Imagine feeling safe and vulnerable enough with a man to open up about your sexual abuse trauma, only for him to sneeringly dismiss and publicly mock you because you shortened the phrase “the guy who raped me” to “my rapist”, and from your honest suffering and shame, he spins a lurid cuckold fantasy of sexual dispossession. Then thousands of men join him.
Suddenly everybody on Twitter loves people with Down Syndrome so much and that couple who aborted their DS baby are devils.
All of you condemning them:
How many DS children have you raised?
How many DS adults are you friends with / hang out with?
How many DS people do you date?
We all know the answer to these questions.
99% of the people sitting on their moral high horse neither care for people with Down Syndrome nor do they include them in their lives in any way.
They have never gone to any orphanage to consider adopting a child with DS.
They would never consider seriously being friends with or spending time with a person with DS.
Some of them are even repulsed by people with DS but want to pretend they are saints when it’s time to condemn that couple.
Why would any loving mother choose that fate for her child?
Do you think mothers of children with DS are happy seeing their children being excluded and rejected, and never being able to live a full independent life?
Let alone the fact that whenever a family with a disabled child breaks up, 9 times out of 10 the father abandons the mother with the disabled child and the woman becomes a lifelong hostage unable to live life because she has been enslaved to the endless care of her disabled child.
On top of that she spends her entire life worrying who will care for her child after she dies and because of this worry some old women have even killed their disabled child and killed tnemselves out of despair and worry of what will happen to their child.
So what was the point?
After listening to wicked people at the time of pregnancy and not aborting, spending a lifetime caring for the child without respite, only to end up still killing the child because SURPRISE SURPRISE, none of those people who shamed you to not abort were willing to volunteer to help care for your disabled child to give you a break while you were young, or now that you’re too old and frail to continue.
These people just want to see women as slaves in every unpleasant situation in the world, and as a woman you are the only say and the FINAL say on whether you give birth to a child or not, because when the suffering begins NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL EVER SUFFER WITH YOU.
I don’t call yall racist anymore. I call you cattle. Because that’s what you all are. The useful, mindless cattle of rich pedophiles who string you along and sustain you until they inevitably kill you all and eat you.
never forget how the US used agent orange during the Vietnam War: sprayed on civillians, contaminating land, damaging ecosystems, and generations later kids are still born with disabilities linked to dioxin exposure. The US never issued a formal apology and paid compensation
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. ❤️
The reason why The US hasn’t apologized or given reparations for the genocide of Black Americans, is because you can’t apologize for something you’re actively doing.
