They've changed the name of their show. It used to be "17 Kids and Counting" and is now "18 Kids and Counting". I believe she birthed another one in January

Oh, she's absolutely going to keep going. She'll pass Baby #18 off on one of her other daughters and go right back to fucking (but not enjoying it---REAL Christian women don't enjoy sex unless they're dirty sluts) so she can get pregnant again. The only thing that's gonna stop her is menopause.

I've often wondered if she thought sex was a chore.

The only thing that's gonna stop her is menopause. And menopause typically starts between the age's of 45-50. She's only, what, 42 or 43? So I bet she'll slip in another one or two before she hits menopause. It's sad because like you said, she's already passed #18 off to the older daughters. Poor #19 (if she has it) is going to suffer the same fate.

It's probably using a broad brush of stereotypes to assume that she thinks of sex as a chore, but she may well think of it that way. After having eighteen kids, she probably has no traction anymore and I'm sure her husband doesn't much like it, either. The words "hot dog" and "hallway" come to mind....
EDIT @ mozmode:
It depends on the woman, and I can't find anything about how old Mrs Duggar is, but she might well have a few years of child-bearing left in her before the factory shuts down. Somebody should seriously go in and hang a "CONDEMNED" sign on her fucking uterus.

Anyone who thinks their job is to crank out as many infants as humanly possible seriously needs to examine the current estimated global population.
To me, it almost seems like the Duggars are bragging. There are TONS of families out there (both heterosexual and non) that are unable to bear children of their own and in some cases can't even adopt. Meanwhile, these people are constantly whelping puppies (and they can't even claim multiples via IVF, which is where most of the large families come from) and just foisting said puppies off on their other puppies while proudly flaunting their ability to bear young. I mean wtf.
I won't even go into what I think about home-schooling, child-rearing, and religious indoctrination. It's already been said enough on this thread.

In terms of efficiency, Nadya is winning. She has nearly the same number of kids as Michelle Duggar, but she did it in FAR fewer pregnancies. But in terms of actually providing for the kids, Michelle wins because she isn't PLEADING for handouts.
But as far as I'm concerns, they both fucking FAIL.

we have GOT to stop rewarding people (the Duggars, John and Kate, and the rest of their ilk) for breeding irresponsibly. I think that is unfair to Jon and Kate, they were just trying to get a third child and ended up with eight. Their brood isn't intentional like the Duggars. (Is a fanboy who saw Kate Gosselin talk in person)

Whenever I hear of cases like the Duggars, I always think about, among other things, how those kids are doing being trotted out to the general public like circus freaks. It's really sad and frankly quite infuriating that there are people, good people, who would love to have children but cannot for whatever reason, then you have the Duggars and similar people who seem not to give two fucks about their kids as far as them being people (oh, god forbid) as much as then being potential God Warriors/incubators for God Warriors. Makes me sick and sad for the sake of the kids. And I was raised on a rather tame version of that mess, too.
On the other hand, the few episodes I have seen are like a fifty-car pileup of WTF.

I was flicking around the tube a few weeks ago and I saw an episode where the whole family went to a public diamond mine for a day trip.
In true fundie fashion, the father proved he has no idea how science works. When he was asked about the contradiction of being a creationist and hunting for million year old diamonds, he said something to the effect of,
"Well. We believe in creation. But science just uses circular logic. I asked a friend of mine who is a scientist how they date dinosaur bones. He said they do it by dating the rocks. When I asked him how they date the rocks, he said they do it by dating the bones. You see? It's circular logic!"
At this point my IQ dropped 50 points and I fell down a flight of stairs.

I saw that episode! I nearly threw a shoe at the tv, I was so livid. Why do they give retards like this AIRTIME? Why do they pay this family big money just so they can spew their Fundie crap out to millions of viewers?? All Discovery Channel is doing is funding these morons to have more babies, do more homeschooling, and essentially pollute a half hour of airtime with their creationist/Fundie garbage!
