| American right-wing family pregnant with 18th child
Okay, I appreciate that I'm lining myself up for a barrage of jokes here but...
The Duggar family from Arkansas in the USA have announced they're expecting their 18th baby in January next year. Jim Bob (seriously) and his wife Michelle have 17 children (10 boys and 7 girls) including two sets of twins, all of whom have names starting with the letter 'J'.
They're conservative baptists (he was a Republican state legislator) who believe in the concept of Quiverfull which basically means they believe every child is a gift from God himself and that contraception is evil. They live debt free (by getting their friends to help them build a house and by claiming their home is a church to get tax breaks). 18 kids?! It's not a clown car!
They used to have a family website but it's now diverting here. Check out wikipedia for more fun Duggar facts! |

i don't think you can get away with the church thing with your current house. though if you're planning the "get yer mates to build somehwere" thing you could make it look like a proper church then maybe get away with it.

Ah, the Duggars. Their ideas have terrified me for a long time. I'm sure they love their children and are nice parents and all, but may their beliefs forever remain relegated to the minority. Remember, folks:

14, and she's easily young enough to have another 12 births if she manages 2 pairs of twins. sorted. | |

*
Average number of months between Duggar births is 18.
*
Estimated number of Duggar diapers to date is 90,000.
*
The Duggars do approximately 200 loads of laundry each month.
| A child every one-and-a-half years. How many of those nappies are disposable? How much water are they getting through? Bloody hell. I remember some right wing articles expressing 'concern' over the fact that Muslims (read: non-white people, eeew) have more children on average and are soon going to TAKE OVER EUROPE and destroy the Christian race, or something.

Fair play to big Jim Bob, the hispanics will take over soon if his wife doesn't keep firing them out. | |

I ask only because with the lack of their website being up and running (more servers less children people) I am unaware what their ideas are other then "every child being a gift from god" which is probably how most parents feel anyway (admitadly most parents aren't that greedy so as to have as many gifts fae the big man but still.) and the standard anti-contraception tripe.
