Doing better than I deserve.

[Ricky Berwick @rickyberwick]

YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife abort their child after finding out the baby was crippled.

You can excuse murder?

[Renatta Oxendine @Renatta]

My name is Renatta, I’m 45 years old, and I have a genetic condition.

Yes, I have some struggles, but I still live a full, productive, and joyful life.

Parents, if your unborn child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder, it isn’t a curse. Please give your child a chance at life. Their life won’t be perfect, but no one’s is. Let your child be a blessing to you and to others. Don’t throw away what God has given you.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

@SonderPatriot Yes, the actions of our societies in the past have lead to today's problems. Worry not, I don't expect wignats to understand.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

You murdered your child you didn't "lose" anything.

[Jesse Ridgway @McJuggerNuggets]

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.

The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.

Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.

If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.

What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.

So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.

There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.

On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.

What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?

There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?

The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.

I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.

That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.

So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.

There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.

To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

@dangainor @ZELLKLUMPEN He will likely not have to. He'll see them when they take their place to God's left side is my guess.

[meme bastard 🍕 @mask_bastard]

It’s not grim, it’s evil.

They could have given the baby up for adoption. They could’ve done a lot of things.

Often I’ve said that abortion isn’t just murder, it’s something so much worse. It’s a denial of life and opportunity, there’s a lot of people with Down’s syndrome who brighten up people at their lowest possible moments. Very sad that they did this.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

Yeah, fella in the video really looks like hes suffering. So terrible for everyone.

Downs Syndrome isn't fucking AIDS, it isn't Harlequins disorder. They're just lacking compared to standard people mentally. Its not "protecting the weak" to kill babies in the womb. You murderous vipers will come up with any excuse to avoid accountability.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

No, you don't get to choose that. It isn't their life. That child they murdered was his own person, entitled to life as such. This is nothing to say you don't get to choose all sorts of other things that happen to you in life. You get to decide your response to troubles in life, and they chose murder. You, and them, and anyone else espousing your position, need to rip off the bandaid and recognize theres nothing that seperates you from the people who stuck everyone seen as a lesser in ovens and gas chambers to be killed at an industrial level.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

@Catholic_Minion @lisavsworld @Ruesavatar Hey so as a catholic you mind linking us to the writings of a church father that can tell us about how this is the case? I don't really care to read a layman's interpretations. I mean, personal interpretations aren't valid, after all.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

@taco_talks I don't think you could have said what you said worse if you were doing it on purpose.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

It quite plainly is not a non-statement. It actually does need to be said, because regardless of the fact many people are right to desire marriage, many people are also allowing themselves to become bitter over their singleness, and making excuses for sin because of it. I've seen it firsthand aplenty, and I see it across discussions here and elsewhere. Many people do in fact need to learn how to be at peace in singleness. We are called to abound when we have little in addition to when we have plenty. It wasn't an idle comment Paul made about anything, much less about what singleness represented.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

@giveemaglove @Brien_Jackson @jeff_byrd No, it is, because compromise implies both sides working towards meeting in the middle. Thats part of a genuine negotiation. Its not a compromise if one side is just caving to the other sides demands. Thats called capitulating, which is distinctly different.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

This mirrors the similar story of Jacen Solo with Luke in the EU. Jacen, the EU Kylo, falls to the dark side and kills Luke's wife, which as a result, leads him to abstain from fighting Jacen, for fear of the emotional tug of the dark side their battle would bring. But as Kennedy told us, there was no material to pull from when crafting the sequel trilogy.

[Omegilla @omegilla]

Honestly an even worse point not addressed is how there are no Jedi at this point in the setting. Like genuinely, this Luke in the Disney Trilogy is older than the EU Luke, who by his time had already raised up an Order with a respectable population. One that couldn't just be wiped out by one counterfeit Vader. You could have a Luke that has walked out and left the Jedi Order in disarray, but not only does "Jake" Skywalker not only abandon everything for no reason, he never even did anything in his prior decades of any worth whatsoever.

[Sean W. Malone | That’s just, like, your opinion. @CitizenAmedia]

I've made this point so many times and it never seems to sink in.

There are innumerable problems with TLJ, but the biggest by far is this. And the movie's defenders never seem to be able to understand it at all. They'll argue with the strawman version all day, claiming that their taste is more sophisticated and deeper because they like a darker, broken, washed up Luke and anybody who doesn't like it just wants childish levels of moral simplicity.

But the OT isn't actually childish in that way. Luke is complex and he has a real arc throughout that story.

And because he has a specific and well crafted character arc, when he shows up in TLJ as the polar opposite of the man we knew, that is pretty jarring. It's jarring, not because it's impossible to write a story where Luke went from the hopeful hero who struggled with but ultimately rejects the dark side and redeems his father in the process to a sad husk of a man years later.

I might question the wisdom of that direction more than other directions, but I can think of several ways to do it well.

That’s never been the problem. The problem is that none of Luke's character change is earned or explained within the film, so it makes zero actual sense. And when I talk to TLJ fans about this, they'll deflect and say that Luke being a hermit is explained by his failures with Kylo as if *that* is the core issue I'm concerned about. It's not.

Luke self-imposing exile after trying to kill his own nephew makes some sense.

What makes no sense at all is how Luke's entire OT character arc was completely reversed and undone in between RotJ and TFA, such that he'd ever even remotely consider killing his own nephew over a vision (remember how a key part of his early Jedi training involved learning to separate force visions from reality and how he literally lost a hand learning that lesson?), let alone actually begin to take action.

No excuse gets you around this problem.

All of the the character changes that would have had to have happened leading to Luke having any intent whatsoever of killing Ben and then to display the level of absolute cowardice thar is required for him to run away while he knows Kylo Ren is out there trying to glorify Vader and join the dark side, is just missing from the entire sequel trilogy. There's zero explanation for how Luke went from a hero who wins through refusing to kill his father and who instead offers him charity, compassion, and redemption... To a guy who would get so freaked out by a little nightmare that he tries to kill his nephew and then runs away, leaving him to become Vader 2.0.

@colinnettah @guideforlovers So we've hit this point with the meme, then?
