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 motherās 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 āfor his own goodā. She schedules the appointment consents to the crushing and extraction, rests peacefully while her baby is tortured to death because he wasnāt perfect enough for her, and she walks away while the babyās tiny mutilated body is discarded in a āmedical wasteā 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 babyās 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 motherās womb does not disgust you regarding the āwomanās choiceā, then the propaganda worked on your weak, pathetic soul.
When 90% of children diagnosed with Down syndrome are never allowed to be born, the lesson is not that society should feel less shame. The lesson is that society has become comfortable with something that should trouble its conscience. Many things become common. Commonality is not the same as morality. A civilization is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable members, not by how quietly it disposes of them.
How sad for your kids.
By the way, do any of you ever stop to think for two seconds about the message youāre sending to people with Down syndrome, those in foster care, or others who were conceived under difficult or unfortunate circumstances when you constantly use their existence as justification for eliminating others?
What youāre essentially saying is that their lives are less valuable, less precious, and less worthy. Get your heads out of your asses and stop assigning the value of a human life based on how someone was conceived or whether they have a disability.
Also, all I hear in this post is āhow are the consequences of the choices that I personally made going to affect ME and MY LIFE, and how can I rid myself of those consequences, regardless if Iām in fact murdering my own offspring.ā
Found out their baby boy would likely be disabled, selfishly had him torn limb from limb, then go on the internet to try and feel better about their awful decision. Will try again for a ābetter outcome.ā No sympathy from me. Face your guilt Jesse and do better please.
Iāve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.
The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called āmurderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitlerā and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.
Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying weāll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.
If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. Itās a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape weāre all living in.
Whatās more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hellā¦seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they wouldāve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, thatās great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones donāt even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say theyāre going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accountsā¦It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you canāt contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just donāt post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and thatās awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. Itās very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.
What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream newsā¦A coupleās abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026ā¦?
There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised�
The reason this blew up is quite simple: ITāS BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I canāt blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. Itās very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so Iām glad I can help further the conversation.
Thatās exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.
So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.
There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.
To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. Iām sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

This guy is rich and could easily pay for all of the special care his child may have needed. Heās willing to spend thousands on a dog, but not on his own flesh and blood baby boy who still had a chance to be born perfectly healthy. Now heās upset because he chose to announce
@McJuggerNuggets According to your page, she was half-way along, 21 weeks.
Your baby was ripped limb by limb.
It could hear, feel, taste, suck its thumb, and survive outside of the womb.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nationās capital? Iād also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. šŗšø
Everyone likes to think they would have helped hide Jews in their basement in Nazi Germany.
Or that they would have been part of the underground railroad and freed people from Slavery.
Or that they would have been marching with Martin Luther King.
But the truth is, most people would not have been. Most people just do what the majority are doing.
90% of people abort when they get a Down Syndrome diagnosis? Can't be that bad.
It is though. It is eugenics. Even if everyone is doing it, it is wrong.
I genuinely cried over this child. This is devastating.
A baby with Down syndrome is not a āglitch.ā He was a human being with a heartbeat, a future, and inherent worth.
This was not ābeneficial to your family.ā This KILLED part of your family. Heartbreaking.
My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping:
Itās always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But itās always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it.
Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept.
But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when youāre seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ballā¦
Thatās when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. Thatās when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. Thatās when the game becomes unwatchable.
Thatās when the rules have to change.
When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, thatās when official governance has to be increased.
Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And thatās just unfortunate.
Something here has to change.
I average about 12 likes and 200 impressions when I post my bird photos.
But I just really like birds, so I share them anyways.
This is a mountain bluebird, one of the prettiest birds in North America.
This is the only one I've ever seen in Utah.
If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girlsā event, youāve already admitted you know he isnāt a girl and that his participation is unfair.
At that point, you're just seeking a public humiliation ritual for the girls.
Smith Entertainment Group and Intermountain Health announce creation of a world-class sports performance center co-located with Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth Practice Facilities and partnership beginning July 1, 2026.
This first-of-its-kind campus combines NBA and NHL practice facilities with a state-of-the-art sports medicine center, providing a competitive advantage unlike anything in professional sports.
