Birds and the bees

Firstly, let me emphatically state that the parents, siblings and others associated with the little darlings listed are truly devout in their love, care and respect for those afflicted.
I reserve my vitriol for those mealy-mouthed men of the cloth, including the Jewish Rabbi on the Dr Phil show recently, who claimed that all babies are “A gift from God”. Wait a minute: those born with Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, co-joined, hair lip, Down Syndrome, loss of limbs, profoundly deaf and totally blind, plus other debilitating afflictions. So now we know, they are “A gift from God”.
Silly old me… I always believed it took a male sperm to unite with a female egg.
Oh, well, live and learn.

Erin Johns,
Warwick
