"The song ['Brick'] is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about."

Reading these comments I'm struck by how little talk there is about adoption. It's as if adoption doesn't exist and isn't even a viable option. Can we not admit we're heading to other countries to adopt infants because it's so difficult to find infants to adopt in this country because of abortion???? And can I just say that Jane Fonda has lost what little is left of her mind. "It's as though all they care about is unborn babies." Duh ... that's the point here when we're discussing abortion, isn't it????

Uh ... Justin it's not "like" killing a baby, it is killing a baby. Or taking an innocent human life whichever you prefer.

Oh weird I thought I put that comment on the Justin Beiber slide? Anyway Jane Fonda and Kanye are the best ones on there.

I saw this interview. He was like 15 at the time, and it was obvious he's never given the issue any thought. I hope the person who did that interview got fired.
