Mike Huckabee Salutes Jamie Lynn Spears  12/24/07

American presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is using teenager Jamie-Lynn Spears' pregnancy shocker as a talking point on the campaign trail.

The Republican Baptist minister, the former Arkansas Governor, stunned his supporters when he took a moment to discuss Spears' dilemma at a recent rally in Iowa.

He said, "It's a tragedy when a 16-year-old, who is not really prepared for all the responsibilities of adult life, is going to be now faced with all the responsibilities of honest-to-goodness adult life."

But he applauded the teenager for deciding to go ahead with plans to have the child.

He added, "I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it.

"I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action, but, at the same time, I'm not going to condemn her.

"I just hope that she will make another right decision and that's to give that child all the love and kindness and care that she can."
