Oy, please... of course this is my "in-the-closet" show. I cannot get over this family. They seem like such nice people and yet, the hair cuts, the clothes... I keep waiting for heads to spin 360 degrees. Also, you have noticed that none of the older girls are getting married and some of them are of marrying age, but who'd take care of the rest of the litter?
Yes, yes, if you want sexual freedom to have multiple partners, get tied up, slap your boyfriend around, drip hot wax on your balls, clamp your tits, etc, and the freedom of expression to marry your LGBTQ partner, cheat on them, adopt a child, and raise them as a same sex couple, then Dan is 100% behind you. However, if you want to be celibate before marriage, have one (hetero) partner, and have as many Christian babies as your body will allow, then you should be stopped.
Look, I don't agree with the Duggars' lifestyle at all, and it is nothing I would ever want for myself. I do however, want tolerance of my own sexual and religious and moral expression, so I'm going to go ahead and tolerate them- just like I'd ask them to do for me.
Thanks Dan for finally addressing this batshit couple. Has anyone else noticed that they never show any of the kids in trouble, throwing a tantrum, or yelling at each other? It's so bizarre. I can't wait until one of them comes out. Or until one of the girls really goes wild and wears pants.
PEOPLE Magazine actually confused the possessive and the plural of "baby"... ON THE COVER? I'm hereby nominating this as the saddest attempt to use the English language of 2010.
Are all the people with proofreading skills currently unemployed or flipping burgers? That would explain so much.
@22. My sentiments exactly. Even though it sickens me that people have more and more children while there are so many children in the world without parents, I really, really don't want to live in a country without reproductive freedom.
And Dan, you've been writing this column long enough to call yourself on your own sexism -- plug your spout.
I agree that reproductive freedom also means the right to have as many children as you can care for. If not, we have a situation like China with coerced abortions. Reproductive freedom is the freedom to have children, or not. Hopefully, the Duggar's ob/gyn is strongly suggesting it is time to stop. As a woman gets older the chances that a child born to her will have a major disability such as Down's Syndrome increases.
If you have planet of your own, you may have as many children as it can support. If you are share this planet with the rest of us, you have no right to reproduce at all, as this place is too crowded already. Replacement fertility is tolerable. Anything more should be banned and prevented.
I want to have reproductive freedom as a woman where i choose to reside but I ALSO wish to have freedom from my tax dollars going to support their 18 kids medical costs and schooling........ I decided NOT to have kids though perfectly fertile.......Do I get some type of reimbursement from my state for NOT LITTERING UP THE SYSTEM with 18 progeny??? This is an example of, again, lack of moderation. These folks are irresponsible in their breeding. If they were dogs this would be a puppy mill.....
She doesn't take care of her children, her daughters do. Does reproductive freedom include enslaving the older children so you can keep popping them out? Seems to me that her rights to reproduce shouldn't negate her daughter's rights to raise children when they choose to, but who am I kidding, none of those kids has any choice about anything.
I passionately hate the Duggar family. I think they are disgusting and that they should plug the damn hole. So what if they don't believe in birth control, stop having sex!! Don't be rabbits, seriously. Maybe your baby is having so much health problems because your body no longer has the ability to produce healthy babies. Maybe your eggs are starting to get old, and you're increasing your potential babies chances of Down's Syndrome! There is no need for this many children. STOP IT!
They are just spreading their propaganda that women who show their wrists, necks and ankles are inappropriately dressed and that a woman's job is to push babies out and feed the family. They are bringing back woman's rights to many many years ago.
GRR! They make me so angry. They are allowed to have their religious beliefs, I don't agree with them but don't spread them to your poor innocent children. Yuck.

And no nicknames as a given name.
Mr. Duggar has obviously been hard at work trying to plug that hole...
There's probably not enough resources to plug her hole. Even BP's like "girrrl, we ain't touchin' that..."
Also, haven't studies shown a link to the number of boys you have and one of those boys turning out gay?
Awaiting the Duggars gay son...
This has been a public service announcement.
P.S 10 and 11 you get a comedy gold star!

Serves me right for commenting before I've had my coffee.
