With all the bad that is happening in the Duggar world let us be kind to the Pregnant women.

My wife reminded me of this last night.


No matter how much news this is and how incredibly disgusted with the Duggar family. Keep in mind Josh's wife Anna and his sister Jessa are expecting. The Stress isn't good for either woman or the babies.


My wife has sent out well wishes that neither woman suffers from everything that is happening that could cause her to lose the baby.


I just thought it was a nice sentiment to share. My wife and I want the Duggars and their deranged empire to be exposed and punish justly BUT we do not want the stress to effect either mother or unborn child.

On the other hand there should still be some concern that they are not being subjected to another sexual predator. This situation is not uncommon in the world of Fundamentalist Christian hypocrisy.

miscarry. I know it sounds like a strange thing to worried about but she does. My wife would love to see Jim Bob Michelle and Josh to be held responsible for what happen. My wife is frustrated at the fact Michelle did NOTHING considering these where her daughters.

When you even disagree with show content you are in some way prolonging the agony. The producers of this show and others know what they are doing highlighting the lives of people who live on the fringes. The Duggar's and their reality show is about sex in the context of a family that has conflicting values centered around sex. This sort of pressure is deviant and is not healthy.

I don't see any path for them that doesn't involve a lot of stress.

Not my body, not my kids, but if it were? I'd get the hell away from him and the entire dysfunctional family. Go off and raise the kid as a single mom and divorce him, and get the kids away from him too, with only supervised parental visits, if that. Had a friend who had a mentally and emotionally and physically abusive husband, only married him because she got pregnant by him and both families were pressuring her. Stuck it out until after the third kid by him, only finally got the will to leave him when she found out he was sexually molesting their kids. I know it's really tough, but if you find out your partner has a history as a molester of kids as young as 5, I really think you need to find a way to keep him away from your kids til they're 18.

molested others? Even in his own family. We don't. But they are so controlled by the father and the bigoted religion they follow it's not unreasonable to think other secrets are being kept. I fear for the baby in that woman's womb.

She agrees. We both know people who cop to what they got caught doing only to hide the fact that they have done worse.

psychological or magical cure other than keeping these predators away from children. Josh Duggan should be labeled as a sexual prevert and put on the list that alerts other people to avoid him.
