Just how bad is the Duggars and the "Quiverfull" movement?

It's worse than you thought.

Women are ONLY brood mares.

A '9/11 Every Day': The Radical Anti-Contraception Ideology That Links The Duggars And The Anti-Choice Right

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Tuesday, 5/26/2015 11:43 am

The sex abuse scandal engulfing the Duggar family has put yet another unwanted spotlight on Quiverfull, the radical self-proclaimed Christian “patriarchy” movement of which the Duggars are the most prominent spokespeople. But what is too often missed in the fascination over Quiverfull beliefs and the lives of its reality-star adherents is how closely this radical anti-feminist ideology is tied to the policy priorities of the anti-choice Right and its increasingly vocal opposition to contraception access.

1. Great info

The pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions - how did I not think that they hadn't come up with that by themselves.

2. Oh, it's awful

Seriously, the quiverfull movement is a ****ing cult. Avoid it like the plague. Do not engage. Do not try to use reason. Just get out of there.

3. There is nothing 'Christian' about forcing women to breed 20+ children

The scripture in question - 'Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them' - comes from Psalms which Old Testament so that was well before Jesus even existed. So to say that is somehow a 'Christian Values' is a load a crock - that is nothing more than pulling random bible scriptures from the old testament and making up your own religion especially when the same group pretty much ignores the stuff actually associated with the teachings of Jesus (ie - judge not lest ye be judge, love one another (and molesting one's sister does not count), helping those less fortunate).

The Quiverful movement is nothing more than a Cult where men want to treat women as brood mares who are barely given an education an expected to stay pregnant for the bulk of their life.

4. "Submissive Wives' Guide to Marriage" a new show on TLC

I can't post a link with this phone. Basically it's free (profit making) advertisement for this kind of cult thinking.

5. Who the fuck owns TLC - This channel makes Faux News look like a Progressive News Network

I thought that network was suppose to be about Learning.

6. Discovery Communications.

Yes TLC was once actually about Learning but not much anymore.

8. After Honey Boo and now this it seems to be 'Learning how to be Pedophiles and Molesters'

No wonder I canceled my cable tv two years ago!

9. I thought you were joking so I looked it up

10. Yep

I think I first heard about it froman article at Wonkette.

It's on the air because it's cheap to make and clearly someone wants that message to get out. They can call it anything they want but it is an abusive situation

11. Their agenda is showing

They should change their name to TFC the fundie channel. This kind of propaganda is very insidious.

7. They are sick fucks.

When he was running for the Senate in 2002, he said that incest should be punishable by death.

This clan takes hypocrisy to a whole new level.
