Quiverfull: Movements & History

Quiverfull is a Christian theological position that sees large families as a blessing from God. It encourages procreation through the abstention from all forms of birth control, and sterilization reversal. The movement took its name from Psalm 127:3–5, where many children are metaphorically referred to as the arrows in a full quiver.
