@MattFinnFNC That cannot be true. At least the signatures are not consistently checked. I can't say why I might know why....

Your child’s life was worth protecting.

[Tom Sileo @TSileo]

Very proud of our 6-year-old daughter Natalie, who has Trisomy 21, a.k.a. Down Syndrome. Is it sometimes tough raising a child with special needs? Of course, but the world is a kinder, gentler & happier place because of people like Nat. We love her! #NATitude

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

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

I read that the baby aborted for having Down syndrome by the YouTuber and his wife yesterday was done so when she was half way through her pregnancy, so I am going to describe in graphic detail what aborting a second trimester baby looks like. Read on at your own discretion.

At 21 weeks the baby is a fully formed miniature human being roughly 10 to 11 inches long from crown to rump weighing about three quarters to one pound. His skin is thin and translucent but covered in fine lanugo hair. He has distinct fingerprints eyelids that can open and close and functioning senses. He can hear your voice and external sounds taste the amniotic fluid and respond to touch. His heart beats strongly. You could feel it if you pressed a hand to the mothers belly. Lungs are developing with practice breaths and he kicks stretches turns and sucks his thumb in the womb. Viability outside the womb is possible with intensive neonatal care in modern hospitals. Many 21 week preemies survive with medical intervention.

A typical 21 week abortion is performed via dilation and evacuation. The process begins by forcibly dilating the mothers cervix over hours or days using laminaria or medications which causes cramping and pain as the body is prepared to expel the child. Then under ultrasound guidance in many cases the abortionist inserts forceps through the birth canal into the uterus.

The baby often still alive and moving is grasped limb by limb. The abortionist twists and pulls tearing off arms and legs one at a time while the child recoils and struggles inside the womb. The smaller bones snap like twigs the joints dislocate with audible pops under the instruments. Blood and amniotic fluid mix as the torso is wrenched apart. The spine is crushed or snapped. Finally the skull is gripped collapsed with the forceps sometimes after being pierced and the brain suctioned out to make removal easier and the remains are extracted piece by piece. The abortionist then reassembles the body parts on a tray to ensure nothing hands feet torso fragments is left inside to cause infection. The mother’s uterus is scraped clean with a curette.

This is not a procedure on tissue. It is the deliberate piecemeal dismemberment of a baby who can feel pain. Fetal pain receptors and neural pathways are active by this stage who reacts defensively to the invasion and whose only crime is existing. The mother carrying this child in her body for nearly five months feeling his movements, knowing his sex, and seeing his ultrasounds chooses to have him torn apart inside her. And in this disgusting case of psychopathic narcissism “for his own good”. She schedules the appointment consents to the crushing and extraction, rests peacefully while her baby is tortured to death because he wasn’t perfect enough for her, and she walks away while the baby’s tiny mutilated body is discarded in a “medical waste” sink to be sent for incineration.

Many women later describe the visceral aftermath. The sudden cessation of kicks the hormonal crash the haunting knowledge that they authorized the destruction of their own baby’s body. It is an act of profound betrayal by the very person biologically wired to protect that life. If the image of a tiny writhing child being methodically ripped apart limb from limb by cold metal tools then sucked or scraped from its mother’s womb does not disgust you regarding the “woman’s choice”, then the propaganda worked on your weak, pathetic soul.

I've been hesitant to post about this one because it's deeply personal.

Popular YouTuber Jesse Ridgway, known as McJuggerNuggets, recently shared that he and his wife chose to end their pregnancy after their baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome.

He justified the decision in a lengthy post citing medical risks and the statistic that many babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted.

So a baby gets a death sentence for having an extra chromosome?

Ridgway wrote:

"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."

This hits close to home for me.

When my mom was pregnant with me, doctors raised abortion as an option because of complications with her pregnancy.

Thank God she believed I was a gift from God, not a choice for her to make.

That's why stories like this are so difficult for me.

Children with Down syndrome are not mistakes.

They are not burdens.

They are not less valuable than the rest of us.

They are human beings created in the image of God.

Their lives have value, dignity, and purpose. Just like you and me.

But there's another part of this story that I can't stop thinking about.

Less than a month ago, Jesse celebrated his dog Jenny after she survived a devastating diagnosis.

"ONE YEAR LATER. She is still fighting."

"We all need a hero in this life, Jenny has been one of mine!"

And honestly, I agree with him.

Life is worth fighting for.

The vulnerable are worth fighting for.

Those facing difficult diagnoses are worth fighting for.

That's exactly why this breaks my heart.

A dog diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease is celebrated for defying the odds and continuing to live.

A baby diagnosed with Down syndrome is not given that same chance.

I don't write this to shame Jesse or his wife. I genuinely pray for them. I can't imagine the pain, fear, and grief they have experienced.

But I grieve for a culture that increasingly sees disability as a reason to end a life rather than embrace it.

Every child deserves to be loved.

Every child deserves to be protected.

Every child deserves a chance.

God have mercy on us.

Please join me in praying for the Ridgway family and for a culture that values every human life, regardless of ability, diagnosis, or circumstance. ❤️🙏

Sparing no expense to save their dog, touring their $1.2 MM home, having a net worth of $11 MM. These people had the means to care for a child with Down syndrome, but they were more concerned with optics so they gave a tone deaf excuse for ending a life they deemed unsuitable for their manicured, materialistic, narcissistic existence.

[Tom Hockel @BowieTheus]

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.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

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.

Why would you do this unless you wanted to cheat. https://t.co/unymBF4EBV

[Quietly Loud🇺🇸 @Jane4UsGirls]

@FDRLST @seanmdav If they are accepting ballots for 5-7 days, technically the “polls” are not closed. Perhaps the counting shouldn’t start until the polls close. Would this curtail the “let’s see how many votes we need to win” mail in ballots?

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Florida processes more than 10 million votes in a matter of hours.

California takes days — or sometimes even weeks — to count the votes.

It’s pathetic — and it’s corrosive to our civic culture.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?

Let me show you…

There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.

I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.

No homes. No mailboxes. No businesses. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here.

Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom.

This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — and we must pass the Save Act NOW.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

@GavinNewsom Pay attention to CA… They are currently cheating in the elections.

Can someone explain to me, like I’m a Candace Owens viewer, how Marjorie Taylor Greene has been complaining all year about her adult children not being able to afford their health insurance premiums and her struggling to afford gas and groceries, but she’s been on three vacations to Costa Rica since January?

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

I’ve only worked for 3 companies at 3 radio stations in a 29-year run & had 6 great bosses, & only 2 real crappy ones (both of whom I far outlasted, I would humbly tell you), BUT I do know this:

1. If you tell your immediate superior he/she will never be welcomed by you or other staff…
AND,
2. You accuse that boss’s boss of “murdering” the flagship show of the department….

…THEN get a chance to come back the next day & own just a percentage of blame for a heated moment, & refuse!….

You should be fired & will be fired. Every single time. Without exception.
