Slim ThugThe online world is buzzing about the Houston rapper, who’s out and about promoting his financial self-help book, “How to Survive in a Recession.”
He reportedly calls a chapter in his book “Abortion." He goes so far as to say abortion is necessary if the parents aren’t a couple.
Here’s a quote being pulled from the rapper as he was hawking his book on Houston hip-hop station: The Box
“I think abortion is necessary on some occasions. People be against it, but people don’t deal with the real life situations some people deal with. I don’t think it’s right, I don’t think it’s good to have a baby and not be with the father.”
The rapper reportedly bases his stance on the fact that he was raised by a single mom, a woman who he says worked “ seven days a week, 12 hours a day.” He also says he has no idea who his father is.
Oh, and the single dad (yes, you read that right) reportedly equates abortion with birth control, if it’s done immediately after conception:
“Even though I got three baby mamas … it’s working out. But it ain’t right. I ain’t saying wait three or four months. If it’s immediate, it’s like birth control to me.”
Needless to say, his comments his drawing fire:
Somone on Vibe.com says:
While I agree that people should make wiser choices before sleeping with a partner or having a child, acting like abortion isn’t a serious, life-altering decision and is as easy as popping a birth control pill is almost as irresponsible as getting yourself mixed up with the wrong person in the first place.
AllHipHop.com calls the rapper’s comments an “epic fail.”
But there is some support: A commenter on vladtv.com says: Why you mad at this guy's opinion? In a way he kinda right. Everybody isn't fit to be parents and condoms aren't 100 percent.
--Dana Thompson
What a pig!
When birth control fails, this is the only option for some women. He's a bit tactless, but taking responsibility for yourself and your actions is a very conservative and responsible trait.

"Don’t you see governor. I should have the right to have an abortion if I want one...I mean, what right do I have bringing another child into this overpopulated world? Then again I should have thought of that before having sex...then again...I just don’t know.”
-Mrs. Cartman,(Southpark)
Sooo....how many babies have you killed?
It isn't a baby until birth.
Certainly, I would seek financial and moral guidance from a man named Thug, with three different "baby mommas." Riiiight.
Should we expect more from this piece of ghetto trash?
i agree with him 100%.. would you rather stand ground on your beliefs or be robbed by a thug who was raised without a father. Thats where we are today
Better 10,000 aborted fetuses than one unwanted baby. Every child loved, every child wanted, every child eagerly anticipated by responsible parents.
Not even for a book could he work on his grammar?
Major debate you got here...don't think I'll touch this one but I kinda agree with him and both the commentators....it's a sad world but at least Slim Thug says it like it is and sounds like he steps up for his children.
seriously? i fully support a woman's right to choose, but I dont think you could find a worse spokesman for this cause. first of all, 3 baby mamas!?! dude, wear a condom! there are easier ways to avoid getting a girl pregnant than abortion or the day-after pill. in the interest of greater society, please keep this out of the news.
Abortion is decimating the black community and this black guy is supporting it?? His comments are self defeating.
Real-life? More like real-death.....the kid in the womb never gets a chance to express him or herself.
And all of this advice coming from someone who sings/raps in a genre that denigrates women?
Yes indeed, epic fail!
I wish more people would have abortions. 50% of all marriages end in divorce, STDs and unplanned pregnancies are the highest in RED States which are made up mostly of conservative Christians. America is made up of Bristol Palin's who dont want their babies daddy in the picture for selfish reasons. They dont deserve the right to be mothers or parents and should be forced to either get an abortion or give the kid up for adoption.
As a single mom of a successful male I admit the road was'nt easy, yet I would'nt trade paths given the chance. Luckily my famalial bond was intact & we surpassed insurmountable odds. Todays youth lack the guidance needed to get by coming from this just my baby momma mentality so rampant within our communities. Im for choice. But we could really take a look at what we producing. Genetics dont lie men & women do. The end results kill me. Im just saying choose wisely & use contraceptives! We have yet to see the effects/defects, that these dro induced, ciroc double, 1 night stands gone be! Keep it real as in really wrapped up. Thugga knows firsthand how misguided it could be when lil pookie momma chose him cause his car blue to be baby daddy.
Guessing he wishes his momma had one.....How can I light a fire under my career, I know say something stupid and incendiary
He's a moron, plain and simple.
well, sure glad one of worlds greatest minds has said it should be necessary....so does he wish he had been aborted, or what can we do with those children who have incarcerated fathers in prison,,,,should we kill them?
Get over it skinny thug and the chronicle for allowing his biased and very limited perspective receive what he couldnt do alone....get more copies of his book sold.
Good to know that Slim and white supremacist Margaret Sanger are on the same page.
Agreed, when you find your beliefs aligned with them maybe it's time to re-think your position. Then again Slim may have barely finished high school, if at all...
