娱乐英语新闻:Jennifer Aniston: women don't need men to be good moms

BEIJING, Aug 9 (Xinhuanet) --Jennifer Aniston's new movie "The Switch" is coming up and so is her new point of being a mom.

Aniston plays a 40-year-old woman who uses an anonymous sperm donor to get pregnant, then finds out years later that her male best friend (Jason Bateman) switched out the anonymous sample with his own.

"Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said during the weekend.

During a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, the actress defended her character's leap into single motherhood by using a sperm donor, according to People Magazine reports.

"Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."

Aniston said she still wants to be a mom. "Yeah, I have said it years before and I still say it today," she said when asked if she still wants to have a family.

However, she is definately not going to use a turkey baster herself: "I don't have plans on that, no."
