Assumptions about Katie and Travis

Katie and Travis Clark just released a YouTube video where they discuss assumptions that fans have about them (link below). Did they get pregnant earlier than they wanted to? How many kids do they want? Do they use birth control?

    2. Exactly. They should just ignore the nosey questions and get on with their lives.

    1. It’s more refreshing to me to not know this very personal information about them.

    2. I think it would be more refreshing to not know that kind of personal information about other people.

    3. What's wrong with not using it?

    4. I was actually disappointed to hear they use artificial birth control. I believe that it is harmful (sinful, in fact). Not that all married couples MUST have 20+ kids. Natural Family Planning is a healthy, moral method of spacing children when needed.

    5. Practically the whole world uses birth control. In my opinion it was refreshing to see the Bates family not use it.

    6. @4:28 Sinful to use birth control? What religion would say that? What about women who could die in childbirth, yet purposely don't use birth control and get pregnant against doctor's orders? Wouldn't they be sinning by willfully doing something that could cause their own demise?

    7. Because if shows they made their OWN decisions

    8. @4:28 I assume you also oppose any forms of medical intervention or medication that doesn't fall under your "natural" umbrella, including that which prevents miscarriage or treatments for cancer.

    9. @4:28 If you believe that artificial birth control is sinful, then don't you use it (emphasis on "you.") But please don't impose your personal standards on the rest of the world, or judge others negatively for being different than you, or be "disappointed" in them. Taking care of a woman's health is not sinful or immoral. In fact, quite the opposite, because God expects us to take care of our bodies/our temples. "Artificial" birth control has helped women who should not bear children due to health issues, and is not used only for pregnancy prevention. There is a long list of medical conditions for which hormonal "birth control" is prescribed. NFP doesn't work for everyone, either. One glitch and you're expecting again, whether you wanted to be or not. I worry about the mental health of the women who are in the "not" category, and fear for the safety of the unwanted children later.

    10. Where did you hear that info about it being sinful 4:28? What MAN who wants to control women's bodies and keep them pregnant and subservient (out of fear) told you that and made you believe it?

  4. Do Mr. & Mrs. Bates believe in using artificial birth control?

  5. Hi Lily and Ellie,any chance you will post about Kelly Jo's mom passing away last week? She passed away last Tuesday (November 8) from contracting RSV and because she has not been well since she had COVID-19 over a year ago,she succumbed to the virus.😭

  6. Just watched Alyssa and Katie on you tube asking and answering personal questions about childbirth and life, marriage etc. In my opinion it was inappropriate. I won’t be watching either of their you tube segments any more. I’m so disappointed in how far these two have lowered their standards as to what is appropriate for publication. I know many will probably disagree.

    1. I agree. I con't imagine why anyone feels the need to answer questions from nosey strangers. Are they doing it for money?
