My mom’s next door neighbor has Down Syndrome (I grew up next to her).
As is the case with many ppl with the condition, she’s a ray of sunshine.
Yes, she has health problems. No doubt that’s been tough on her and her parents at times, but they’re all joyful people.
This weekend is her 50th birthday.
Her parents took her to FL, and they’re having the entire family converge on Disney World as a massive surprise.
I can only imagine her excitement, and I can’t wait to hear about it.
I’m not saying this to make Jesse feel worse but rather to tell others not to give in to his fear.
Ppl with DS aren’t a “bad outcome.”
You can’t just “try again next time.”
Next time is a different person.
People with DS deserve to be born, and they deserve to be loved.
@McJuggerNuggets Your child deserved so much more.
Disabled children are just as valuable as able-bodied children.
Killing children because of a diagnosis isn’t just ableism.
It’s evil.
We just welcomed our 8th. She has Trisomy 21 and is doing fantastic. Just typical baby stuff.
Ignore all of the reasons this cuck gave for intentionally murdering his own child.
I can't believe we share a country with these degenerates.
To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.
Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.
If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.
My cousin was told by multiple doctors that her baby was 100% Down syndrome and they wanted her to kill her unborn baby. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl who is thriving. Friend of mine was told her baby was healthy all the way through, and upon birth they found their daughter had Down syndrome, but they love her and she is now a kind and active teenager in her school and community. I’ll pray for the child you deliberately and selflessly murdered. May God have mercy on your souls🙏��
I feel so bad for your child who you killed. He or she didn’t deserve death because they would have had a more challenging life than others. Death was not a cure.
To every person who is reading and has Downs, cystic fibrosis, or another potentially fatal genetic disability, I hope you know your life has just as much value as anyone else. Yes, your life will be physically harder but life is always worth living.
Most people will never be famous. Most people will never be rich. But if you find someone who still wants to hold your hand after decades together, you’ve probably won at life.
🚨🔌 DROP THE MONOPOLY:
It’s time for Michigan to END the monopoly laws protecting our corrupt utility companies.
DTE and Consumers Energy get the BEST of both worlds: guaranteed profits because they’re the ONLY option, while still acting like a greedy, unchecked corporation.
We ranked 51st out of 51 states including DC — DEAD LAST — in the country for average power restoration time. DEAD. LAST.
They BUY politicians on both sides with donations by the MILLIONS, and WE, The People, who are supposed to be protected by these rules, are the ones getting screwed.
Government-created monopolies always FAIL the people eventually.
For example, Ohio has a free market system and their rates are 20% LOWER than ours — with far BETTER service.
Time to allow real COMPETITION. Make DTE have to earn our business instead of collecting guaranteed money while we sit in the dark.
We’re being SOLD out in real time.
WAKE UP, Michigan!
