Abortioneers blog support Duggars "choice"


The Abortioneer's Blog sticks up for the Duggars stating that if we are pro choice, we have to respect their choice. Good for them. They also do not go off too much about the photos of the deceased daughter at the funeral....too much. They don't like them mind you,  because they may make someone else feel shame over a miscarriage or abortion. Grieve over your miscarriage ....I get. Miscarriage and abortion are not the same thing. Abortion is intentional...miscarriage is not. The post is not mean spirited but there is a concern that the visual image of the daughter might trigger something......maybe that this is a baby...a real person...a human and that is damaging to the "abortion is no big deal"  crowd.

"And I fear how these photos will be used going forward. Anti-choice propaganda is rife with these sorts of images. Some, caring and gentle, like Michelle’s memorial photos, others, bloody and violent. I fear that these photos will go viral and will be used to further a message that I find to be so damaging to women in our society. I fear that someone, somewhere is going to see these triggering images, and feel pain or shame or guilt over her own miscarriage or abortion. I fear the a woman who is looking at her life and considering her choices is going to feel shamed into a choice she doesn’t want to make by these images. I worry about the harm that this image can, and likely will, do."
The photos are true. It is a human being, a boy or girl...if this causes someone considering abortion to make a different choice......that is good. The truth is always in good taste.  Certainly you would not want the woman to make such an important and life altering decision based upon a lie

It is not tacky to have photos or videos of a baby lost to miscarriage.....just like it is not tacky to view the remains of a deceased  loved one that is born. Those photos were  of the foot and hand...how is this tacky??It was done with taste. If the Duggars wished for these to be private, shame on the person who released them.

One of the more popular posts on this blog is of a child that born in TN  at 34 weeks gestation that lived just a short time. The funeral service was truly a celebration of life and beautiful. This picture is on their public Facebook page.

Michelle Duggar:Feminists do not like her choice....

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. "

Number 20 on the way.....Duggars

The Duggars are expecting their 20th.  Watch for the media to condemn them for their quiverfull attitude.
 Before you get too critical,  remember that they are excellent parents who take very good care of their  well behaved  and happy children. They are not on any public assistance. So what's  the beef?








"We are so excited," says Michelle, 45, who is now about three-and-a-half months into her pregnancy and due in April. "I feel good. I am past the sickness stage now."

The Tontitown, Ark., couple, who are parents to children Joshua, 23 (who is married to Anna, 23 and has two children, Mackynzie, 2 and Michael, 4 months), twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; and Jordyn, 3, weathered the medical emergency of their youngest daughter, Josie's birth on Dec. 10, 2009.  "
Michelle says she is in her best shape yet at 45. I believe it. She is working out for an hour on her elliptical. Jealous....I did 40 minutes the other day....I usually do 20 per day but knew I had to increase it as I plateaued.   But I am almost 20 years older than her. 

Best wishes.....
