One article I read says she's been pregnant for a total of 10 1/2 years. 
H-E-L-L NO.

If they want a gazillion kids, more power to them. What burns me up is that when families are very large, they have to depend on the help of OTHER PEOPLE to support them - charities, state/fed, neighbors, friends, other family.  If you cannot support your children that you voluntarily brought into this world on your income, then you shouldn't be having them. Of course, if circumstances change (disability, spouse loss, natural disaster, accident, etc.) then its different because noone can see the future. Birth control and abstinence really do work

Even thought I think that in this day and age it's not economically right to have nmore than 2 or maybe 3, but I will give Jim Bob and Michelle their props on this one because Jim Bob does work and is able to afford his heard without the aid or assistance from the state...reason they starting buidling their new house themselves...cut down on expenses. thta i take my hat off to them, but I'm sorry that is still way to many kids and I don't care if they can afford them.

The only way to support that many kids on a single salary is to be Warren Buffet, Donald Trump or Bill Gates...and he is none of the above.

Hey maybe the older kids have jobs. One of my employees has 6 birth children and 10 adopted children. He and his wife both work for a nonprofits, but they manage, because the older kids kick in.
While they don't live lavishly, they live happily. Who are we to judge?

I used to want a dozen kids because I grew up so lonely (my sister and I didn't grow up together). My kids would always have at least 3 or 4 playmates somewhere in the house. Now, I think 3 is plenty. I can't imagine feeding, clothing, and having college funds for all those babies. I'd love them all, but being able to give them all equal attention would be so hard. I keep thinking of Cheaper By the Dozen--somebody's bound to feel ignored. That's true for most families that have more than one child, but with 17? There's a good chance she's got at least 5 kids with "Woe is me" syndrome.
