Wrap it up before you stick it in

The Duggars of Arkansas (why am I not surprised by this?) just dropped their 18th kid.

From the MSNBC website we get this bit of info:

The Duggars are followers of the evangelical Christian movement called Quiverful, which teaches that children are God’s blessing and that husbands and wives should happily welcome every child they are given. In fact, the Duggars' Web site, duggarfamily.com, quotes “Children are a heritage of the Lord” from verse 3 of the 123rd Psalm.

First off, the word "evangelical" is telling, and I suspect their movement is really called Quimful.

Second, just because they should happily welcome every child they are given (should it be any other way?), it doesn't mean you are absolved of the responsibility of keeping your family to a reasonable size. And, give me a break: they weren't just "given" that child; they had more than a passive role in its creation.

Evangelicals, like many other Christian denominations are dead-set against abortions, but you don't see many of them lining up to adopt. In fact, Nebraska just recently rewrote a law lowering the age at which a child could be dropped off with the state (no questions asked) from 17 years down to 30 days. It seems that they were inundated with 35 children dropped off by parents from various states around the country. If their social systems at are risk from collapse because 35 children have been added to the dole, how are they going to manage with all the additional children that will be born should abortion be outlawed?

Where are all these Christian families lining up to adopt these kids? How is it possible that these kids wind up in the social system when we've been told by abortion opponents that there are all these loving, Christian families waiting and willing to adopt? It seems people only want to adopt cherubic, perfectly-healthy, white infants.

Getting back to the Duggars, it seems they have no love for a baby that isn't theirs. Where's their love for their fellow man (child)? How many kids do they need to add to this planet?

These people are pathetic, selfish embarassments.
