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. ❤️
Nick Fuentes can’t deal with any criticism of his blatant hypocrisy, taking a faux “moral masculine” position ultimately encouraging single motherhood running cover for Rachel Wilson’s 3 baby daddy & Andrew Wilson’s cucķholding behavior. This isn’t men raising children whose fathers died in war… it’s just overall dysgenic behavior.
For honest conversation to take place there would be allowing of the floor and opening statements, without any formal agreement or decorum than we are left to shout and scream and use any mean to win instead of having true intellect win the battle
Some thoughts.
I'm going to post my critique of the manosphere in the next few days. But long story short...
Fertility and marriage have gone up and down throughout history due to economic and technological changes, medical advances, and war. Feminism is "downstream" or a "lagging indicator" of material conditions. The almost universal monogamous society of 1950s and '60s America was an aberration, not anywhere close to being the norm across world history.
Men who are more intelligent or richer, or more brave, bold, aggressive, or reckless, have outbred their contemporaries throughout world history—again, with the notable exception of maybe 20 years in mid-century when America had a brief period of almost universal monogamy . This fits the breeding pattern of aggressive male completion among mammals and, even more so, the "breed then die" ethos of insects.
The "manosphere," as it's currently constituted, is a resentful, socialist movement of low-status men. They feel entitled to aberrational, illusory universal monogamy, not to mention a steady job and wife. Marxists would make recourse to labor strikes to get what they want. The Manosphere claims that they are "traditional," which they most certainly are not.
On the other hand, I'm ambivalent about feminism, to the degree that it represents "choosiness" among women. Only the strong get through and thus have a future. Perhaps feminism is Mother Nature's response to the dysgenic breeding patterns that people like Andrew Wilson want to universalize. It's a way of breeding higher types or at least reducing lower types.
As for the Wilsons, I think I made myself clear. They are a contemptible and embarrassing pair. Andrew is a weakling. His wife is an obnoxious slut and probably deranged. No polite person would bring up their chaotic "family" unprompted ... but since they go on lecturing people about "tradition" and "Christianity," they make it fair game. In a word: Yikes!
As for the debate, I asked for 10 minutes to make an opening statement. I obviously would give Wilson the same in return. I need five minutes to clear my throat, and expect a productive conversation and back-and-forth. This was apparently too much to ask!
A similar thing occurred when Rebel Wilson "debated" RFH. She demanded that RFH turn on her video, which she was, at the time, in no position to do and had expressed as much. She then quit, in the same manner that Andrew did. My sense is that this pair wants to turn "technicalities" into debate victories. No one's buying it.
Regardless, both Andrew and Rebel are vile, ignorant proles, and I'm quite happy to never cross paths with them again.
