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!

Whoever you are, you sound like a very bitter, angry woman. Why do you feel it is necessary to denigrate another woman the way you have? I thought we were supposed to support one another. I guess that is only true if the other woman is in complete agreement with you and doing everything exactly as you would have them do.
A fellow anonymous reply to anonymous--
I think that some people react with anger regarding stories like this because, let's face it - people like this need a reality check. What if everyone started to act like this? What if everyone started having sex without birth control and 'letting god will the outcome'?
These people are irresponsible. They are irresponsible in the grand scheme of things. Imagine the number of truly needy children in foster homes they could have taken in if they had used birth control. But instead, they continue to reproduce like bunnies. It's sad.
If the Duggars simply have to be surrounded by children, imagine how wonderful it would be if they had had one biological child and adopted the remaining 16. Now that would be something worth supporting.
There is NOTHING wrong with a husband and wife wanting to have a family. It doesn't matter whether they want just one child, or as many or more than the Duggars have.
Calling Michelle and Jim Bob irresponsible is silly. They are caring for their children, they're not in debt, they can pay for whatever the kids need.
There are many people that are very irresponsible in this world. JimB and Michelle are not among them. I believe they are truly in love...
I especially think that the homeschooling is awesome. Sending children to public school ruins them.
I wish Michelle and her family luck with their 18th. Have as many babies as you want, Michelle and Jim Bob. I do not admire a society that feels they need to make fun of and lecture people who have wonderful lives and wonderful children like you guys do. God bless you and your family!
Adopt 16 children says anonymous!?!
Obviously that person has no real experience with adoption....
These days, you adopt kids, you are 90% likely to end up with a very messed up family...why do you think most children are put up for adoption? Actually, most are TAKEN from drug/alcohol addicted moms (usually no dads in sight) and good intentioned couples end up with FAS, drug addicted children who struggle with ADHD and any other number of disabilities for the rest of their lives. This might sound quite pessimistic, but believe me, I speak from absolute life experience and first hand witness of many foster and adoptive families. I will NEVER adopt. JimBob and Michelle however, are producing kids who will have the heart to do such a thing, so keep it up, Duggars!
Les, step out of your bubble/sheltered life. I am sorry for your obviously messed up life, I assume you have serious daddy issues, and your mother was likely beat and on drugs. Adoption is actually a good thing and my life experience shows many great adoptions. I agree that many bad things happen in the world, unwanted children are born everyday hooked on drugs, but once again, that supports my views..Birth Control!! Thank you for your comment, and please use birth control!
Anymore than 10 kids and your over doing it, thats just ridiculas. And with 18 kids do you really think home schooling is working out? These parents aren't proffesional teachers and obviously couldn't keep up with 18 children. This will only further the intelligence drop in the south we still have to this day of uneducated children working the low mans jobs, which unfortunately is mostly manned by mexicans where I come from. GL WITH THAT!
Well considering the fact that their son Josh already has two successful business endeavours I would say the children arent stupid. The can have as many children as they want, if they can have children, and can support them why not? The poster of this article needs to take their head out of whomevers rear end and grow up!
Let me guess, the last post- you have overpopulated the world like the Duggars and believe the the good lord put us mere mortals on the Earth only to procreate? And when you die, you will have 1000's of offspring on your planet? Does that sound about right?
Wow, it's scary, the self-righteous nazi-types coming out on this topic. Judging from the comments on this site, apparently there is some limit on the number of children responsible parents are allowed to have; instead we have a duty to take care of all the unwanted children of whores and drug-addicts. Maxx_power - the best argument you've made for birth control in your rants is your own existence. Since you seem to have the inside track on the good Lord's intentions, if we're not earth to procreate, what are we here for? To write vapid, hateful, spiteful articles about good, productive, kind-hearted Christians?
Father of 5- Spoken like one of the true brainwashed Christians! Please, come back and site Bible versus for us, as I'm certain you are one of the small minds that takes the Bible on a word for word basis instead of what it was really designed for. JC really doesn't want you to procreate as much as you can, it's a thing called responsibility!
It's amazing that they have such disregard for the rest of the world. The earth cannot support families having more than three children each (maybe in the past but not with our diminishing resources.) Fanatics cannot ignore the degradation of the Earth. Of course they don't believe in facts or science...or as the Duggars would call it, "witchcraft."
I have followed their show on TLC and now have great respect for this family and I will admit I thought it was crazy at first. Their love for each other, behavior of their children and their devotion to their faith is something all of us should strive for. I wonder if a minority family did this that they would receive the same criticism as a conservative Christian family. Last time I checked this was a free country. This family is raising future adults that will be responsible and productive. Do not comment negatively on The Duggars until you have watched their show and witnessed this for yourself.
In response to Les,
Are you serious? I take great offense to that. Both my brother and I are adopted, and it's true, I have ADD and he has ADHD and slight social disabilities, but we are able to work through that. Because a true family tries to help each other. Just because we're both from entirely different families doesn't mean anything. My adoptive dad wasn't able to reproduce, is all. ADHD isn't a bad thing, and just because our parents may have been addicts, it's the way a kid is brought up that determines whether they will be or not. My birthmom started using heroin at age 13 and I've been clean since birth. The babies don't come with the drugs, for Christ's sake.
Also, the Duggars need to quit it with the kids. Seriously, Michelle's probably a slip-n-slide by now. Jim Bob can't POSSIBLY be getting any satisfaction from that anymore.
