Overpopulation. I think having more than 2 children is irresponsible (except when you have twins the second time). So have 20 kids is disgusting IMHO
Michelle Duggar Miscarries http://tv.yahoo.com/news/michelle-duggar-miscarries-feel-heart-broke-telling-children-221738891.html The Duggars were given heartbreaking news on Thursday. According to People, during a routine check-up where Jim Bob and Michelle were supposed to find out the sex of their 20th child, their doctor was unable to find the baby's heartbeat. Michelle was told that she had miscarried in her second trimester. "After the appointment, we came back home and told the children," the 45-year-old mother of 19 told the mag. "We had just been talking about baby names last night and they were getting excited about naming a boy or a girl. It has been a real sad disappointment." Jim Bob also released a statment confirming the tragic news to Access Hollywood , saying, "Earlier today at a routine doctor's appointment, Michelle and I received the sad news that we lost the baby. Michelle is resting comfortably at home with the support of the entire family. We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers, but ask for privacy during this difficult time." The Duggar matriarch said they will still name the baby after they find out of it was a boy or a girl and they plan to hold a funeral service. "I feel like my heart broke telling my children," she continued. "They have all been so excited about this baby and looking forward to April coming around and having a new little one in our arms. That was the most difficult. The Lord is the giver of life and he can choose when that life is ready to go on and be with Him." This is Michelle's second miscarriage. She previously lost a baby during her second pregnancy, when she was reportedly taking oral birth control. According to the mag, this incident caused the couple to let the number of children they have be "up to God." In addition to their youngest daughter, Josie, who was born in December 2009, the couple is also parents to Joshua, 23 (who has two children, Mackynzie, 2, and Michael, 4 months, with wife Anna, 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.

i hate the way they sensationalize something that is a personal and intimate situation. Thank you TLC for exploiting attention whores. Thanks for making all the women in my life want to watch that crap.
I'm sure they've never used a condom in their lives. The only way she's going to stop getting pregnant before hitting menopause is if they stop ****ing.
Hopefully they have the sense not to try this again. Doubt it though. After all, they've built a whole business for themselves around everyone watching them breed like rabbits. That is probably why they can financially support that many kids, even though it still doesn't solve the problem of the parents' time and attention, which is addressed by using the older children as substitute parents (well, only the girls, and don't even get me started on that). Still, I hate to hear stories like this because I'm in my second trimester myself - scary to know that can still happen to a baby you thought was going to be OK - though I'm sure your odds are improved if you're younger and haven't already worn out your internal organs doing this more times than nature intended.
if you can afford them, have as many as you want. as long as i don't have to pay for them. but if having just one requires you to go on welfare and food stamps, then you should not be allowed to have a baby. btw, there is nothing MIRACULOUS about giving birth.
The show is probably bringing them in a lot more money. I've read that they have been financially stable even before the show but even so, they have built a business around their lifestyle.
