It makes me wonder about the prosecutor's personal beliefs.
And, Vyckie, you were great. I wish we could have seen the entire interview.

I really hope that this starts to bring more light to this cult movement.

The extremism progression is so disturbing.
Letting God plan your family --> Home Birth is God's plan and somehow more of a testimony than hospital birth --> Unassisted Home birth is even MORE spiritual, just you and your husband delivering at home..
Of course in this case there was midwife care but the midwifes answered the real concerns of the mom by continuing to steer her away from actual medical care.
I once told a friend of mine who was extremely unhealthy that if she really thought God wanted her to have as many babies as possible she needed to look on this as a job and take care of herself. Eat real food, lose weight, actually attend her ante-natal appointments instead not bothering, stop ignoring serious symptoms and eschewing all tests and medical care. I said to her that if you felt God wanted you to become a missionary in Africa in a situation that involved great physical duress and you had a year to prepare you would get in shape! Get healthy! Prepare yourself! Having a huge family because you think God called you to do so is no different. Really it's possible to have a lot of babies in a first world country and be well cared for. It's incredible that this extremist thinking leads people to into NO care.
And of course the men are no help at all, it's not like they are hiring home help for the moms or making their lives any easier.. with quiverful a man's job is his job, he goes there every day and comes home and it stays the same. A woman's job increases dramatically with each baby. Men do not seem to understand this at all.

I'm glad this made it to local tv. People see the Duggars and their huge home and tv income and think it's "normal." I'm afraid Carrie is closer to normal and people need to see it. I'm still sad about the whole thing, but glad it's getting some light shed on it. I don't expect anything to come of the investigation though.....
