A blogger at the Washington Post writes that the internet seems to be mad at Michelle Duggar for getting pregnant AGAIN. I thought it was all about choice and when that choice doesn't fit in with the popular trends...beware.
"Now it would seem, the view is that a woman’s only place is at her desk, in a pantsuit, with a nanny at home watching her two children. She must be a card-carrying supporter of Planned Parenthood, or else she is complicit in the ever-illusive “war on women.”
"That view presents a woman who is opposed to abortion, eschews contraception, opts out of a career to tend to her children, or has a large family (or all of the above), as anti-feminist, oppressed, and ignorant. It, ironically, makes her a second-class citizen, because of her choice. "

But I've seen pro-aborts holding signs saying only, "Trust Women." When I ask them which women they are referring to, conveniently the cat gets their tongue right at that moment.
Sadly I've even seen *Pro life* websites with people who claim to be pro life commenting hateful, ugly things about her.
I guess it's like my husband says: "There are really three types of people: pro life, pro choice, and those who are simply anti abortion"
There's a difference in being pro life and being anti abortion. Pro lifers celebrate all life and believe in *true* choice, allowing women to decide to have or not have more children. Anti abortionists may not bleieve in abortion but still think it's their job to tell everyone else to hop on the birth control pill (or some other form) like it's any of their business.
The Duggars have raised several lovely young ladies and gentlemen, have several more to go that they look as though they are doing a fine job with. They are debt free, don't take any form of gov't assistance and pay their taxes (even their property taxes, contrary to popular internet rumors that they claim their house is a church so they don't have to pay them), and do a lot of charity work for others.
Yes, by all means, let's not let *those* kinds of people have more children to raise. They might become... gasp... conservative voters!!! LOL
