202. People have a right to criticize anything they think is wrong.

Nobody here as far as I know is using their fame to stop her from doing anything.

Michelle and Jim Bob Rally for Tennessee Abortion Rally

Brimstone Services

October 8, 2013

Nashville, Tenn. - October 8, 2013 - Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar of the popular TLC program "19 Kids and Counting" are taking a stand against Tennessee's abortion policy, publicly campaigning for the Tennessee Abortion Amendment, also known as Amendment 1, which will be voted on during the November 2014 general election. Their first stop will be the "Heartbeats for Life" event on Monday, Nov. 4, exactly one year before the vote, at Cornerstone Church in Madison, Tenn.

A Tennessee Supreme Court ruling in 2000 interpreted the state constitution to include greater protections for abortion than the United States Constitution. The proposed amendment would allow lawmakers to require a waiting period prior to an abortion, place greater restrictions on later-term abortions and draft rules on what doctors are required to tell women prior to an abortion.

The Duggars, known for their pro-life stance, support the amendment and will be keynote speakers at the "Heartbeats for Life" fundraiser sponsored by Heartbeat Haven pregnancy center on Nov. 4. Michelle Duggar comments, "We are so excited to be coming to help kick off the push to get Amendment 1 passed. Since the extremely liberal state Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that the state of Tennessee cannot put any regulations on abortion, Tennessee has become an abortion procedure destination."



I don’t think it’s anyone’s business to tell parents who have suffered a miscarriage how to behave. People express grief in all sorts of ways, even ways you might consider distasteful. That said, a video message to miscarried baby Jubilee Shalom Duggar strikes me as pro-life messaging first and foremost. “So often in society, babies are looks on as a problem, trial or responsibility,” mama Michelle Duggar reads, “but God says babies are a blessing. We do not believe that babies are a bother or a headache, a financial drainer or a career interrupter.” What a lovely way to honor Jubiliee: by guilt-tripping other women who have terminated unwanted pregnancies!

The video’s image alone is of extremely tiny baby fingers touching an adult hand, which is one of the most commonly used images of pro-lifers. Even though the majority of abortions occur during the first trimester, when the fetus mostly a combination of cells, emotion-exploiting pro-lifers will use pictures of premature babies with fully-formed hands and feet to try to scare people into thinking they’re killing a tiny person.

Like I said, grieve however you want. But don’t try to pretend this “video message to Jubilee” is actually a video message to Jubiliee, as opposed to what it really is: pro-life propaganda exploiting the family’s miscarriage. (Also: if you or someone you love has experienced a miscarriage, it’s probably not a good idea to listen to this video which, at certain points, is actually quite sweet and touching.)

In a Room Crowded With Duggars, Ohio Republicans Pledge to Reintroduce Heartbeat Ban

Calling it “round two in the state of Ohio,” state Rep. Christina Hagan (R-Alliance) led a Thursday afternoon press conference to announce that the state’s notorious heartbeat bill will be reintroduced in the house. If passed, the bill would make abortion illegal at as early as four weeks past conception (six weeks after the patient’s last menstrual period), before many people are aware they are pregnant.

“We are ready to start the fire again, and we are ready to go to battle for what we believe is most important in this world, and that is life,” said Hagan at the press conference, which was filled with reporters as well as members of the Duggar family, reality television stars who have become some of the new faces of the evangelical anti-choice movement.

Speaking in favor of the ban was Michelle Duggar, matriarch of the 19 Kids and Counting family. With 17 of her 19 children in tow, Duggar spoke against the “baby holocaust” occurring in the United States, a talking point she also used at a Texas press event roughly a month ago: “There is a baby holocaust taking place, where doctors and nurses are paid to take the lives of innocent, unborn children. … If we do not speak up and do something to stop this holocaust, the blood of these little ones will be on our hands.”
