In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God.

Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.”

Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father.

When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk.

God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

I can’t ignore this post that I am seeing everywhere right now.
This is murder. This was a life taken by man.
Who are we to choose who lives and who dies?
Our society is becoming so perverse and moving farther and farther from God.

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. ❤️

You have to read the Old Testament to understand the New Testament.

@JoelWBerry I’m so sorry to hear. She sounds like an amazing woman.

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

There are so many studies that prove the important of kids having a father AND a mother in the home. Take out the biblical reason for heterosexual marriage and there’s plenty of research that states the better health for all with a dad and a mom.

[Anthony Bradley @drantbradley]

The man in the photo is called a “father.” Married fathers in the home are the strongest deterrent & most effective solution to gun violence, crime, poor academics, and substance abuse. Yet, policymakers and nonprofits ignore this data-driven fact routinely.

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

I poked a bear on Facebook yesterday by sharing that biblical marriage is between a man and a woman. So naturally I wrote an article on the deeper issue here.

@DavidEdgington Where in the Bible does it say that women cannot preach besides in a church/under a pastor's authority?

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

In 2015 when same-sex marriage was legalized by SCOTUS , I remember Christians (and my grandparents) saying that we will see landslide effects in our society.
They were right as we've seen in the last ten years with a greater perversion on gender and marriage.

BREAKING: U.S. support for same-s*x marriage falls to 55%, per Economist/YouGov poll.

@ostrachan I hope so!

@SethDillon He is utterly about views. And sadly this Tucker interview was a win for him.

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

@MikeWingerii He’s a grifter. I don’t think he would *actually* mean this off air…. At least I hope not.

@LilaGraceRose My favorite passage and definitely under taught in Baptist churches.

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

@SethDillon We also need to be careful to not share names with our platform of those we wish to “de-platform”

If your job mainly involves mental tasks, then find a hobby or outlet that is physical and work with your hands.

If your job mainly involves physical tasks, then find a hobby or outlet that is mental and uses more thought.

What's your outlet?

The more you grow in your relationship with the Lord, the more you will see flaws and/or disagree with theologians, pastors, Christians that you look up to.... that's normal.

No one is perfect and the only teacher who was/is flawless is Jesus.

[Allison Creagh @allisoncreagh]

@MikeWingerii Hey Mike! This was extremely helpful as I have had so much conversations with people on their view of Charlie, the memorial, and how we as Christians should be bold in cultural and political stances. I resonate a lot with what you said. Thanks!
