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.

The competitive side of me thinks handshake lines in a pro sport is soft as hell. But the kid side in me who grew up playing sports learning to show good sportsmanship thinks itās cool as hell that they do this, especially after going at each others throats for 60 minutes.
