Michelle Duggar believer who endorses the Quiverfull movement and the teachings of asshat Bill Gothard, just brought her 18th child into the world yesterday, and husband Jim Bob said of the baby “The ultimate Christmas gift from God”, and they are looking forward to having more.
As someone said on an internet forum, there has got to be a pathology to this. Is the pathology her fundamentalism or is it something more? Just because someone can get pregnant doesn’t mean that they should keep doing so. It is unhealthy physically and her children cannot grow up in a mentally normal environment. The older ones are little parents to the younger ones and are slaves to the family “cult” as Michelle keeps spreading her legs for her husband and lays around growing babies inside her and getting lots and lots of media attention. Is that it? Do some women simply love the attention they get from the doctors, friends and family members when they are preggers?
Medical experts warn that a woman’s uterus has to be exhausted and extremely prolapsed from many pregnancies over the years, and that over the years a woman’s uterus loses the elasticity and strength to carry children safely. And with age, a woman also has a higher risk of producing children with birth defects and Down’s syndrome. Does this worry Jim Bob? Is he concerned about his wife’s safety? Nope…“We both would love to have more,” he said.
(A bit about this Bill Gothard from Wikipedia: Gothard was also accused by some of being hypocritical for not practicing what he preaches about conflict resolution,[16] and for his “quiverfull” teachings that married believers should eschew birth control and have as many children as possible, given that Gothard himself is unmarried and childless, even into his 70s)
