Reply #7: No doubt.

I have no doubt that, for at least some conservatives, this is a part of it. See http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041122/ap_on_re_us/protecting_marriage_6

Quoting the article

"If those initiatives are part of a broader effort to reaffirm lifetime fidelity in marriage, they're worthwhile," he said. "If they're isolated — if we don't address cohabitation and casual divorce and deliberate childlessness — then I think they're futile and will be brushed aside."

So, to hear this Bryce Christensen tell it, "deliberate childlessness" is some sort of pressing underlying issue in our society.

I guess it's nice to hear it from a horses mouth (mostly because sometimes parts of some conservative's agendas and belief systems seem too odd and extreme to be believed).
