My grandmother had 15 children, from 1922-1947. 8 died before the age of 3.
When you look at the likelihood that half (or more) of your offspring will die, then I could understand the concept of going forth and multiplying.
Given the modern state of existence, I don't think breeding like that is wise or feasible. However, the Duggar's are entitled to their own beliefs, and as long as their children are loved, well cared for and educated, then they are doing a damn fine job of raising their brood.
