And Baby Makes….19!

Goodness, what a well spring of human love:

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar told US news service MSNBC they are delighted to discover the impending arrival of their 19th child. Described by the Today program as “glowing,” Michelle Duggar said, “I’m feeling sick and tired, which is a good way to be feeling about right now.”

“I always tell myself that’s a good way to be because that means good things are happening.”

The baby is due to arrive around March 18, 2010.

The family stars in the reality TV show “18 Kids and Counting” airing on TLC. The family are members of the Quiverfull movement among US Protestants that rejects the modern anti-child philosophy and allows God to decide how large their families will be.

The news of Michelle’s pregnancy, only eight months after the birth of their last child Jordyn-Grace, was followed by that of the family’s eldest son, Josh, who announced that his new wife Anna is expecting their first child, who is due on October 18. “Children are a blessing and a gift if you raise them right, and I think my parents have definitely shown that,” Josh Duggar said.

Most people simply will not have 19 children, even if they remain open to Life as God intends – God, I think, is providing a bit of instruction here. The family is happy, filled with love and seems to be completely free of the social pathologies we see in all too many of our families these days…those oh, so “planned” families.

So, how does the left react to this? With the only thing they have – hate:

…When the story was published on the website of the left-leaning Huffington Post, commenters did not hesitate to express their hostility to the Duggar’s openness to life. 1081 commenters responded with nearly uniform outrage that the Duggars, who have no financial problems, live in a large house they built themselves and are not in debt, have the audacity to be happy with their large family.

“Nothing but pure selfishness,” said one…

Mutual self-donation and the open well springs of life are examples of selfishness? Yes, if you are on the left – where the only generosity in existence is government-funded and the proper role of sex is personal pleasure. Rather sad, actually – the fools don’t realize what they’re missing.

Life – always choose life. You’ll never go wrong, that way.
