Eine Gruppe von Christen, die meinen, sie müssten die Welt mit ihren Kindern besiedeln, damit sie christlich wird...

Hier die Quelle, die ich zuerst dazu gelesen hatte, auf englisch:
http://www.alternet.org/story/44254/
Im deutsch-sprachigen Teil des I-Nets hab ich auf die schnelle nichts gefunden...
Ein kurzer Ausschnitt, der mich besonders provoziert hat:
"Our bodies are meant to be a living sacrifice," write the Hesses. Or, as Mary Pride, in another of the movement's founding texts, The Way Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality, puts it, "My body is not my own." This rebuttal of the feminist health text Our Bodies, Ourselves is deliberate. Quiverfull women are more than mothers. They're domestic warriors in the battle against what they see as forty years of destruction wrought by women's liberation: contraception, women's careers, abortion, divorce, homosexuality and child abuse, in that order.
Beunruhigend fand ich sonst auch:
After arguing Scripture, the Hesses point to a number of more worldly effects that a Christian embrace of Quiverfull could bring. "When at the height of the Reagan Revolution," they write, "the conservative faction in Washington was enforced [sic] with squads of new conservative congressmen, legislators often found themselves handcuffed by lack of like-minded staff. There simply weren't enough conservatives trained to serve in Washington in the lower and middle capacities." But if just 8 million American Christian couples began supplying more "arrows for the war" by having six children or more, they propose, the Christian-right ranks could rise to 550 million within a century ("assuming Christ does not return before then"). They like to ponder the spiritual victory that such numbers could bring: both houses of Congress and the majority of state governor's mansions filled by Christians; universities that embrace creationism; sinful cities reclaimed for the faithful; and the swift blows dealt to companies that offend Christian sensibilities.
Das christliche Ego musste sich ja irgendwann mal wieder melden. Willkommen im Mittelalter.
Irratio.
