The 19 Kids and Counting kids are not ones that usually mean to stir up controversy, but it seems that their strict Christian ways always tend to rub people the wrong way. The TLC reality family might be extremely religious, but son Josh Duggar's wife Anna caused quite the issue when she retweeted a message from anti-abortion non-profit, Radiance Foundation that drew comparisons between abortion and Black History month.

According to Radar Online, the wife of Josh and star of the TLC series got the social media world buzzing when she posted a tweet that many found to be racially insensitive.

The poster that Anna reposted was from the conservative organization Radiance Foundation and read, "Because of the violence of abortion over 16 million black people are history." The organization followed the poster up with the tweet, "Human beings should be remembered not dismembered. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter."

Anna was clearly moved by the message of the non-profit group as she retweeted their message. However, it doesn't look like her fans were too happy with her decision.

One user wrote, "Duggars are disgusting people. They say [they're] helping people. They are actually hurting them. TLC didn't take them of the air."

Another one stated, "You need to get off your little high horse of self righteousness that you believe you have and shut up," adding in a separate tweet, "You have no idea of the struggles and heartache of being African American. You are one of the most ignorant people to have ever walked this earth how dare you post that disgusting quote!"

The star has yet to respond to the controversy.
