Men too should bear the blame and stigma that comes with infertility

Men account for between 40 to 50 per cent of all infertility cases and yet I have never seen church programmes for men praying for the fruits of their testicles.

Since the beginning of time, infertility has been made a purely female issue, certainly because women have always been able to have children with other men to cover the shame of their husbands. I have never seen a man going through fertility treatment or climbing mountains and crossing rivers to look for a cure for his infertility.
