Question:
Can
you elaborate on the experiences you've heard from survivors of the
QF cult? The lack of healthcare, emotional and physical abuse, risks
of so many pregnancies and births, girls being robbed of their own
childhoods, shame surrounding bodies and sex et cetera. It would be
great to flesh those as a little so the readers can really understand
the terrible impact of these on the women that you've helped.

1.
Good overview article by Kathryn Joyce at salon.com featuring an
overview
2.
Vyckie’s blog post detailing the preference of QF/P for home
birthing and vaginal delivery as something of a holy sacrifice of
worship, despite risk to mother and baby
Carri
Chmielewski
Excellent article which details the postnatal death of a devout follower of the
Quiverfull Movement written by Kathryn Joyce

Her
extended story appears
at NLQ, but I will summarize it for you because of its length,
and because her cultic group also gave the QF movement the likes of
Geoffrey Botkin whose daughters are staggeringly popular. (Her
saga will continue in the next post.)
