Quiverfull (2011)
“The Natural Family Chapter Fifteen. The Natural Family The fact that, in 2008, the Hesses’ predictions about the growing power in numbers of the Christian right read less like Left Behind fantasies than a slight exaggeration of the past few years’ religious news is testament to what’s changed since they published their book twenty years ago. Quiverfull is not yet a large movement. The number of families who have committed themselves wholly to the Quiverfull path doesn’t represent any pollster’s... idea of a key demographic. But the movement is nonetheless significant for representing an ideal family structure that many conservatives reference as a counterexample when they condemn modern society. Not every family has to be “Quiverfull” in the sense of having eight children for the movement to make an impact. Mothers who have four kids instead of three can also reinforce the Quiverfull goal of a return to the traditional, patriarchal family as the basic economic unit of society.MoreLess
