Nia Long Asked God to Have Baby Out of Wedlock

I was with Nia on the society says “get married before 30” thing, and not being half the woman you’re going to become until 30, but you asked God, the one who put that whole fornication rule out there, to allow you to have a baby with your partner (translation: not husband) Ime Udoka? And the whole doing what comes natural thing… that will get a lot of people in trouble. Natural doesn’t always lead to the best choice. Too many men and women are doing what comes naturally and populating the earth like there’s no tomorrow. They’re going with the flow rather than thinking beyond the moment of passion and suddenly are surprised when someone ends up pregnant.

I’m not going to call any child a mistake, and I can’t pretend to know Nia Long’s personal life beyond what she chooses to tell the media, but I just can’t rock with the whole premise of her argument. For the sake of the impressionable women out there who may think this is the path they want to take, open your Bible to 1 Corinthians 6:18-20.

Okay, I am (only partially) kidding. But in all seriousness, what do you think about Nia Long asking God for her out-of-wedlock baby?

Is she seriously blessed or is she delusional?
