That Justin Bieber’s opinion on – well, anything – is irrelevant has not seemed to stop the media from creating a veritable firestorm around the young singer’s voiced opinion on abortion. For the record, "the Biebs" noted that he believes that a fetus is a baby and that an abortion is killing a baby. Specifically, the wild-haired on noted, "I really don’t believe in abortion," adding "I think [an embryo] is a human. It’s like killing a baby." While those on "The View" have taken on Bieber for his comments, he also has his share of supporters on the subject – as could be predicted.
Focus on the Family, for instance, came out and said that they are not surprised in the least that the 16-year-old pop start gave voice to his beliefs on the matter. Noted Glenn Stanton, the group’s director of family formation studies, "Increasingly, young people are seeing abortion for what it is. It is a tragedy, but it’s taking a life. We always kind of like to put things into left and right politics, but with the younger generation, they’re not interested in that. They kind of want to take a more honest, objective view. And that’s what we see with Justin."
Stanton added, "Entertainers are influential. They have an impact on what we think and can use their voice like nobody else. I think it is very positive for Justin to use his voice." Experts continue to weight in on the matter. Dr. Laura Boerman, a sex therapist and a teacher, ha said, "Whatever your values are around abortion rights, it’s a teachable moment to use with your child. You can have a really amazing conversation with your 12-year-old daughter [asking], ‘What do you think about what he said?’"
