Maren Johnson while I semi-agree with the sentiment, I have to vehemently disagree with the man and the context in which it is offered. He was the head of a repressive and misogynistic church that used and still uses the "divine calling of motherhood" to repress and disempower women. I left that church 11 years ago and its treatment of women is one of the reasons I will never, ever let my children anywhere near it. Quotes like this are used to convince women that since God wants them to be mothers, social equality is not only pointless, it's actual *harmful*
