Arkansas couple welcomes 17th child
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday.
Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date.
Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.
"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."
Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old.

I think that family is being very selfish. You cannot be there for those kids emotionally, it's too many! And then they want more...they aren't thinking of children, they are thinking of themselves and the publicity.

OMG YES! When I read that storry, all I could think was "What are those people thinking?" but then it occurred to me that they're doing all their thinking with their genitalia!
However, I have a friend that came from a family of 12 and he never had any kids. Said he did enough diaper changing as a kid that he never wanted to have kids of his own. He and his wife have been married almost 30 years and never had kids. So maybe the Duggars won't be taking over the state in a generation or two.
But, definitely, someone needs to neuter those two!

I don't see any problem in this. They don't live off welfare, are not in debt, and everything they have they own out right. If they want to continue to have children so be it. Our taxes do not go to this family. They are a well rounded nice family. Their children are well behaved and NOT disrespectful at all unlike most children today.

You can still partake in the most fun activity that i can think of, you just have to realize there are ways to prevent the outcome that this family seriously needs to do.

heck, they don't Have time for a hobby, the only free time they have is when they are in bed, so there you go . seems to me like they'd be too tired to try to make more babies!

It's obvious some people don't practice birth control.

VASECTOMY. It's cheap, simple and won't take long to recover from it.
I don't know why they don't see a damn urologist.
