Fulfilling the commandment to be fruitful and multiply.

Because Christ was born of a woman. Salvation for all came through child bearing.

“Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.” (I Timothy 2:11-15)

I don’t know of any legitimate bible scholars of Greek that think St. Paul was saying there a woman is saved because she has kids.

Paul talks a lot throughout the New Testament about how people are justified, or “saved” and never distinguishes between men and women—all come to God through Jesus. The Church has always taught that too, men and women are both saved the same way...so to try to pretend there’s confusion on something where there is none, is just not helpful.

The verse is assuring Christians that in THE most dangerous life-event for a woman in the ancient (and up into the 1800s) world, child-birth, she will be protected, that’s all.

If you meant that remark to mock the bible so as to dismiss what it says about male authority in the Church, you’re only mocking and dismissing yourself.
