Ashley Judd Having Hard Time Deciding To Have Kids
May 28, 2008 AT 09:00 am
"The fact that there are 25 million AIDS orphans makes it hard to decide (to have kids). The fact that 11 million children will die this year before reaching their fifth birthdays makes it hard. We should be providing for the ones who are here."
-- Ashley Judd

Ofcourse she is, who would have sex with her?!
Another celebrity talking bullsh!t again.
What's that got to do with having your own family, whether bio or adopted?
Whether it's bs or she truly means it, I think it's a very valid point. I wish more people stepped back and looked at from this perspective.
In fairness to her she said the same thing about buying a new car. She could not decided if she should buy a new one when their are so many cars that break down each year.
What??? That is a ridiculous example. Try again.
i agree. i rather provide a home and give at least on of these children a chance in life rather than have my own. it's seems less selfish.
wow..i am speechless! you are truely ignorant
Why's there so much negativity? I think it's great that she's able to look at things from a larger perspective, it's great to have a little version of yourself but it takes a bigger person to love someone in need, someone that they're not obligated to look after.
Scott, the analogy doesn't even carry over and you're not as funny as you think you are.
yes he is funny andhe makes a valid point! you are ignorant TAR-a!
Ya know, she got all self righteous a few years back about this. I recall her saying it is selfish to have children since there are so many starving kids in the world. Bullshit. I am very sorry that people are procreating when they have no chance of giving their children a proper life, but I'll be damned if I should n't have children of my own that I can care for, love and provide a wonderful life for. I will happily donate to such cause, but I am not going to listen to a millionaire tell me I shouldn't have my own kids and rather clean up after others. Bullshit.
AMEN! I agree 100%:)
Count me in. Great post. Exactly what I meant to say but was too distracted by her idiotic comment.
i agree with her...
The world has been going to hell in a hand basket since the beginning of time. Having children is a personal choice parents make. You have children out of love and the desire to bring new life into the world. If you let the outside world dictate your decisions or actions, you're pretty well screwed over.
Does this mean she's going to adopt? Or just keep yapping?
Mockerena, get on here and share your distain. These readers need to be advised to haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate quotes from Ms. Judd. See more at themockdock.com...Category: I Hate Ashley Judd. You will have a whole new view of Trashley.
This came out of her most recent interview in Town and Country. Read about this and MANY MANY MANY other Ashley Judd snippets at www.themockdock.com. There is a whole I Hate Ashley Judd category there where haters can come and be amongst friends. :)
You people realize she's talking about HER choice between having biological kids and helping children who are already here and in need, right? Ashley Judd is not self-righteous at all and is not passing judgment on people who choose to have children. As a matter of fact you'll be hard pressed to find another celebrity who is as intelligent or well-spoken as she is. This woman is no idiot and has always seemed like a very level-headed, normal person, considering her celebrity. Relax.
she said "WE" re read the statement
You do realize that she said "WE", right? She should truely speak for herself. If she doesn't want to have bio kids then fine, that's her. But, don't tell ppl what they should do. Having a child of your own is the most wonderful thing anybody can do. There is nothing more exciting than to be able to look at a little bundle of joy and say 'i created this; this came from me'. And so is adopting. I don't know why ppl who adopt put themselves on such a high pedestal as if they are some how better than ppl who have kids biologically. They are not. This sounds like the same stupid S*** Aj was talking about. And she definately puts herself on a pedestal. Everybody is well aware of all the orphans in the world and of all the kids dying everyday because they have no one. But why does she feel like it's other ppl responsible to take in someone's child when they shouldnt have had them if they couldn't afford them? I do plan to adopt one day but i won't feel like i am obligated to do so.
Who cares if she has a kid or not. She'll probably be like the rest of them and hire nannies to take care of them, and call themselves "parents."
The future of our country depends on our having children and raising them to be productive citizens. She can raise a couple of beautiful (talking character here) children and also help the unfortunate children in other countries. One action does not preclude the other. It does not really help poor, diseased children in Africa or Asia to NOT have kids here in the US. I suspect she is just justifying her own personal desicion not to have kids. She makes it sound so noble, why can't she just say the truth - its just not for her.
This woman is a self-absorbed piece of trash and one of the worst actresses I've ever seen. The only reason she has a career is because of her mother and sister's success in the music business. It sure as hell isn't because of her talent.
She said, "We should be providing for the ones who are here." Apparently, she is saying that "we" and that is not about her personal choice. She is entitled to her personal choice, but I can't help but get a chuckle out of this comment. Whenever a celebrity that does not have kids talks about "not having kids" I snicker because unless you HAVE kids, you have NO IDEA what you are missing. There is nothing in the world that can replace the feeling of holding and looking to the eyes of a human you created. And someone as intelligent as she appears to be, should realize that having your own children and raising them to be good, honorable people, is what the world needs. Think of all the great humanitarians of our time; those people that give themselves freely for the common good, for example, Bono, imagine if his mother never had him because she felt as though bringing another baby into the world would be selfish. Come on!!! There is an underlying reason why she is not having kids and she is using this reason as an excuse. Trust me. Shop my online AVON store: http://youravon.com/loridaly
really? i'll make sure to tell my mom that she missed out on something because she only adopted me and i'm not her biological kid. i guess there is no possible way she raised me to be a good honorable citizen, right? i mean she didn't create me with her DNA, so i guess i wasn't really needed by this world. i think that you are missing out.....on being a human being with some compassion and a heart. i only hope your kids aren't learning from your poor example.
i agree. the earth is totally over-populated. some people who have babies just want to create mini versions of themselves. now that's selfish and egotistical. adopt!
Yeah, I read the statement and am able to separate the idea that she's judging the you and the rest of the world from the fact that she counts her self as part of the collective. Her wanting or even thinking about taking in underprivileged children that are already alive on this planet makes her neither self-absorbed nor selfish.
i will agree that she is neither self-absorbed nor selfish. i really admire her for all that she do. but, i couldn't disagree with her comment more. she is telling ppl they should adopt and not have kids of your own. what ppl fell to realize is that the moment you adopt an orphan another one is born that very second. so, you can see how not having your own kids won't eliminate or decrease the number of orphans in the world.
