I noticed that on the first couple of specials as well. The dad definetely has control issues. I don't know that it shortens a womans lifespan it does however cut down on the amount of money paid for tampons and maxi-pads.

NJ... they're just a family trying to survive on their own. I don't attach any sort of political or religious implications on to their topic... because thats just analyzing them WAY too deeply. Sheesh. Regardless of their reasons, they deemed it the right choice to have that many children and raise them in their own way. The family should be admired... as the human race was meant to go out and multiply in fruition (as was any living creature).
The dad probably has control issues because he's raising so many children. I'm sorry... but until we all give birth to and raise that many children... we have NO room to judge that man.
The children, I'm sure... will get good, real world experience once they grow up and are sent out into the world.
I, for one, admire the family.
