@conservmillen I appreciated you pushing him on this Allie. You handled a difficult discussion with class and grace. I felt his answer could have been stronger but I am grateful to God to be under and administration that is as pro life as this one. Small wins where we can.

@alisa_childers I enjoyed it from a cinematic perspective. I can appreciate that it is a technically well made movie. I agree the writing was terrible and ending was unsatisfying.

@MikeWingerii Blue letter Bible!

@McJuggerNuggets Calling a child created in the image of God a “glitch” is one of the most insanely horrific things I’ve read in a very long time. Lord Jesus, hold this precious child in your arms and bring his parents to a saving faith in you. Only you can redeem the evil that has been done. 🙏

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. ❤️

Happy #NuclearFamilyMonth Tennessee! This June, we’re celebrating the backbone of our great state and nation: strong families.

Raise your hand if you think Country Singer Carrie Underwood should perform at America’s 250th

[Hailey Foster @imhaileyfoster]

@MAGAVoice AGREED 🙌

I just finished reading @megbasham post in the Washington Post. Chills and tears! “It allows me to stop living like an orphan who must decode the universe to survive, and to live instead like a daughter whose father knows the end from the beginning”
POWERFUL! Pray for Megan. 🙏

Sooo @carrieunderwood when are we finally getting that rock album we all so desperately need?? 👀 #Americanidol

[Hailey Foster @imhaileyfoster]

#Americanidol glorifying God EVERY WEEK and incorporating worship into every episode had made me love the show more than I did before. Congratulations Hannah and Jordan for an incredible finally. Hannah you are so deserving of the win!! #hannahharper

[Hailey Foster @imhaileyfoster]

@megbasham Well don’t leave us hanging! Tell us the theory!

[Hailey Foster @imhaileyfoster]

@A_Huffstutler This what I said!! It would have been so much more entertaining and she just has better songs 😭

[Anna Huffstutler @A_Huffstutler]

Kinda thinking Idol should have done Carrie Underwood night instead of Taylor Swift night…

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

June is no longer Pride Month in Tennessee. With a stroke of the pen this week, June is now Nuclear Family Month in Tennessee. Thank you to our legislature and Governor @BillLeeTN. Other red states should adopt this immediately.

@JWAndrews11 Carrie and Taylor do NOT belong in the same lineup. D&R is the single greatest album ever released and it’s not even close 😭😭

Imagine if Catholics loved Christ Jesus with the same fervor they show for Pope Leo or Mary.

God doesn't bless any conflict?

Let me check this with Pharaoh's Army real quick…oh wait…how about the Canaanites…oh dang…Amelikites? Oops…Assyrians…crap…

All this hate for evangelicals when, statistically, we are the only bloc consistently holding it down for biblical marriage, the pro-life cause, secure borders, and every other issue.

We are by far the most conservative and united in every political, cultural, and moral area. This is not statistically contested. Without the strength and cohesion of this group, conservatives lose everything. Consequently, the country loses everything. Not an exaggeration.

So ask yourself: why would someone want to divide, destroy, and demoralize this stalwart group?

The answer is obvious if the person is progressive, but it becomes a bit murky when the people targeting this group are on the “right,” right? Something to ponder
