Another PSA - special needs kiddos are not a fate deserving death, and please block me right now if you’re comfortable with eugenics.

Each of my children in this picture is equally worthy of living their fullest, best life on this gorgeous day.

@jason_howerton *THEIR child, because remember, men can be pregnant gestating parents too you bigot. I can't even.

When my wife was pregnant with our kids, both times we refused to do the test for Down Syndrome or any other issues. It didn't matter to us.
Abortion was never an option.
They were already our children and we loved them.
It didn't matter if they were born with defects.

[Samantha D. @Prolife_Sam]

It's crazy to live in a time of history where it's not only legal for parents to kill their children simply because of their disabilities but then to publicly announce it to appease their guilt and get likes.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Every single child with Down syndrome is a gift from God, who deserves life.

These children have just as much value, and deserve life just as much as a child without DS.

Down syndrome children aren’t a curse to parents.

Pass it on.

Hi!
Killing a baby in your womb because it *might* have a birth defect is murder!
Have a good night! 😘

[Erika Schanzenbach @ErikaSchanz]

Someone look up that word?
What was it?
Eugenics?

[Brittany Hughes @RealBrittHughes]

Just learned that the couple who aborted their baby for having Downs was a) documenting the story for weeks for clicks and b) has a disabled dog they've spent tons of $$ keeping alive. Anyone who pretends this is some morally gray issue rather that straight-up evil is either stupid or lying.

[eXeGeTe @_exegete_]

This is disgusting and heartbreaking.
This is LITERALLY eugenics. Selective process.
Imagine thinking a baby is not worth having because they might be disabled, or in other words, not be 'perfect'.
What despicable people.
I am heartbroken.

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

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.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?

Good morning, have you contacted @AmazonMGMStudio yet about the Stargate cancelation?

Remember, let the OG Creators Create or RELEASE THE RIGHTS

@MarkJCarney is a coward, a snob, and a traitor to our country.
He and his brown-nosed elitist lapdogs don't care about you.
They don't.
He will say one thing here and the opposite in the US.
He sips $300 freshly squeezed apple and orange juice on his jet while avoiding answering questions.
He's spent more time on that same jet than he has in parliament.

He sends billions and billions to the Ukraine while Canadians end up on the street, can't afford gas, food, or rent.

WAKE UP, Canada.
It's not Trumps fault.
It's not Pierre's fault.
We are in a recession because of Carney and his Liberal lunatics.
His actions and behaviour are downright treasonous.

Is it professional for a sitting PM to laugh a a woman who is homeless?

Well.......Carnage did just that.

This is the most vile thing he has done to date. Thank you @PierrePoilievre for calling him out on it.

Should he apologize?

[Matt Jarbo @mjarbo]

Have you guys heard about the SUPERGIRL stolen artwork situation?

Because this is wild.

DC is selling official SUPERGIRL movie merch for $119.95, with artwork by Bilquis Evely, the artist from SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW.

And one of the aliens in the piece looks almost exactly like Lexo Sooger from STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI.

Not “same general alien vibe.”

Same hunch. Same long neck. Same head shape. Same silhouette. Same jewelry placement.

Come on.

Maybe there is some explanation here. Maybe it was licensed. Maybe it is the strangest coincidence in recent comic art history.

But looking at the images side by side, it sure looks like that STAR WARS alien was traced or lifted into official SUPERGIRL merchandise.

That is a huge problem.

This is not fan art posted on Instagram.

This is official DC product tied to a major movie.

If there is an explanation, DC should give it.

If there is not, pull the print.

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE

[eXeGeTe @_exegete_]

@FastHorseAtDusk @IterIntellectus Not saying Nolan's is going to be good. It looks horrible.
But AI is not a replacement for film and never will be.
