Yesterday, Josh Duggar — the eldest child of the 19 Kids and Counting Duggar family who admitted to molesting his own sisters as a teenager — announced that he and his long-suffering wife are expecting their fifth child.

“For nearly the last two years, we have quietly worked to save our marriage, focus on our children, and rebuild our lives together as a family. Doing so is never easy after a breach of trust. We’ve learned that a life of faith and rebuilding a life together is simply done one day at a time,” the message posted to the family’s website read. “As we continue our journey as a family and rebuild our lives, we are delighted to share with you that we are expecting a new baby boy later this year. Beauty comes from ashes and we cannot wait to see and kiss the face of this sweet new boy!”

When new of the molestations first broke, Anna told PEOPLE magazine that her husband confessed his “past teenage mistakes” before he proposed to her. She has said that she does not believe in divorce. The Duggars belong to the Quiverfull evangelical movement, which prohibits birth control and teaches that father is the ultimate authority in the home.

Josh, who had avoided facing charges for molesting five children as a teenager, committed himself to an in-patient, faith-based sex rehab facility for six-months, emerging in 2016 with the intention to reunite with his wife.

1. I takes a special kind of monster to go on conceiving one's future molestation victims.

Poor kid. It's not even born yet, and it's heading for a life of awfulness...

[MineralMan]

2. I. Do. Not. Care.

I don't care to know anything about any of the Duggars. They are entirely irrelevant to my life. I cannot see how they are relevant as a discussion topic on DU, either.

They are "reality" show characters.

4. I was thinking the same thing. There are more important fish to fry.

7. They epitomize and personify the hypocrisy of the Christian right. I'm all in favor of ridiculing...

... them at every opportunity. It only takes a moment... and it's fun!

8. OK, but I see us facing a tremendously difficult task, and I'm

becoming impatient with distractions from that. Usually, I just ignore irrelevant topics like this one, but I'm just too worried that we will forget what we need to actually do.

We've done that before, you know.

13. That Quiverfull movement is important to know about

because is it widespread and growing.
I am wondering how many male members of teh sect are in public office.

3. They should name it "Ashley Madison Duggar" (And it'll work for either a boy or girl!)

6. Perfect.

5. I'm surprised he doesn't have a WH job

Sexual predator reality TV star-- that sounds really familiar

9. Why can't these people just go away?

[Calculating]

10. Don't you know their horrifying secret?

They slowly turn into dust and blow away in the wind if people stop paying attention to them. Attention is the sustenance that keeps them going.

11. I thought they sold their souls to Satan!

But that's a pretty good theory!
