In Quiverfull Movement, Birth Control Is Shunned
by Barbara Bradley Hagerty
...Among some conservative Christians, a movement is giving new meaning to the biblical mandate to "be fruitful and multiply."The movement, called Quiverfull, is based on Psalm 127, which says, "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
..."The womb is such a powerful weapon; it's a weapon against the enemy,"..."We look across the Islamic world and we see that they are outnumbering us in their family size, and they are in many places and many countries taking over those nations, without a jihad, just by multiplication,"... another Quiverfull family drops by...entertain themselves as would a large family 100 years ago.They sing Psalm 127 — a song that seems written just for them.
****They are not on welfare; they raise and educate their children independently with shared values.Their values are closer than those of the Islamic world which, with polygamy and less voluntary participation by women, is becoming demographically dominant.*****
