Pregnant query

Yesterday, we had Dannii Minogue bravely announcing that she has "nothing against pregnant women"; today, we have Victoria Newton applauding Christina Aguilera for coming out:

CHRISTINA AGUILERA flashed her preggers ’n’ proud look as she and husband JORDAN BRATMAN dined out at Toscana Italian restaurant in California.

(For anyone over the age of nine, we should point out that "preggers" in nursery-speak for "pregnant.")

Pregnant and proud? Since when did pregnancy become something to be ashamed of so much that it's required a Gravid Pride movement? Is that adopting from the developing world has become so commonplace in Hollywood that people who actually give birth to their own children are seen as being impoverished in some way?

[EDIT: It was Minogue and not Louis Walsh who apparently doesn't have anything against pregnant women]

Aw man...now you're deleting perfectly valid comments which disagree with your sarcastic tone?

I would suggest if you're that scared of people tearing your sarky persona apart via the medium of logic, think twice about publishing the post.

I haven't deleted any posts; the only ones I axe are comments which consist of nothing but sixty-five links to World of Warcraft sales sites, and ones which are aggressively racist or sexist in tone. However, the commenting system on Blogger has been a bit tits-up this weekend - it forced all the blog to appear in italics yesterday, and the mailing of comments I've been getting has been mangled beyond belief.

To be honest, I can't think of a logical response to a post which says "there's no need to be ashamed of being pregnant", but I'd love to hear it.

Unless you're getting confused with the other thread which dealt with the X-Factor pregnancy story?
