I like memes and games. This account used to explore religion and politics, hopefully respectfully. Hit me if I start monologuing. Engagements ≠ Endorsements.
@danramblesand@JoelWBerry He walked back the support when he realized they were doing it to farm ad revenue and clicks. I don’t think he walked back his general take on getting rid of the “useless eaters.” Unless you’re thinking of a clip I haven’t seen. I would love to be wrong.
My first child had a brain cyst detected in utero, and doctors told us there was an 80% chance she had Trisomy 18, with very little chance of survival. Abortion was never an option for my wife and me.
And here we are today, 23 years later. ❤️
@Ilerioluwakiye_ as a severely disabled person, i promise we can tell when “i value disabled people” is just the soft intro before saying you don’t

I'm just going to leave this right here.
Here's what individuals with Down Syndrome typically report:
- Almost 100% expressed that they were happy with their lives
- 97% liked who they were as individuals
- 99% expressed love for their families
- 86% felt they could make friends easily
Yes, about half have health issues, but the majority of heart issues are fixed during surgery and aids like hearing aids and glasses help them see and hear just fine.
But you know what matters more? We are all imperfect and differently abled. We all matter. We all hold incredible value. And we all deserve a chance at life and love, no matter what.
Abortion is the only option where we tell another person, you're better off dead. And that's not love.
Hurting from a past abortion? See https://t.co/hOKYeTe2dR.♥️
It wasn’t a loss in the sense that many of us have experienced loss.
You made a choice. You considered your child’s life expendable due to the possibility of hardship and inconvenience of your own.
But I digress.
I don’t know you or follow you, but Christ does. He knows you and sees you. The good and the bad. The hurt, shame and grief. All of it.
And yet
Romans 5:8 says that “ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
And even in this He himself bore on his body the marks of all our sin and anguish, and yes, yours, even in this very moment.
When you considered this childs life expendable for what it would cost you. Christ considered his own life expendable because of what it offered you.
2 Corinthians 5:21: "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
My prayer is that you and your wife experience his grace and forgiveness and in faith and repentance turn to Jesus for healing.
"I am a man. See me as a human being—not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated."
Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.
Burning the remaining shreds of my YouTuber cred by retweeting all this stuff has honestly been worth it. The most worthy thing I could spend it on tbh
Throwback to pro-life celebrity Tim Tebow hosting a red carpet event to humanize people with special needs, including children with Down syndrome.
These people are valuable and worthy of life. 🤍
@LnxRocks@JeremyDBoreing Think higher up. Biden wouldn’t have lasted in office had the people around him not kept him there. And those people wouldn’t be empowered in a different cultural milieu. It was the intersectional Marxism in the culture that empowered those people and ruined the Star Wars sequels
I am the oldest of 5 kids (mom is a stone cold killer)
My sister, who follows me in birth order and is 2 years younger, came to this world disabled: nonverbal and severely developmentally delayed on almost every cognitive dimension
I “spoke for her” until she could talk on her own (around age 5)
-still lives with my parents
-can’t really take care of herself
-has major health issues that are almost a full time job for my parents
-gets in fights with my kids
-borrows money from me with no intent to repay
And yet
imagine having the cast of characters from “love on the spectrum” in your life 24/7
someone who will go to any Padres game with you at the drop of a hat
someone who is always available to get taco bell with you no matter what
someone who never forgets your birthday and makes sure that you get cake (she wants some too)
idk - feels like I’m on the winning end of this trade and it’s not particularly close 🤷🏼♂️
love you Kendall (today is her 39th birthday)
