"Nor do we suffer the profound physical, spiritual or emotional trauma of miscarriage or abortion."
Physical, I'll give Mr Lewis. However, to write, as he does, that men "suffer none of the profound...spiritual or emotional trauma of miscarriage or abortion" is one of the most stunningly ignorant and offensive things I've read in quite some time. Men don't suffer spiritual or emotional trauma when a pregnancy ends unhappily? Really? I guess when that happens, most men just shrug their shoulders and go back to the football game on TV, eh? It just doesn't bother them much at all if they've spent months eagerly awaiting the birth of a child, only to discover that child will never be born alive, is that it?
Mr Lewis isn't a wise granddad. He's a nasty, cold-hearted bastard. I hope someone drops a cinderblock on his foot.
