My daughters, my son,
I can teach you to be ambitious, educated and strive for more, so that you can provide for your future families.
I will not do it though.
I would much rather teach you how to get by on less; how to go without; how to be happy with basic necessities of life. Possessions can be lost and there is no such thing as true financial security in this world.
This is not an excuse to be lazy; this is a treatise against worldly success and ambitions.
You were created to labour, but also to enjoy some leisure and above all, to love. Do not therefore lose yourselves in a false idea that you must always be productive. You don't but you do have to love and pray always.
Families can live in small houses, and even with other family members. Your future children don't necessarily need seperate bedrooms – look how you share rooms and fill them with endless laughter!
You don't need many clothing items, a huge pile of shoes, latest gadgets and everything else the world is desperate to sell you.
Don't hate work, my children, but do it for the love of God and to provide for what is needed. Give away freely if you have more. Your security is in God, do you think He will ever abandon you or allow you to starve?
My son, be a good, hard-working man who knows when to take a break. Do not forget that God is ultimately the one who provides. Lean on Him with your whole heart.
My daughters, stay home with your children as long as you can. Work if you're facing abject poverty, just like your poor great-grandmothers worked in the fields or knitted clothes to sell them, but try to work from home. Always be with your children and teach them what I taught you: how to live on little but love a lot.
We need to earn our bread, but we don't need to earn 10 loaves to waste them.
Be a good Catholic and God will give you whatever you need.
Isn't it fitting that on the Feast of Corpus Christi the evil of abortion is put on display for all to finally get off the fence?
There are no exceptions.
No special cases that allow for murder.
No leniency and sympathy for those who butcher and dismember their children.
The decision to abort is not a difficult decision, it's an evil one. You're not a poor tortured parent if you abort, you are a monster who should be given life in prison or the death penalty. The sicker the baby you kill, the harsher your punishment should be.
The world without Christ is the world in which people dismember their sick children, monetize their monstrosity and then pretend that it was a horribly difficult decision they had to make.
Come Lord Jesus, Maranatha 🙏
@CooperChurch427@SouthernKeeks No. She is cruel. She murdered her child. I've never killed anyone. And you know I'm telling the truth, you're just too invested because it's your friend.
"This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision of murdering our own innocent child.
The choice was not made lightly but we still proceeded to butcher our baby. We appreciate the support of all other baby murderers out there.
Here is some statistics that we hope can make us look more sympathetic *proceeds to list problems that Down Syndrome babies might encounter*
My wife is on the mend, thankfully. The butchering only killed the baby, as we intended.
We are devastated because we thought that you can just kill your child and feel free. Turns out we need other baby killers to convince us that we did the right thing, which is why I'm writing this novel.
Thank you all so much for thinking that people with Down Syndrome deserve to be dismembered, even if they are your own children. We need your voices to numb our conscience further."
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️
@CooperChurch427@SouthernKeeks We don't get to strangle people if they're suffocating. Nor kill them prior to suffocating. Same with little babies. Additionally, there are medical solutions to keep the dying comfortable, much more comfortable than being dismembered.
@Ruesavatar Do you not realize what you're openly claiming about yourself right now? In front of million strangers? Have a shred of decency and delete this.
