WAR A subdued historical theme is the use of children as armies. It begins with breeding women to produce babies. That concept exists overtly in the Catholic Church's prohibitions against birth control and abortion.
Sex is for babies.
If the mothers won't raise the babies, snatch 'em and sell 'em to somebody who will. The Latter-Day Saints follow the same philosophy. Breeding women to get babies is too pervasive to deny. Once born, the defectives are separated from the good ones and in some societies killed. The healthy babies are then moulded into whatever the society wants.
