Jim and his wife Michelle Duggar were placed under fire as another family hypocrisy is revealed. Jim Duggar and the rest of the "19 Kids and Counting" stars have been actively advocating that they are pro-life, and even mentioned that they are against birth controls. Jim Duggar was then slammed for his hypocrisy after admitting that he and his wife, Michelle Duggar used birth control after they married.
Jim and Michelle Duggar have always been keen about their faith. The family openly stick to their Christian values and even condemn non-Christian ways, including abortion, infidelity, and even birth control.
Jim Duggar may have made sure that he kept his image clean, but her recent revelation disgusted critics as he was shunned for hypocrisy. The family once attend the Pro-Life march earlier this year which gathered negative backlash after Jessica compared abortion to the Holocaust last September after visiting the museum, Daily Mail reports.
"Believe it or not, when we first got married we decided we did not want to have children right away, so Michelle began taking birth control pills, Josh Duggar wrote on his blog as per The Hollywood Gossip. "Three years into our marriage Michelle went off the pill and we had our first child. We talked to a Christian doctor and he explained that the pill could be abortive. However, after one miscarriage, we decided to stop rejecting 'god's gifts.'"
It is still unclear as to whether birth control pills are considered as abortive or not, but most Christians (especially the Fundis) are highly against it. The Duggar family are quite proud of their fundamentalist beliefs which usually caused them to earn backlash from fans.
Earlier this year, Jim and Michelle Duggar was placed on the headlines as their shaky marriage was questioned. Parent Herald then added that their crumbling relationship was caused by their son, Josh Duggar who got caught up in several scandals.
