back up, take a deep breath of bong smoke and fully realize that I'm writing and you're reading about a 16-year-old pop star's thoughts on abortion. It's come to this. I wonder if there's room on the Bieber's backpedaling tricycle headed for doom?

I think his stance is malinformed as the next poster, but I can't help but think he was asked that because he came from a devout Xtian background. It's all about selling magazine, I don't really think they care that much about his views.

I'm no "devout" Xtian either, but if he was an atheist, they wouldn't have asked him.

uhh... just a comment on the accompanying picture:
that woman holding the sign reminds me of cher for some reason but she can't be as ugly or gross looking as that orange girl in front. hahahaha. ew.

I keep seeing "he's just a kid" thrown around as an explanation/excuse. Well, if he's too young to answer questions like this, stop asking them, media! Limit his interviews to mags like highlights and don't ask him anything more hard-hitting than "who's your favorite Transformer."

And to the people saying he's not responsible for his actions, no. Just no. His age is sixteen YEARS, not sixteen months. That's plenty old enough for someone of presumably sound mind - albeit a dumbass - to be held responsible for their words.

Honestly, if an adult male said something this stupid, I might care and be offended as a rape survivor, but this is a CHILD'S ILL-INFORMED OPINION and I really don't think we can hold him responsible just yet.

Who thought asking him this question was a good idea?

If he can't figure out why a woman wouldn't want to have her rapist's baby, he's a fucking RETARD, but whatevs; he's like fucking 12 or something so who cares?

Anyone without a uterus's opinions on abortion are null and void in my world ANYWAY.

If you have a penis you can STFU until medical science advances enough that it's YOUR ass getting pregnant.

Kabee's picture

If he had said he was pro choice, I doubt so many people would be up in arms over his age and its relevance to his stance on abortion. I agree though that it was irresponsible and ridiculous for the reporter to ask him his opinion on such a huge political issue. I agree with the one poster who said they should stick to asking his favorite color/after school snack (ha), etc.

Inaraticulate emotionally stunted 16 year olds who can't communicate effectively should not give interviews. Ever.

Shiitake happens...

Never mind Bieber and whether or not he was misquoted or taken out of context or whatnot.

"Everything happens for a reason." is an annoying and retarded life philosophy no matter what the subject.

The kid is 16. It is all about wet dreams and checking for hair on his nuts. I'd never dream of asking my 15 year old nephew his thoughts on abortion.
Unfair. Did they ask Donny Osmond this shit when he was a teen star?
*********
LOL! Exactly. I have two sons, 17 & 15. I like to think that they're not complete morons; we torture them at the dinner table to discuss current events, etc., but really, if asked those types of questions, I'm not sure they'd do much better. They haven't lived long enough to learn wisdom.

I can't hate him for this because when I was a teenager I was anti-choice. Only after I matured and understood the world more did I change my mind about it.

...My darling can't you see
My heart sounds just for you my dear...

All those people waiting for him are crazy.

"This journalist is a fucking idiot. I don't like Bieber one bit. In fact, I find him insufferably annoying. Still, this question was inappropriate & just plain stupid. As plenty of others have said, I don't care what a 16 year old pop star thinks about abortion. Poor kid is probably still working out his feelings on such deep issues. He doesn't know shit about the real world yet, and we shouldn't expect him to."

ITA with everything you said. I can't stand the little brat, but this question was out of line. He *is* still a kid. The reporter is an idiot.

OT: Mabel, I made a small donation. I wish it could have been more. I'm so happy to see other Dlisters are making such generous donations.

Whatever happened to mags like Teen Beat and Tiger Beat and all of those teenie mags? Where the interviews were about favorite colors, or where you like to take someone on a date, etc. - now we're asking a 16 year old his stance on abortion in what is supposed to be a rock and roll magazine. WTF has happened to our society??? BRING BACK TEEN BEAT!!!

Hey, the kid has handlers. If they had any more concern about this kid other than when their next paycheck is gonna come shooting out of his narrow ass, they would have stepped in and stopped the interview.

In time, we will see that his idiot parents will make the parents Lohan look like Cliff and Claire.

btw - at 15 I knew what rape was and how grave a thing it is. I could name the political parties in my country and I knew the difference between North and South Korea. Fuck this kid, not any of our faults that he's a self-absorbed flavour of the month.

It's stuff like THIS that leads teen stars to becoming douchebags who think they're hot shit. No one cares - or should care - about their opinions on such huge, important matters. If someone's going to be a teen star, they should perform, do stupid press about what their favorite color is & what their favorite movie is - then GO HOME AND BE A KID. The media needs to stop treating them like they're full-blown adults with opinions worth sharing with the world. With their friends & family, sure - but not goddamn "Rolling Stone."

This is what happens when marketing departments forget that they created the product and fall under the illusion that the product can think for itself. They shoulda kept Bieber under wraps.

I have no sympathy for the fuckin fools. I don't wanna hear some child's opinion of abortion for chrissakes.

Okay. I'm certainly not a Bieber fan, but at least he said he'd never been in that position before so he really wouldn't be able to judge that. I'm not sure I understand why people got so bent out of shape. It's just Justin Bieber. Does that mag's demographic even care about him?

And I agree with koko: If a middle aged man was standing in a crowd of tweens (let's say at a Hannah Montana concert 2 years ago) with that exact same sign held up, can you imagine society's reaction?! But, I guess she's just a pervy ole cougar... no biggie.

Anyone who tries to justify rape as God's plan can go die, really. I don't care if that includes the Lesbeaver.

Also, the reason Bieber is so pro-life is because he's still old enough to be legally aborted. It's fetus solidarity.

i think they should have talked about video games instead.
