Quiverfull is a Christian theological position that sees large families as a blessing from God.[1][2][3] It encourages procreation, abstaining from all forms of birth control, natural family planning, and sterilization reversal.[4] The movement derives its name from Psalm 127:3–5, where many children are metaphorically referred to as the arrows in a full quiver.
Some sources have referred to the Quiverfull position as providentialism,[5] while other sources have simply referred to it as a manifestation of natalism.[6][7]
It is most widespread in the United States but it also has adherents in Canada,[8] Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere.[1] One 2006 estimate put the number of families which subscribe to this philosophy as ranging from "the thousands to the low tens of thousands".[4]
