What is scientology's stance on the childfree? Are they ok with people choosing not to have kids?

Or, like most other religions, insist that all good little women must have children, therefore, fullfilling their destinys as women on earth?What is scientology's stance on the childfree? Are they ok with people choosing not to have kids?
Just a side note. I am a Buddhist (and I am not a monk). Buddhism neither encourages nor discourages procreation.





I have heard the Church of Scientology feels pretty much the same on this subject.What is scientology's stance on the childfree? Are they ok with people choosing not to have kids?
Im pretty sure they are big on choice. Both partners. From what I saw when I was going to their center, if either partner tried to push a stereotype on the other then they would tend to jump on that as subversion. Thats what they are all about. They are really against one person acting to subvert the goals of another.
Xenu!

Most religions encourage their own women to have lots of children, as it's a way of making lots of little people who will probably follow in Mom's theological footsteps. Scientology's no exception. In his book 'Dianetics' Hubbard says a pregnancy is something to be celebrated whatever the social circumstances.
God said go forth and multiply and fill the earth. I think that has been done already. Dont worry about it.
The Church of Scientology would prefer their followers to NOT have children. Children cost money and time... both items the ';Church'; wants for itself. The less money you spend on children, the more money you can donate to them. The less time you have to spend on kids, the more time you have to produce and get more income so you can give that, too, to the ';Church';.





In fact, if you are a member of their elite staff, call the Sea Organization, and you get pregnant --- you either have to have an abortion or you'll be thrown out of the ';Church';.
