Stop Breeding, Assholes!

I Like It I Don't Like It
Have you folks ever heard of the Duggars. My wife, actually, is completely fascinated with them. They are this crazy, Bible-thumping, wackjob couple in Arkansas who currently have 17 offspring between the ages of nine months and 20 years old, who are all home schooled and basically sheltered from reality, destined to eventually fly the coop and have a mad Rumspringa-type meltdown before coming back to live with their parents, where they'll all sleep five to a bed.

Anyway, if you know them at all, you know them because, every few weeks seemingly, Mrs. Duggar spits out another kid (and, after 17, that's more literal than metaphoric) and TLC creams their pants to give them a televised special. In fact, so far as I know, this -- and the charity of the good Christian folks of Arkansas -- supplies the majority of their income (Jim Duggan once ran for Congress, but expectedly lost; I think he sells vinly siding or something now). In fact, a couple of years ago, when it was apparent that the Duggars needed a new house to shelter all of their children, TLC built them one and filled their pantry. TLC has become their welfare check, and Michelle Duggar always seems ready to collect.

Well, Mrs. Duggar is pregnant again, expecting her 18th child this winter. And I'm here to say: Stop it, lady. The world doesn't need another Duggar. There's no reason, other than simple narcissism, to keep procreating. You're single handedly causing the absorption of entirely too many natural resources and, in exchange, giving the world nothing but an additional headache in return. Eventually, TLC and the kindness of your neighbors is going to dry up, and you're going to be left with 18 goddamn kids and not enough means to support them. And then I'm going to be writing about Duggars on the pages of QuizLaw for the next 30 years. So, do us all a favor, Michelle: Do whatever you need to do -- yank out your uterus and sew your vagina shut, if you must -- but stop making babies.
