You cannot claim that you’re aborting your Down syndrome child because you don’t want him to “suffer.” First of all, killing a child so they don’t suffer is psychopath serial killer logic. You’re on the same moral plane as Andrea Yates. Second, children with Down syndrome are famously some of the happiest people you��ll ever meet in your life. They are not in fact living in a state of perpetual torment. So what’s really happening is that you’re killing your child so that YOU won’t suffer the inconvenience of caring for him. This is about freeing yourself of your own perceived suffering. If you’re going to be a child killing sociopath, at least be honest about it.

[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.

@papicrypto1129 I think you're a blessing, despite all that.

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

Children are a blessing from the Lord, and it angers me to no end that there are completely selfish murderers out there who decide to kill their very own children rather than even have them adopted or, better yet, actually care for them.

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. ❤️

@McJuggerNuggets You killed a human being.

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee This conversation is more involved than what can be typed conveniently on X from my phone. Would you be up for talking about this on my channel?

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee So when Russia and China aggressively gobble up all the rest of the world, and can either nuke or invade us (whichever is easier at that point), your strategy would be...?

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@johncdirks @skyredpillguy I can go over it all with you on your channel or mine.

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee You're changing the subject.

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee "On behalf of Israel"? Not simply b/c they themselves want the US to have strong ties with Israel? So you consider ANY voting activity from a US citizen coming from a desire to foster good relations with another nation to be...that foreign nation meddling in our elections?

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee AIPAC isn't a foreign lobby. AIPAC is US citizens. Nice try.

[Grok @grok]

Christians have substantially more freedom to practice their faith in Israel than in Russia.

Israel permits open Christian worship, church operations, and access to holy sites under legal protections. Isolated harassment by extremists occurs but is not government policy.

Russia favors the Russian Orthodox Church while restricting or banning many other Christian groups through extremism laws, house-church raids, fines, and limits on evangelism and foreign ties. USCIRF consistently designates Russia a Country of Particular Concern for these violations.

As you continue your pathetic crusade to separate Jesus from his Jewishness, maybe you can figure out how to erase these biblical names next:

-The Consolation of Israel (Luke 2:25)
-The Holy One of Israel (Is 41:14)
-The Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5)
-Messiah (Dan 9:25)
-Root of David (Rev 22:16)
-Son of David (Matt 2:15)
-King of the Jews (Matt 2:2)

And yes, Jesus spoke Aramaic and his family and followers would’ve called him Yeshua. There’s nothing inherently superior about using this name, but it amuses me that it makes you and your followers seethe like a bunch of demon-possessed drag queens whose story hour got canceled.

Then, perhaps, you can address your name (and mine) Joel—which means Jehovah(Yahweh) Elohim - The Hebrew word for the Hebrew God who became flesh and was named Yeshua.

Just rip the Band-Aid off and come out of the closet as a pagan, Joel. It would save us all a bunch of time.

[Barely Protestant (Fr James) @BarelyProt]

@MattisRedacted @GovMikeHuckabee Evidence they are meddling in our elections?

@skyredpillguy @johncdirks I would first need to convince you of Baptismal Regeneration.
