Jill And Jessa Duggar News 2014: Reality Stars Take Social Media Hiatus After Recent Backlash By Fans [VIDEO]
They might have been very excited about sharing details about their personal lives to the world for quite some time, but it looks as though 19 Kids & Counting stars Jill Duggar and her sister Jessa Duggar have taken a bit of a break from social media. The two women have not been active on their Instagram accounts for weeks now after Jessa caused a media outrage with her controversial remarks.

Jill, who is pregnant with her first child, has not updated her Instagram account since Sept. 27 while Jessa's last Facebook post was on Oct. 6. What's more, the Duggar Family Instagram account hasn't shared any new photos since September either, leading to the speculation that the family might be taking a break from social media after fans were outraged when Jessa compared abortions to the holocaust. Fans are also hinting that the family are being "censored" by TLC after the recent backlash they've received.
In the post, Jessa shared a photo taken during the Holocaust and captioned it with, "I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today... very sobering. Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights--their right to life. One human destroying the life of another deemed 'less than human.' Racism, stemming from the evolutionary idea that man came from something less than human; that some people groups are 'more evolved' and others 'less evolved.' A denying that our Creator--GOD--made us human from the beginning, all of ONE BLOOD and ONE RACE, descendants of Adam."

Many of her Instagram followers criticized Jessa for her rant by commenting with, "Please walk through the holocaust museum again because that is not at all what the holocaust was about. Have some respect for the children and grandchildren of survivors."
Another follower wrote, "The fact that she just compared the genocide of hundreds of thousands to terminating a pregnancy is actually disgusting."
This is not the first time Jessa has shared something rather controversial on her social networking account. She was also slammed for a recent atheism rant.
In the post, Jessa wrote, "Atheism - the belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs. Makes perfect sense."
She then added, "Psalms 14:1 - The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God."
