Yes, i know it's the "Gossip", but I've heard Jim Bob echo this same sentiment on their show.

They believe that overpopulation is a myth. *I* do not.

Certainly, I can understand that they would grieve the loss of the pregnancy, but IMHO, I think some of their public grief was to heighten ratings for the show. I know that I've never seen an episode of their show hyped MORE on TLC than this particular episode, so you just gotta ask...
