"Natalists" sounds very derogatory. And I'm sure that's no coincidence.

Fact is, many Christians actually view children as blessings, not curses. Why would they reject God's blessings?

The non-believers, & the blue states will continue to butcher their children in-utereo, and eventually numbers will win out.

I can only hope and pray that having many children (or as many as God wills, be that none or 12) will once again regain "popularity" amongst Christians. The power to impact the world with a large family is enormous. Imagine the increase within a couple of generations.

Indeed.

I propose a better title:

Back To the Future: The Growing Movement of Normalcy.

Of course it is meant to be derogatory. Just like evangelical or Christian right, or fundamentalist. But remember, Christian was originally a derogatory term also.

I would rather be labeled a "natalist" than an abortionist.

I prefer the term 'Full-quiver christian'.

Psalms 127:3  Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5  Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
