Psalm 127 gives us "Happy is the man that hath a quiver full of them (children)..."
This psalm is the core of the Quiver Full movement amongst the wacker groups of Christians that feel they need to produce as many children as possible for the LORD. The well being of the mothers and children don't seem to be an issue. It has been called anti-feminist and critics have accused the movement of subjugating women and scoffing at the idea of equal rights.
One of the scarier things I've read brings in a militaristic aspect (from a Newsweek article);
"As Quiverfull author Rachel Scott writes in her 2004 movement book, "Birthing God's Mighty Warriors," "Children are our ammunition in the spiritual realm to whip the enemy! These special arrows were handcrafted by the warrior himself and were carefully fashioned to achieve the purpose of annihilating the enemy."
The only problem with this movement, as I see it, is that I, and a large percentage of Atheists were raised in religious households. Just because the parent is a devout Christian doesn't guarantee that their children will be ammunition in the spiritual realm to whip the enemy. They will BE the enemy!
133:3 is an odd little passage.
