I judge the Duggars a lot
I do judge the Duggas a lot. I did not see a problem with them having a memorial servce for the baby they lost. I suppose people don't have to look, but I gt judgemental that they distributed pictures of the lost baby at the service. Maybe I am heartless but.... YUCK!
The Duggars Distributed Photos of Their Miscarried Baby at Memorial
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar distributed photographs of their unborn child's fetus at a memorial service held for the child on Thursday, according to TMZ.

The memorial was held at a church in Arkansas, and the photos contained messages such as, "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world."
Jubilee Shalom Duggar would have been the 19 Kids and Counting stars' 20th child. Michelle, who was due in April, suffered a miscarriage last week.

We'll warn you these photos may be disturbing, but if you're still curious, go to TMZ.

Yes. She miscarried their first child while on birth control and they decided after that to get rid of the bcp and let whatever happened happened. These two did not start out quite as zealous about God and religion as they are now.
Eh, I feel like you're allowed to remember your child however you want at her memorial. It's not like they rented out giant billboards and pasted photos of the baby on it. They gave out photos to the people at the memorial service, which I would assume was a family affair.
I'm 100% pro-choice. As long as you're not picketing or killing doctors at abortion clinics, you believe what you believe. And I don't know if it was necessarily a pro-life message... it was more of the fact that they wanted to prove that even though their child didn't survive, she still changed their lives and mattered. I get that.

The photos of their baby were leaked to the press by someone at the company that did the photography. I have read several sources that said their original intent was not to distribute the pictures, but since they were leaked to the press they decided to at least have some control over the situation. I can understand somewhat their decision here. Their baby is dead and their privacy was violated by people that should've been professionals. I personally think people should lay off of them for a while and just let them grieve.
That's just my 2 cents worth.
What's the difference between this and distributing a program at a memorial service? In my experience, it's not uncommon to have pictures of the deceased in those.
I wouldn't have handled this the way they have, but I don't see anything wrong in letting them grieve in whatever manner works best for them.
