I’d have 20 babies if I could…

… though I’d dress them more fashionably and wouldn’t be caught dead with that perm. I jest. I think they are a lovely family.

Michelle Duggar announced recently that she and her family are expecting their 20th child. Now the poor woman has to defend herself against some of the nastiest comments I ever read. For heaven’s sake, this is someone’s wife and mother… not the Octomom. She and her husband are a loving couple devoted to their family; why shouldn’t she want to add another addition?

And really, who’s business is it anyway? Her twenty children are not going to deplete the earth’s resources. They will grow up to get jobs and pay taxes, and those taxes will be used to pay for someone else who doesn’t want to work but complain on message boards about over-population and suggest women sew their reproductive organs closed. And that was the most charitable thing I read.

A lot of pro-choicers weighed in to suggest sterilization. Yikes! Forced sterilization is the antithesis of allowing a woman the power to chose her family planning methods. In fact, everything the pro-choicers suggested was sick and perverted and clearly the very opposite of choice.

Sigh. Pro-choicers can be so violent and unstable sometimes. I think liberalism should be classified as a mental illness in the DSM-IV, bless their precious little souls.
