The Earth is way beyond a sustainable carrying capacity as it is. Soon all these humans will be warring over their lack of resources or differences in their theocracy. Get ready, it's coming, thank you Duggars. The world does not need more human larvae. The Earth is way beyond a sustainable carrying capacity as it is.

I can't remember exactly, but one of the girls said she wanted to be a midwife and another said she wanted to be a chef. Now it seems that one of the girls, perhaps seeing the plight of the youngest baby, who was born prematurely and required special care, wants to be a nurse. Jim Bob and Michelle said that they supported her in her desire, saying that it takes a 'special person' to be a nurse. Let's wish her success in her endeavour! Hi, Josiah.

Roddy, Thank you for writing. As I've often said, my life couldn't be more different than Michelle Duggar's: I've chosen to have only one child (I may adopt if I decide to expand my family, but my "quiver" is full with the one biological daughter I have); I use birth control; I earn my own income; I don't believe that women are meant to "submit" to their husbands; and I belong to a church but don't consider myself a fundamentalist. Still, I don't know if Michelle Duggar's lifestyle is any worse (or better, for that matter) than mine. I don't agree with all or even most of the Quiverfull movement's beliefs, particularly their view of women. On the other hand, I've probably come across more misogyny in some sectors of the overpopulation movement, for example, than I have in the Quiverfull movement. Maybe the Duggars aren't happy all the time, but are one- and two-child families happy all the time either? Also, I do think they shelter their children far more than I would ever shelter mine. With regard to one of the older Duggar kids hanging around the biker kids... I don't know. The question many people have asked is what would the Duggars do if one of their children turned out to be gay. I don't know, but just because they (probably) consider homosexuality a sin it doesn't mean they wouldn't love a gay child (on the opposite side of the spectrum, apparently the ultra-liberal Cher disinherited her daughter Chastity temporarily when Chastity admitted she was a lesbian). So it's hard to know exactly what goes through the Duggars' minds. Dear A. Roddy,

Thank you for writing. As I’ve often said, my life couldn’t be more different than Michelle Duggar’s: I’ve chosen to have only one child (I may adopt if I decide to expand my family, but my “quiver” is full with the one biological daughter I have); I use birth control; I earn my own income; I don’t believe that women are meant to “submit” to their husbands; and I belong to a church but don’t consider myself a fundamentalist.

There is a dark side to everything. Parents of two children usually have to work and make a living. Not all are spaced out on drugs. It is unrealistic to compare families of five or less with the Duggars. It isn't the # of kids but their beleifs that frighten me. I get more disturbed the more I find out about their beliefs. Many who were fans at the beginning like me have changed their tune. I mean the kids are great. The parents are another story. Another thing that gripes is the 'one big happy family' mantra. How do we know all are happy in big families? Noone is happy all the time regardless of how they are portrayed on TV.And 19 kids and no drama? No sibling rivalry?

Regarding the Duggars, no, it wouldn't be my choice to have 20 kids, but I don't think their children are suffering. Will the girls be pressured to have as many kids as they can pump out? That I can't say. I laugh because even though I've chosen to have only one child, my daughter's decided that she's going to have three babies. I say "not too soon!" (i.e. at least be 20 years old). However, the number of kids she has is up to her. About Michelle not practising self-control... again, her decision wouldn't be mine, but I think she has made a conscious choice to have the children she did, so I don't think she's lacking self-control.

Michelle could die if she gets pregnant again....or she could endanger the life of another innocent child. I really hope they use some common sense and dont' end up pregnant again.

It is really disgusting when someone calls a mother over 40 endangering her child when there are much worse. and the ones who should be charged with child endangerment are the 20 something expectant mothers strung out on crack and live with abusive mates or spouses.
