Duggar Family Welcomes Baby #18

[a kennedy]

:puke: :puke: :puke:

ROGERS, Ark. — An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child. Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long.

"The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters."

The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters.

Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night.

"We both would love to have more," he said.

The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars, called "17 Kids and Counting." Chris Finnegan of TLC _ which handles public relations for the Duggar family _ said the show's name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby's delivery.

1. Disgusting.

Someone's needs to put a lock box around Jim Bob Duggar's junk.

[Alter Ego]

6. I think the phrase "It's a vagina, not a clown car"

applies here.

[cboy4]

7. Yea, no shit!

I think I remember seeing a poster stating that!

[hamsterjill]

12. Amen, brother!!!

It's horrible the way they pimp their children.

[HillWilliam]

13. Isn't it just swell

they have all those little exemptions from taxes we pay, thanks to a right we can't have? How nice for them.

The obscenity is mind-boggling. :nuke:

[bunnies]

2. Selfish fuckers.

These conversations always get me into trouble. But I just cant help myself. These assholes should be FINED. :nuke:

[dems_rightnow]

14. How many kids......

before a person gets fined for having them? Just wondering the limit.

[bunnies]

16. I dont know.

But I do that the Earth cant handle people behaving like this. We *need* people to reproduce responsibly.

[dems_rightnow]

17. I can agree with that.

But fining people for having kids.... not a good plan. Seriously.

3. The ultimate gift from God

which will go well with all those more earthly gifts from sponsors.

(Ok I'm sore because nobody has come forward to pay me for having fathered just two children.)

[peace frog]

9. Few would willingly

prostitute their children for the sake of sponsorship money. It worked well for the Duggars, getting them out of the trailer park and all (and who knows, a few of those kids might actually have enough gray matter to get through college), but a family's privacy and peace of mind are more important. Unless, like the Duggars, you have a creepy cultish worldview and a strong desire to cash in on your fertility. :sarcasm:

4. Welcome, Jordyn-Grace Makiya!

[chemenger]

5. I wonder what this family's carbon footprint is?

n/t

[LeftinOH]

8. They're part of the "Quiverfull" movement (having lots & lots of kids):

By their own admission-

(from Wikipedia):
Its viewpoint is to eagerly receive children as blessings from God, eschewing all forms of birth control, including natural family planning and sterilization.

11. This would be a real challenge in the current economy

but even under the best of circumstances, this is too much for most people.

[bluestateguy]

10. I will respect their lifestyle choice

Now I only ask that they respect other choices that other women may make when confronted with an unwanted pregnancy.

[bdamomma]

15. good luck financing all those kids!

[Beaverhausen]

18. "We would love to have more" Jesus Christ...why not bond with this one first?

these children certainly aren't getting the love and attention children need.

This couple must have some kind of addiction. They need to be stopped.

[onethatcares]

19. why does the sound

"pffffffffffffffffurp" come to mind when I saw this picture? Do you think she does the Kliegle/klegel/whatever:shrug:
