I’ve 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 “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” 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 we’ll 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. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.
What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s 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. It’s 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 news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?
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: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.
That’s 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. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

@AgeOfChudmar@LDS_Dems News flash for ya:
1) @Ch_JesusChrist is the true Restored church on the earth
2) Temples will INCREASE upon the earth (sorry, haha 😆)
3) All who fight against this Church will eventually perish
Suck it up, bud
I know this may be unpopular with the Left and liberal Christians, but if my wife and I were having a Down syndrome baby, we’d love it with all our hearts! 💙
I’m a Christian; I know this may be unpopular, but if I found out a pregnancy had Down syndrome or another serious congenital abnormality, I would opt for an abortion.
I have immense respect for parents raising children with special needs, but I also recognize that it's not a responsibility I see myself taking on.
That's my personal choice.
The Bible originally contained pure truths.
Here’s what happened, and you’re probably not going to like answer:
Through the early years of the formation of the Catholic Church the Bible passed through hands of wicked men.
Some truths that were originally contained in the Bible were altered or removed.
That’s why we as Latter Day Saints accurately state in our Article of Faith #8 “We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.”
After 33 AD (the Savior’s death), there was:
• a falling away (The Great Apostasy)
• the priesthood authority removed
• doctrines changed and removed
A Restoration of priesthood authority and truths was needed.
Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father visited Joseph Smith and called him as the new prophet in the latter days to restore Their church again on the Earth.
And, a true and divinely inspired translation of the Bible is called the Joseph Smith Translation. Definitely check it out:

Hey Byron, thanks for replying to 1 of the 4 points I mentioned.
I know that in the end, when you pass away from your mortal life, you’ll gain additional true knowledge of the Godhead (that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct individual beings).
Also an extra tidbit of information, the third member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost, will eventually gain a body as a mortal man and will become a resurrected being too.
And, care to address my other three points, such as how the Catholics believe so easily the deceptive spirit “The Lady” / Ishtar that appears as “mother Mary”?
Or the false practice of infant baptism?
The church with priesthood authority to perform ordinances of salvation was gone within the first century AD.
That is why Christ and Heavenly Father RESTORED the their church on the earth again.
Also, another note. Look at the structure of Christ’s original church in 33AD (e.g. first presidency, a quorum of 12 apostles, quorum of the seventies, etc).
Between the Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there is clear winner in structure, and that is the latter, not the former.
The Catholic Church, the creeds, etc attempted to replicate what Christ originally built, but failed.
It’s a large church with zero priesthood authority.
Truth bombs for Byron:
1. The Catholic Church has zero priesthood authority, that belongs to the @Ch_JesusChrist
2. The Catholic Church is full of abominations, false creeds, and false doctrines (baptizing babies, the Trinity, etc)
3. “The Lady” (Ishtar, etc) is a demonic entity that parades itself upon this earth as “Mother Mary”, and Catholics fall for it hook, line, and sinker 🪝
4. When Christ returns to the earth He will return as the Bridegroom to the Bride, which is His true Restored church on the earth, aka @Ch_JesusChrist
