You can call me trashy, but we refused to test for Downs. Why? Because if our sons had it, there is absolutely no planet where we would kill them. Why even know? I'd sooner jump into a volcano before killing my child. There is absolutely no circumstances I would ever abort.
You made a decision, you posted about the decision and now you're calling us trashy for telling it like it is?
You're the ones who have to answer to God about what you've done, our opinions won't matter.
"There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post."
My wife going through a miscarriage was an actual “loss”. It was the most difficult season of our lives. It was beyond devastating.
Being by my wife’s side as she went through that process was excruciating. It was horrific really. So many sleepless nights where you don’t know what to say, how to regulate emotion, and have no ability to cry more tears because there just aren’t any tears left to shed.
We didn’t choose to kill our child. We legitimately lost it by no fault or intervention of our own. God just decided to bring our twins home to heaven.
Forgive me if I have absolutely no sympathy for a couple that wants the world to feel bad for murdering their child with Down Syndrome as if they went through a miscarriage or a still birth.
My wife & I know what really loss is like. This is a slap in the face to the mothers & fathers that legitimately lost children.
“Grieving the LOSS”??
My God. You two didn’t suffer a miscarriage or a stillbirth like millions of couples do every year. You CHOSE to abort your baby. And then you CHOSE to announce it publicly. YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM. This is narcissism at its finest. 💔
In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:
“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."
Charlotte Helene Fien speaks before the United Nations
I chose to pay a physician to murder my unborn child in 1991 when I had an abortion.
I was a medical student at the time.
My being chose to ignore the physical and spiritual truth that physical and spiritual life begins at conception.
May God have mercy on my soul.
As Christian physician, I will spend the rest of my days advocating for the truth- abortion is murder and is NOT a medical procedure.
In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God.
Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.”
Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father.
When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk.
God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
You didn’t “lose” your baby. You killed your baby. The baby here is the victim. You are not the victim. You are the villain, because you deliberately killed a precious and innocent baby for the crime of not being perfect.
Imagine a post like this, but instead of referring to an unborn baby, he’s referring to his Down Syndrome toddler. Everyone would be aghast and enraged.
Yet the only differences between a toddler and an unborn baby are age and location. These aren’t reasons to kill someone outside the womb, so they don’t work as reasons to kill someone inside the womb, either.
No euphemisms or sympathetic language can mask the reality that killing a baby is brutal, painful, and evil.
People with special needs are no less valuable - and therefore no less deserving of life - than people without special needs.
Despite Jesse’s attempt to center this murder on his and his wife’s feelings, the truth is, in every abortion scenario, the primary - and typically only - victim is the baby. He or she deserves all of our sympathy and advocacy.
When I was 19 I got pregnant. I wasn’t married. I went for my first ob/gyn visit to confirm the pregnancy. Immediately after the positive urine test the nurse looked at me and said, “you’re not keeping it, are you?” I answered with a simple, “I am”. The idea that life is disposable if the circumstances aren’t ideal is so disgusting to me. With my second child I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia fairly early on and told it would be better to terminate that one and try again, I refused. It was finally with my pregnancy with my third child at 31 that no one suggested terminating my pregnancy. I have three healthy kids.
When my daughter was pregnant with her daughter she tested positive for the cystic fibrosis gene. We had to have the father tested, they sent someone in to discuss termination, calling the baby to a fingernail sized lump of cells and pointing out that my daughter was young and could have another. Once again, a medical professional going straight for termination, acting like a life was replaceable. Advocating for killing the child, as if she was nothing.
Something is very wrong with people’s hearts.
They killed their baby, Brittany.
This isn’t just a “disagreement”. They murdered their child. Then publicly announced it.
You should be responding to them, not to those righteously reacting in horror.
This is my little sister.
She was born on Christmas Day, the youngest of six children. She had Down syndrome. Doctors said she would never amount to much and suggested that she could be aborted or sent away to live in an institution so my parents wouldn't be burdened. My parents disregarded that advice.
She endured multiple open-heart surgeries before she was three years old. She came through that and grew into an amazing human being. She was an accomplished speaker, advocate, and actor. She has an IMDB profile. She graduated with honors from high school and attended college classes. She learned to drive, got married, and lived a full, independent life. She was an inspiration to tens of thousands of people who attended her speeches.
She was an incredible daughter, sister, aunt, and wife, and a dear friend to countless people. She passed away recently and left a huge hole in so many people's lives. As she once said, "People who have Down syndrome can change the world. Being smart is not always what makes people happy. Loving and being loved is what makes people happy." She was so happy, and she brought so much happiness to others because she loved (and was loved) unconditionally.
I wish you had met her. You might not have murdered your baby.
You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you’ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.
🚨BREAKING: The IOPC have determined the officers involved in the arrest of Henry Nowak DONE NOTHING WRONG 🇬🇧
They literally hate us - they can’t even admit it is wrong to HANDCUFF a DYING incapacitated boy on the floor.
There was a day when D was in the NICU that we thought we'd lose her. She'd had several spells overnight (moments when her heart rate or oxygen dropped significantly), and when I arrived, her nurse told me to 'keep her awake.'
Keep her awake.
I can't begin to put into words the anguish I felt in that one moment. I remember what I was wearing down to my shoes. I remember the bag I was carrying ... I remember her blanket that day.
Keep her awake.
I sat next to her Isolette, rubbing her back and reading to her through tears for many hours, scared to leave her side. At one point, the nurse came back and told me to take a break, so I went into the parent room and sobbed while calling my husband.
It was at that point in my life that I understood what it meant to kneel and pray. I prayed harder than I had ever prayed in my life. I made every bargain under the sun with God that day, even offered myself ... anything so that she could live.
Eventually, after many hours of crying, reading, praying, and more crying, the doctors figured out she was anemic; one small change to her meds and she was like a new preemie. They also put her back on CPAP to give her time to rest since she had struggled so much on the cannula.
The relief her dad and I felt in that moment ... there are really no words to describe that moment either.
Grateful doesn't begin to cover it.
Blessed.
Humbled.
I still cry thinking about that day, 20 years later.
Honestly, it's hard to explain to people who haven't watched very small babies (including their own) fight to live how important and valuable life truly is.
There is no greater gift than life. None.
And sorry, but there are no promises with any child; even 'normal' babies are a lot of work. Even 'normal' kids struggle ...
No guarantees, even if you think your baby is perfect.
Parenting is not about what you get from the child; it's about what the child gets from you. You are the reason they are here, so it's on you to do the best you can with what you have every day.
Perfect or not.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order that will functionally wall off the Canadian export economy from the United States.
Every Canadian company shipping to the US now must:
-Post much higher per shipment bonds
-Be CTPAT validated by US customs
-Disclose beneficial ownership & domestic assets
-Provide foreign tax IDs & detailed supply chain data
-Lose access to “informal entry” for low value shipments entirely
The reason?
Foreign importers can’t be trusted to comply with US law.
The trigger?
Canada’s documented failure to enforce its own forced labour ban.
80% of our exports go south.
The Prime Minster yesterday said “we expected this”
Canadians who export to the US sure as hell didn’t.

If you can find an example of a more evil thing on this platform than a man announcing his plan to murder his child for being disabled, go ahead and post it. I can’t think of one.
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
