Stop.

This woman needs to give it a rest.

Just for argument sake.....

Living in Memphis, this has received a lot of press. Husband is a former senator, selling real estate now. They are building a 7,000 square foot house. I haven't seen any reports where they are asking for hand-outs or assistance from the government.

Why does she has to stop?

Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; Jackson Levi, 1

Uh...... Jinger?

Because having 16 children is socially irresponsible. I'm not saying she should be forced to stop, just that I think she should. I like having the wide-open spaces we have left, and I have a serious problem with this whole Ann Coulter style of thinking that God said "Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours." Human's aren't endangered, there's no reason to pop kids out like it's the apocalypse.

 

[Hobbit]

Yeah, that's why she needs to give it a rest. That or stop being a retard every time they ask the baby's name. Could be worse, though. She could've named one of the kids "Apple."

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Uh...... Jinger?

I betchya it's pronounced like Ginger.

Why?

 

[The ClayTaurus]

Why?

Overpopulation.

 

[GotZoom]

Overpopulation.

If they can afford food and shelter, what is the problem.

Unless you want the United States to turn into China.

Having 16 children is reproducing 8 fold. At that rate, we'll be worse off than China in no time.

She's basically been perpetually pregnant since then.

Jim Bob is a moron......have you ever lived with a pegnant woman?....they are insane

In Arkansas, you can get married at age 17 with parental consent.

And the China reference was for the government limiting how many children you are allowed to have, not the population.

There's no reason for her to stop having children!!! They did a story on this family that said they arn't on gov. assistance. They save their money and are responsible parents. She even home schools all of them, so what's the problem?

The world isn't overpopulated, infact most of the European countries are begging their people to have children because they're loosing population. More deaths than births are happening in Germany, Italy and Russia.

Even here in the US the birth rate is just at replacement levels.

 

[Mr. P]

This woman needs to give it a rest.

If Michelle & Jim Bob want more kids what’s the problem?
If she want to be a human rabbit, as long as they can provide for the kids, who am I to so no.

A family down our street has 8 kids. No problems at all with them. House and yard is kept very nice. Kids play outside a lot of time. Parents and kids are very nice and polite.

He is an attorney - rumour has it that he makes about 200 grand a year. Mom stays home.

Where is there a problem with this?

 

[no1tovote4]

The only problem I see is Jim Bob getting any alone time. I only have three kids and the only time I have alone is when I am on the throne. I doubt this guy even gets that. They must have incredible patience.

I don't understant why some people have a problem with larger families. Heck, I get strange looks sometimes and I only have four.

If people can afford lots of kids without assistance then I say go for it. It's not a population issue since many women are deciding to only have 1 or none at all.

What's wrong with that?

The natural state of women as humanity has evolved has been to be perpetually pregnant throughout their reproductive life.

In fact, frequent ovulation is directly linked to increased incidence in uterine and ovarian cancer:

Cancers of the female genital tract is often associated with a high number of menstrual cycles that women have during their lifetime. The modern woman with early menarche, late menopause and infertility is at high risk of such cancers. In contrast, a Stone-Age woman with relative malnutrition, late menarche, repeated pregnancies and prolonged periods of lactation, must have had three to four times less the number of menstrual cycles than her modern counterpart. Coupled with a much shorter life span then, cancer of the uterus and ovaries must be virtually unknown in those days.

So biologically speaking, I would encourage this sort of behavior as being natural.

Sociologically speaking, as long as they all grow up to be lawful and productive contributors to society I say let them have a thousand kids.

One shouldn't be concerned with every couple that produces more than two children. One should be concerned with couples who don't rear the children they produce properly or produce children beyond their means to support them.

Overpopulation? It's a big Universe.


Finally, naming all of them with a "J" first is gay.
