As a Christian Obstetrician, I'm often asked by new parents why God chose to give them a child with severe abnormalities. Whether it's spina bifida, Down's Syndrome, or like the Portway's gender bent little blessing, hypertrichosis universalis and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, these new parents are filled with questions.
Well, I always tell them the same thing. If it wasn't for Eve's transgression, there wouldn't be any birth defects at all. Women must bear the weight of Eve's foolish choice to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. All women are sinful creatures and their children bear the scars of this.
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psalm 51:5
