Letter
to the Editor,
A
fact is a fact
No
matter who says it; no matter how long they say it.
They
can scream; shout at the top of their lungs.
They
can throw toddler-like temper-tantrums, hold their breaths until they faint; so
we’ll give in to their bullying threats and say what they want us to say.
They
can give it their stamp of approval on all the decrees, declarations they so
desire.
But
the fact is; the fact will always be; a baby’s a baby before he or she is even
born; the whole human race is divided into two sexes, each one distinctively
different: male and female. Both totally and completely equal in dignity and
respect but created distinct for the purpose of the procreative aspect of the
marital unity.
No
matter how much they say it isn’t so; how much they don’t want to believe it,
it doesn’t make it so, because the fact is staring them right in their face. We’re
all alive in our mother’s womb; we’re all formed to live our life as male or
female.
There’s
a baby in his or her mother’s womb; that baby is either a boy or a girl. It’s
as simple as that. Everyone instinctually and intrinsically knows those are the
facts-of-life, even a toddler recognizes it. Ask a toddler, “What’s in mommy’s
tummy?” The reply will always be, “A baby!”
Ask a
toddler, “What are you a boy or a girl?” The toddler will look at you curiously.
Of course, he knows he’s a boy; she knows she’s a girl. There’s no doubt in a
toddler’s mind. Out of the mouth of babes come the innocent and honest answers.
To
all the women who refute it, “That’s just the facts ma’am”; to all the men who
reject it, “That’s a fact Jack!”
Throughout
human history it was so, it continues to be so, it will forever be so.
A
fact is not a falsehood, not a fabrication of the imagination or a fictitious
invention.
Vive la vie! Vive la différence!
