"like a badge of honor"

"Embarazada?" reminds me that the other day I was shopping and the store was playing some kind of vapid light-hip-hop station, and a song came on about baby mamas and how hard it is when your child support check isn't enough. The chorus actually spelled out the phrase "baby mama," as in b-a-b-y ... m-a-m-a!

Turns out the song is by American Idol contestant Fantasia Barrino. Great. I don't mean to get all retro on your ass, but glorifying babymaking by the unprepared is just tacky.

Sure, that check might cover only "half of daycare," but I'll bet it would've covered one bigass bucket of condoms.

But I can still enjoy "Papa Don't Preach," right? If I acknowledge that it's tacky and probably encouraged a lot of ill-equipped girls to keep their babies? Why doesn't anybody write a song about how neato-frito it is to use contraception? Sure it's not fun, but neither is changing diapers.
