He's a misogynist who believes that if his wife doesn't cater to him she has to expect him to go elsewhere. It's gross.

Why did I imagine this:

...this is why we need laws about home-schooling curriculum.

Pretty much. God is telling you to get a mirena or something.

Why don't they donate the money they spend on this to a person who is flat out infertile (I.e. No kids) & can't afford fertility treatments?

The most telling part of the clip is the doctor statement, "Jim Bob called me the other day and said would you mind giving us a little talk....". Let's see a show of hands - whose husband/significant other calls their gyno directly to arrange an appointment?

"brothers" and sisters? Dad? Men and boys don't raised kids in Quiverfull world, that's crazy talk. The preteen and teenage girls will be raising the under-10s.

Yes, but their wealth has no "self-support" involved. They don't pay for their health insurance (a huge boon with a family that size, literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and a benefit of his single term as an Arkansas state legislator that he makes no attempt to hide is the only reason he ran for…

They are part of the Quiverfull movement, as far as I know. And in this case, making babies means making soldiers for the end war. And in war, all is fair. Except birth control or decent hair cuts.

Because they're hypocrites, that's why.

Their kids are getting an extremely sub par education. One of the older sisters has been in charge of homeschooling the younger ones for a long time. None of the older kids have attended college. Their oldest son worked for the family until he got his current job through cronyism/fame.

don't be silly, girls can't play hockey!

Their lack of gratitude is very un-Christian like. They have 19 children and however many grandchildren. There are people who don't have that. Ingrates.

just to be ready to catch a baby if God saw fit to give us one

They're lucky they have the privilege of having as many kids as they want. Not everyone can just "leave it up to God" when it comes to their reproductive decisions.

I'm confused about the whole "up to God" thing, then. If you are taking medical measures to optimize or increase your fertility, how is that at all different from taking birth control, in terms of meddling with "God's plan?" You're taking measures into your own hands for both. It's the exact opposite of birth control,…

I'm monogamous and feel absolutely nothing resembling stifling boredom and insecurity.

His issue wasn't with monogamy. His issue was with the fact that he was dating a "big girl" and felt he should have some "hotties" and playing around on the internet supported his delusion that he could do better. He thought fattie would be at home alone while he hooked up with models. Do you seriously think he'd have…

Silly me. I forgot that fat girls are supposed to be crying into their fat rolls while lying about being sexed up by hot tattooed muscle boys. I mean, in no ways could fat girl be charming, sexy, funny, intelligent, beautiful, witty, or all of the above.

because sad fat women just like to lie about getting laid, obvs
