I can't even begin to explain how much this irritates me.



Michelle Duggar 'trying' to get pregnant with 20th child

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar would like to increase their family to an even 20 kids.

After suffering a devastating miscarriage in December 2011, Michelle Duggar is trying to get pregnant again with her 20th child. The "19 Kids and Counting" reality TV mom says she and husband Jim Bob Duggar are hoping to be "blessed" with another pregnancy.

"I would hope, but we are not expecting right now," Michelle, 47, shares in a new interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop. "I would be so grateful if the Lord blessed us with another one. We're trying at this point and we shall see if that is a possibility. If not, we are so thankful and grateful for the ones that God has given us so far. We are also definitely enjoying our grandbabies! They are so precious!"

Michelle and Jim Bob, 48, are already parents to 19 children with names all starting with "J," and have three grandchildren: Their oldest son Josh, 25, is a father of three with wife Anna: Mackynzie, 4, Michael, 2, and Marcus, 4 months.

In an interview with the TODAY show in April, Michelle and Jim Bob, married 29 years, said they have considered adopting their 20th child. "We're praying about if the Lord would want us to adopt," Michelle said. Jim Bob added, "We have set up our home to be designed for taking care of children. We love children, and we really believe every child is a special gift from God."

Michelle tells Celebrity Baby Scoop that she doesn't believe in overpopulation. "We have studied it and I believe that there is a misconception about overpopulation. I think that the whole mindset of overpopulation is really overrated," the Duggar family matriarch explains. "A few years back, we stated that the whole population of the world could be stood shoulder-to-shoulder in Jacksonville. That may have changed a little bit since we've heard that statistic."

"I think that there is this ideology that goes behind overpopulation that I don't really agree with," she adds. "It's a different perspective and that's where people have their different ideas, and that's okay. That's what makes the world go around; there are many different ideas and different perspectives about certain topics."

To me, the entire "quiverfull" mindset is just ... bizarre ~

"A few years back, we stated that the whole population of the world could be stood shoulder-to-shoulder in Jacksonville"

I doubt that, but in any event who wants to live that way? Jesus tapdancing Christ! Overpopulation concerns entail a lot more than whether there is room on the planet for people to stand, sit or lay down. I guess she hasn't heard of drought, starvation, water shortages and such. Some people are so ignorant. Too bad they reproduce.

The woman is addicted to being pregnant. What she doesn't tell you is that after she weans the babies (about six months or so), she passes them off to her older daughters (also known as the J-Slaves) to raise, sort of like sister-moms.
