Though the Duggars do describe themselves as conservative Christians, in reality, they follow a belief system that goes far beyond "Cheaper by the Dozen" high jinks. It is a pro-life-purist lifestyle known as Quiverfull, where women forgo all birth-control options, viewing contraception as a form of abortion and considering even natural family planning an attempt to control a realm—fertility—that should be entrusted to divine providence.

The lack of common sense in this belief is astonishing. Fertility may be viewed as 'divine providence' but what about the
decision to have sex? Are they thinking?
With that logic, I can go out and make the choice to drive drunk. Now I get in an accident and kill one or more people. Ah, well I can't control life and death. It was divine providence.
As
lies the
belief system.
