@PhillyCali86 @KristanHawkins my daughter's dna test said she may have trisomy 13 because my blood affected the results of her test, dumbass

i don't care how you were raised. you're an adult, unlearn that nonsense.

Babies are not burdens.
Motherhood is not oppression.
The world needs more mothers who say this out loud.

[Andrew Daub @TheResoluteLife]

Absolutely the most diabolical, heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a very long time.

Iron Will is asleep right now. So I’m going to kiss his beautiful little forehead and quietly promise him - yet again - that I will fight to my last breath for him and every person with Down syndrome from the moment of conception forward.

That I will never relent in pushing back against the utterly depraved mentality that dehumanizes him and deems him as less, as unworthy of life.

And then I will pray. For the little baby lost, for this broken, broken world and for redemption.

Join me.

@Judd5ter @KristanHawkins i personally know multiple people who were told their children had disabilities, masses, etc & the babies were perfectly healthy upon birth

with my own pregnancy, any more invasive testing beyond a blood sample taken from myself was not recommended coz a high miscarriage risk

[Tanya @turnedwife]

The argument that children hold you back, and keep you from achieving, only sounds true to those who don’t have children

Because everyone who has children knows there is no greater motivation to do better, become better, and make the world better than the moment you meet your child

[Forest @forestvanslyke]

If you would terminate a pregnancy because your child could have health issues, don’t try for a child at all

[Sofia Carbone @sofiaicarbone]

it is not more tragic?

the entire justification in the original post was about terminating the pregnancy because of a diagnosis, but the diagnosis is inaccurate in many cases. that in an of itself discredits the premise. it is emphasis on the flaw of their own twisted justification for terminating the pregnancy.

i was told my child may have trisomy 13. worst case, she would not survive more than a couple weeks after birth if she made it to term. she is now five months old and completely healthy.

there is still so much inaccuracy when it comes to diagnosing in utero. it should not be used as a justification to end a life. i am not attaching different values to life based on disabilities. i made an entire other post vehemently defending the importance of each life.

[Kristan Hawkins @KristanHawkins]

This is eugenics. It is morally bankrupt. And it should never be legal.

We must pass a PRENDA law to ban killing children based on their genetic code.

I pray my son with cystic fibrosis doesn’t read this man’s post.

[Sofia Carbone @sofiaicarbone]

an innocent life deserves unconditional love. not judgement, discrimination, and capital punishment.

we should not be allowed to cherry pick children. especially since so many prenatal 'diagnoses' are inaccurate

who are you to deem a life unworthy? to say having DS is "objectively shitty"?

it is actually mind boggling the mental gymnastics you've done convincing yourself death was better for the child. and how awful to speak so ill about a condition many people live & thrive with.

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. ❤️

Rob Gronkowski shares his advice for NFL rookies: You don't need a $200,000 car

“This is simple advice. You just need that $60,000 car. It's basically just as flashy. It's not going to make you more of a man or make you play better on the football field”

“If you start getting on that train right away and buying everything, all the jewelry, nice cars that depreciate in value the second you pull out of the lot, then guess what? You're going to want to live that life your whole entire time”

“Spend within your means and don't go overboard. You don't need everything flashy right away. Put it away because you never know when the NFL is going to be done with”

“If you put it away, you're set. You don't have to worry about anything. Even if you put $2 million away, you're set. It's fantastic”

[Sofia Carbone @sofiaicarbone]

she's also a huge fan of most fresh fruits & melons

*she sucks/gnaws on most of these, just to get the nutrients out of them and textural exposure. what she does actually consume is thick purées / mashed

You need to be teaching your children to be proud to be American

You must never allow anyone to tell them they should apologize for being American

From Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and beyond

America is the land of adventurers, explorers, and heroes
