Big news in the celebrity “news” world today. Rapper Ludacris has won full custody of his daughter. I’ll admit to being a bit surprised in the light of the disadvantages men have long had in family court.
What’s the right thing to think about this development? The vast majority of us shouldn’t care. We’re not related to Luda. The child is loved and is apparently in the best possible situation. (And her father has plenty of money and privilege.)
Let’s take a look at a Jezebel article published on the same day Ludacris was granted custody:
Why does Hillary Crosley Coker hope that Ludacris was initially in favor of aborting the child? After all, there shouldn’t be a stigma about abortion, right? The decision to abort is a heavy conflict that weighs on any prospective parent, right? People who do consider aborting a fetus shouldn’t feel any residual guilt, of course.
I’m not sure why Jezebel and Hillary Crosley Coker want to stigmatize abortion and to cram these kinds of decisions back into the pre-Roe shadows where they don’t belong. Shameful. I will never understand what leads fine left-wing people like those at Jezebel to seemingly abandon their dedication to their pro-choice principles.
Do you have an explanation?
