This monster murders his unborn child because it wasn't perfect & then brags about it on social media as if they were being virtuous on some level. Nope. They paid someone to murder their child. Full Stop. Down's Syndrome children are wonderful & have the right to life & dignity.

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. ❤️

I would argue that pornography is a public health issue & the 1st Amendment does not protect it. And if the government wanted to censor pornography, it could.

@jasontromm I’ve been saying this all week!

@JoanneMason11 Love you. Love her. Please listen to her.

I'm not a Republican, MAGA nor pro-Trump, but how long will #ABC and #Disney put up with #JimmyKimmel's dangerous and tasteless rhetoric? @ABCNetwork @Disney @jimmykimmel #ABCDisney

@WarrenColeSmith @BenSasse So true! Tough interview to watch. I'm glad I did.

The death flail of this robot is traumatizing.

At a Beijing half marathon trial, a humanoid robot went down hard right before the start line, literally breaking apart. https://t.co/DoRsFq1pMT

Absolutely heartbreaking.

This baby will never know the warmth and loving care of his mother, or any mother.

And this was done by design, to serve the selfish desires of two adult men.

God have mercy on this baby and on us for allowing this.

50,000 Christians massacred in Nigeria since 2009. 🇳🇬

33 Christians massacred over Easter weekend in northern Nigeria. 🇳🇬

27 Christians were massacred on Easter Sunday in Plateau state Nigeria. 🇳🇬

Meanwhile, the Pope is visiting a mosque in Algeria.

9 states including DC allow for babies to be poisoned or dismembered up to birth:

Alaska
Colorado
Maryland
Michigan
Minnesota
New Jersey
New Mexico
Oregon
Vermont
DC

No place in America should allow the slaughter of innocent children. 

Ban abortion now!

What's with elderly movie stars and celebrities who insist on releasing photos of themselves in bikinis and trying to look sexy? Perhaps some dignity in one's golden years would be in order. Smacks of attention desperation. #moviestars #agewithdignity #oldmodels

[Whirled Views @WhirledViews]

I agree!

Perhaps wise clergy & religious leaders should just stay away from the White House under all administrations. Their reputations are never enhanced by these visits. Presidents should go to churches, not vice versa.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how so many young conservative males are buying into the hideousness of anti-semitism.

A chaplain does all the caring.
A shepherd equips the body to care.

A chaplain meets a sheep’s wants.
A shepherd leads the flock into health.

A chaplain is concerned for the insider.
A shepherd seeks to find lost sheep.

A chaplain manages.
A shepherd leads.

@kennymxu Wow, Kenny. You went out on a limb on this post and it's a rotten limb. People loved Israel a long time before the extremists re-emerged in Islam. You statement just does not stand up to honest scrutiny.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised when people who don't the difference between a man and a woman can't tell the difference between a king and a President. #NoKingsDay #NoKingsCharlotte #NoKings

@LilaGraceRose She's beyond prayer now.
