It's kind of understandable to be defensive if people are telling parents of large families they, morally, shouldn't have had one or more of the children they obviously love. It's such an emotive argument, and one expressed so badly online in a lot of cases, i can see why people might snap back even when it's a legitimate point sensitively made.

Well, yeah.

I am not in favor of laws restricting how many children a woman can have which is precisely why I feel very free to voice my opinion that ppl who have large broods make me wonder about their psychological state and make me question how much real thought they've given to the actual lives of their kids.

My ex-wife's mother was one of 17 kids; very Catholic peasant stock. It's weird how many can die and there's still a huge family.

Do you know what the secret of comity is? (Michael White), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 18:56 (twelve years ago) link

The parents of these excessively large families seem to be addicted to the process of having babies. It's like Logan's Run, but once a child reach the age of 3, the kid is suddenly transformed into the caretaker of the next kid. Mom & Dad must be delegating a hell of a lot to make time for all that baby making.

Hmm, so while preg and during b-feeding, no 'eggs' are released, right?

So, does that process of having an enormous amount of kids put off the menopause?

I wouldn't rely on the second half of that statement

In a bombshell lawsuit that exposes the shocking ways women are treated in the Quiverfull movement — the patriarchal program popularized by the Duggar family and its TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting — attorneys representing Lourdes Torres have revealed details of the abuse she received from Doug Phillips of Vision Forum.

The lawsuit [PDF], which includes counts of sexual battery and assault, details the “inappropriate, unwanted, and immoral sexual acts committed by Douglas Phillips against Ms. Torres,” noting that Phillips “methodically groomed Ms. Torres” since she was 15 years old “so that she would eventually participate in illicit sexual rendezvous with him promising that she could one day marry him” and “repeatedly told Torres that this was possible because his wife, Beall Phillips, was going to die soon.”

Phillips, one of the most prominent leaders of the Quiverfull movement, last year admitted to having “a lengthy, inappropriate relationship with a woman.” Phillips is extremely close to the Duggar family. In 2010, Torres was featured at the end of a video message at Phillips’ “Baby Conference” thanking Michelle Duggar, to whom Phillips had presented a “Mother of the Year” award.

five months pass...

Josh Duggar, one of the members of the family that stars in TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" ... was the subject of a police investigation for allegedly sexually molesting 5 girls, some of whom are his sisters.
The story was broken by In Touch Weekly, but TMZ has confirmed with law enforcement that Josh Duggar -- who was around 14 at the time -- was the alleged molester against 5 girls starting in 2002.
According to the police report, Josh fondled the genitals and breasts of the girls, some of whom were sleeping, but sometimes they were interacting with him ... in one case reading a book.
There was another reported incident 9 months later. According to the police report, the police were not immediately contacted. Instead, Jim Bob, the dad, met with church elders and agreed Josh should be put in a treatment program. The police report says Josh's mom, Michelle, said it wasn't really a treatment center ... they simply sent Josh to a guy who was remodeling a building to do manual labor.
In 2006, the family was scheduled to appear on "Oprah," and before the show someone sent an email to Harpo warning that Josh had molested girls. Harpo forwarded the email to a hotline, which triggered a police investigation.
Cops wanted to question Josh, but Jim Bob lawyered him up and Josh declined the invitation.
Josh, who is now 27, apparently cannot be charged because the statute of limitations has run.
As for the Duggars, one of the family members told investigators, "this entire incident had brought the family closer to God" ... this according the police report.

I like how they sent him to a state trooper they knew for a stern talking to - and that state trooper is now doing 56 years in prison on child porn charges

Οὖτις, Thursday, 21 May 2015 23:37 (eight years ago) link

oh how that "stern talk" must have gone

Οὖτις, Thursday, 21 May 2015 23:38 (eight years ago) link

When Josh returned, the Duggars still did not contact authorities. Instead, they took him to Arkansas State Trooper Jim Hutchens's home. He was a Duggar family friend. According to the report, Hutchens did not take any official action and instead gave Josh a "very stern talk." In Touch reports that Hutchens is now serving 56 years in prison for child pornography.

I knew ILX would have a thread about this story, I just had no idea it would be titled "vaginas are not clown cars."

Mr. Snrub, Friday, 5 June 2015 23:36 (eight years ago) link

Not least because "clown car" implies accommodating numerous individuals simultaneously, not in succession.

ed.b, Saturday, 6 June 2015 15:48 (eight years ago) link

At the circus, clown car arrives, clown gets out followed by another clown, then another, until an unfeasible amount of clowns have alighted from the vehicle.

There. Who says analysing comedy kills the humour?

Mark G, Saturday, 6 June 2015 16:19 (eight years ago) link

But then the oldest clown starts molesting the younger ones.
