I often wonder how I bootstrapped $600 into $35M+ selling online over the last 15 years.....

How did I do it with 0 business background?!

Wrong question!

The real question is.....how many times did I almost quit? And why didn't I?

Here's the actual story. 🧵

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

Perfect example of the death cult mindset rationalizing their decision to kill their own child.

Over what could have been a false flag genetic test…..those tests can be wrong.

I can’t imagine living with the burden of knowing I intentionally chose to kill my own baby.

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

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. ❤️

@KJovian @McJuggerNuggets People said harsh things and you critique their words. Meanwhile…..they did the harshest thing you can do to another human being.

Their killed their child. For what could have been a false flag genetic test. Their baby was ripped apart in its mother’s womb. That’s harsh.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@appsssss @mtracey You already judged though…..you formed a neutral opinion. That’s your judgment.

Sitting on the fence in an attempt to take the high ground whilst misunderstanding what judgment actually means.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@mtracey Children are often wiser than adults.

That’s a compliment.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@mtracey Rather be a zealot for life than the death cult.

It’s entirely possible the test was a false flag. They killed their son for nothing.

Misery awaits them.

@Skadiskis @sugabelly @abbythelibb_ If I could become Batman for any single issue it would be to take out all the pedos. And I’d break Batman’s one rule.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

“Don’t judge!”

You judged them in your post.
Undermining your own view…..

To judge just means to form an opinion, which everyone does all day everyday about everything.

Choosing not to clearly state one’s view is a neutral opinion for example.

It’s a judgment…..

[Trevor McKendrick @TrevMcKendrick]

Having a baby with a serious genetic condition can't be understood until you're there yourself

Whether you decide to terminate the pregnancy, have the kid and place for adoption, or have the kid and raise them – it's intensely personal & no one should be judged for which path they choose

My condolences to Jesse and his wife for finding themselves in an impossible situation, and wishing them best of luck in the future with their family

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@TrevMcKendrick What do you mean by judge?

It’s impossible not to judge……everyone forms opinions. And that’s all judgment is.

The rhetoric of “don’t judge” is self defeating and an impossible standard no one follows.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@Skadiskis @sugabelly @abbythelibb_ Well that’s not surprising considering all the pedos out there. Let’s castrate them all and hang them in public.

Anyone who would abuse a disabled child deserves extreme and severe punishment.

And…..none of that is a reason to kill the children.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

Why did super grok say yes that it’s negative eugenics? You’re being inconsistent lol.

“specifically aborting because of a Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis is negative eugenics by definition. selecting against a particular genetic trait to prevent people with it from being born. “

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@sugabelly Yes, wanting a healthy child is normal and loving.

But specifically aborting (intentionally killing an unborn human) because of a Down syndrome diagnosis is negative eugenics by definition.

selecting against a particular genetic trait to prevent people with it from being born.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@sugabelly @abbythelibb_ Uhhhh….

Downs people love life more than any other population group on the planet.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@MattWalshBlog https://t.co/dTyx7PywVA

Objectively the most satisfied and happy group on the planet.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@McJuggerNuggets https://t.co/dTyx7PywVA

Imagine killing your child in the only population group on the planet that self reports this high levels of satisfaction and happiness with life.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@NordicMasc @danishacarterr These are insane stats no other population group compares to this level of happiness and satisfaction

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@chooserich Both teams are good. Gonna be a fun series to watch. Knicks want it bad for NY and spurs are young and hungry for it.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@McJuggerNuggets What a great tragedy.

RIP little one.

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@CollinRugg I can’t imagine being upset about this. Having a kid with downs is a blessing. Lifetime of love

[Matthew Turner @MbtHawk]

@burackbobby_ He’s French lol
