Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Leaving the religion part out of it, I feel like its completely hypocritical that this is supposed to be about valuing life, when the act of getting pregnant at that age is inherently risky. Its downright disrespectful to the thought of honoring life.

hope its not a repost

Duggars Expecting 20th Child By Joyce Eng, TV GUIDE Published 09:15 a.m., Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Make that 20 Kids and Counting.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their 20th child, they announced on their TLC reality show website. Michelle, 45, is due in April.

The first Duggar grandson is born

"Our whole family is so excited that God has blessed us with another child," they wrote. "Each one of our children are thankful to be here! Our goal is to teach & train them to love God and serve others."

The Duggars are already parents to Joshua, 23; twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; and Jordyn, 3, and Josie, 11 months.

Joshua has two, non-J-named children with his wife, Anna: Mackyzine, 2, and Michael, 4 months.

Michelle suffered complications during her pregnancy with Josie, including preeclampsia, forcing Josie to be born three and a half months early. The Duggars call it "one of the scariest things we have ever walked through as a family."

"A lot of people have asked would we consider having more children after what we went through with Josie," they wrote. "We do not take for granted the wonderful blessings of life that God has bestowed upon us! Many years ago, Jim Bob & I gave this area of our lives to God, allowing Him to grant life as He saw fit."

Its weird, the older I get, I do start to judge people more and more.

Its too many kids for one family. I think their methodology to having such a family is weak at best, their entire system of "supporting themselves" smells like a scam from ten miles away including from before the show, I think its fucked that she willingly has high risk pregnancies, and yes, I take care of those fucked up little babies for work. I find it ethically wrong. So much is made about everyone having free will... there comes a point where you go, "nope, we should just stop having kids at this point since its dangerous to us and them."

And I just know they didn't pay for a 3 month NICU stay.

I get what you are saying, but who are you or I to determine what too many is. Shit, for a lot of people, one is too many. I just don't get why people get their panties in a bunch over things that do not effect them in the least. You live your life, I'll live mine and as long as neither one of us infringes upon eachothers well-being, all is good.

Also, women from all over have high risk pregnancies every day and it's happening more and more as couples wait longer to have kids.

I don't care THAT much, but it bothers me if we helped support this family at all.

And I stand by my moral conviction that she shouldn't be having any more kids since they will be at risk.

if effects all of us in a bigger picture sort of way.

family has 20 kids. then those kids have this idea that OK, i should have a bunch of kids too, and it continues. now a family of kids, parents, and grandparents along w spouses is 80+ fucking people. that's a ton of fucking people.

that's 80 people on health care, 80 people buying food, 80 jobs to create, 80 more cars on the road. 80 more peoples worth of trash and shit the buy and throw away.

not everyone has 20 kids, but there's a lot of people that have 4-7 kids instead of 2-3. that's twice or three times as much shit i listed above.

its plain old irresponsible.

I get it. I was just having a discussion with my wife about how the majority of the world's problems are linked to the increase in population.

My problem is with people who pick and choose where to police these sort of social issues. Sure some people probably look at them and say, "Stop reproducing, for the sake of the earth." But, I would guess that the majority of the disagreement comes from a disdain for their religious practices.

It goes back to people preaching freedom, individuality, etc., just as long as it fits into their world view. Which really gets under my skin.
