Below: the Duggar family of Hicksville Arkansas The Duggar family of Hicksville Arkansas welcomed their 17Th child! And this beastly woman will likely get knocked up again! It gets easier as it goes, as now the 3rd eldest child has a newborn to take care of, as he gets home schooled in the art of child rearing.
My first wish is that this not get picked up by AP. It makes this country look terrible like we are a bunch of uncivilized hicks that don't know any better than to screw and have babies. Although my thoughts of the south are not the greatest, this family certainly does not help the image, as they live in the sticks in a PO-dunk town and are likely half the population or more!
I understand religion as much, if not more than, most people, but I also understand reason. For example, that child will certainly get raised by the siblings, not the parents. It is a strain to the economy, and creates more unintelligent citizens who will all likely go out and create more babies, as that what the "Home Schooling" will be teaching them.
Birth control - just do it, or don't do IT, get it? I feel bad for the husband, but it can't be that great after child 17 just popped out, no problems. Another technique, that this poor man must not have learned is "pull out". Definitely not 100% safe, but could prolong #18 until menopause kicks in!
