Reproductive Liberty: I don’t believe that humans have the right to flood the Earth with human overpopulation.
One should instantly recognize the danger of the “Quiverfull” Movement, exemplified by the Family Duggar. And the Family Turpin. Both examples of human depravity enabled by the heavy hand of Patriarchy.
Heedless and irresponsible, beginning with the sexist bible verse responsible for the movement, Psalm 127:5:
Happy is the MAN that hath his quiver full of them. . . (children).
What about the woman? Or the women involved when men had multiple wives?
What about the physical toll or the potentially death-risking toll of pregnancy on a woman’s body? Why doesn’t the sexist bible mention that aspect of the “quiverfull”?
These heedless, irresponsible men subjecting their wives to endless, health-depleting pregnancies, also heedless of the enormous demands of parenthood: love, attention, caring, nurturing, teaching values.
Untended, untaught, Josh Duggar did not know it was wrong to sexually molest his sisters and other vulnerable girls.
And the family horrors of David and Louise Turpin.
Unspeakable!
