Michelle Duggar caused quite a stir in the news media when she gave birth to her 17th child not that long ago. I posted about it in this story: “Quiverfull as God allows.”
Michelle Duggar continues to be “quiverfull” for the Lord”
Happy Mother’s Day: Woman pregnant with 18th child
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It’s a happy Mother’s Day for an Arkansas woman — she’s pregnant with her 18th child.
Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year’s Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.
“We’ve had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us,” she said, laughing.
The Duggars’ oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.
The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.
The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or “jurisdictions” — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a “jurisdiction swap,” where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.
“The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass,” she said. “The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms,” among other chores.
Duggar said she’s six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they’ll keep having children as long as God wills it.
“The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated,” Jim Bob Duggar said. “Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen.”
The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.
They just keep plopping out babies because they believe it’s the Lawd’s will, but what about this “free will” and personal choices that Xians say they have? To me, this is highly irresponsible, and selfish. Why not adopt some of those children out there who need homes if you have so much desire to have children? Why does not their God call them to take in the needy and homeless children of our country instead of mindlessly plopping out more and more of their own?
Maybe it’s not so mindless. Maybe they are doing it for money and publicity? This comment might explain it all:

I wonder how much they get paid for that?

Reminds me of Cletus!
Uh, "Clevon," my bad!
ROTFLMAO...that was so fucking funny! LOL!
Hilarious....but not at the same time.
After reading this in the news I thought the same thing. What are they thinking!!
This Duggar story reminds me of an exchange you will probably remember between Groucho and one of his contestants on “You Bet Your Life”
Groucho: “Why do you have so many children? That’s a big responsibility and a big burden.”
Contestant: “Well because I love my children and I think that’s our purpose here on Earth, and I love my husband.”
Groucho: ” I love cigars too, but I take it out of my mouth once in awhile.”
LOL Stardust!
Personally, in today's over-crowded cities and nations, I think it should be a crime for any family to have more than 3 ... oh .. hell with it - maybe 4 children.
Maybe if we punnished xtian families that don't believe in using contraceptives by sending their kids to an atheist camp, they would stop having kids? lol
I forget who said this first: it's a vagina, not a clown car.
Bob, that's a great quote and sums it all up perfectly.
She is a human being, not a cat or rabbit.
