A '9/11 Every Day': The Radical Anti-Contraception Ideology That Links The Duggars And The Anti-Choice Right
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Tuesday, 5/26/2015 11:43 am
The sex abuse scandal engulfing the Duggar family has put yet another unwanted spotlight on Quiverfull, the radical self-proclaimed Christian patriarchy movement of which the Duggars are the most prominent spokespeople. But what is too often missed in the fascination over Quiverfull beliefs and the lives of its reality-star adherents is how closely this radical anti-feminist ideology is tied to the policy priorities of the anti-choice Right and its increasingly vocal opposition to contraception access.

(95,337 posts)The scripture in question - 'Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them' - comes from Psalms which Old Testament so that was well before Jesus even existed. So to say that is somehow a 'Christian Values' is a load a crock - that is nothing more than pulling random bible scriptures from the old testament and making up your own religion especially when the same group pretty much ignores the stuff actually associated with the teachings of Jesus (ie - judge not lest ye be judge, love one another (and molesting one's sister does not count), helping those less fortunate).
The Quiverful movement is nothing more than a Cult where men want to treat women as brood mares who are barely given an education an expected to stay pregnant for the bulk of their life.

It's on the air because it's cheap to make and clearly someone wants that message to get out. They can call it anything they want but it is an abusive situation
