@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Listen I do share these feelings when looking at this and it is hard not to imagine your own kid in their place. The middle ground I take on abortion is with defects and assault, and not to excuse irresponsability/poor planning the way alot abuse abortion like its contraception

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Maybe you're not a bad person. Maybe you're just misinformed. This doesn't look painless to me: youtu.be/eR1Ut4BPbOw?si…

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. ❤️

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets No issue besides the fact that its still a hard decision to make hence why this couple is upset, not arguing that its a super easy decision, its what i personally think is best for everyone involved

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Well, to say someone is a monster or a shitty parent for not wanting that is up to you to believe. I see no issue in making the choice to prevent that and trying again for a child that wont be burdened, if it is done painlessly. I would see an issue for someone of faith tho

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets I have one that's turning 2 soon so what are you saying? That after having a kid you'd be ok with having another that's down syndrome?

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Translation: "You're right, I don't have children."

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets That being said its a different story once that bond is really established, for both parents

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Nobody develops the type or level of bond with their child as you are suggesting during the first trimester, though the mother begins developing one around then. The kind or bond you're talking about develops after, mostly for the mom, and for both after the 3rd and birth.

@justinsbanter @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets 100%. With ya there

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets They are sympathy farming. They’re so used to publicizing their lives that it’s a source of validation for them when ultimately that’s between them and God. It’s sad and I’m sure they’re crushed but this is a bizarre thing for them to rationalize on twitter. Wish them well.

@xXSupaFryeXx @CLOUDWYYY Life is hard enough, i would avoid bringing someone in that I knew would struggle. I see no issue with this unless you believe conception to be a divine intervention

@xXSupaFryeXx @CLOUDWYYY If the child has no hope for a normal life, they're that disabled, like vegetable for life, cant perceive anything around them, cant talk -- yeah it would be very painful but id pull the plug. If it gave them DS i would not pull the plug bc the bond thats already been built

Influencer couple apparently terminates pregnancy after finding out the Down syndrome diagnosis.. I can see why they’re getting backlash and honestly, well deserved.

@LeSmooth_ @benx672617 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Lol toots. Aight

@Cfrosted19 @benx672617 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Ok toots. Have a good day 😂

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets What part would you say is telling you I don't? I can prolly elaborate

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.

@justinsbanter @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets I gotcha I agree we dont need to tiptoe around language but this all seems more about the fact they killed the kid and less about how they said it, otherwise nobody would really care how he said it no? Nobody would give a shit right? Or is it bc they are sympathy farming

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Yeah that’s all well and good and I’d be inclined to agree but not to the point where we can’t accept the reality—he killed his kid. Reasons good or not, it is what happened. I think the language matters, can’t remove agency from it.

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Life is either a gift or a burden, and I reject the idea this was some kind of gift. Raising a kid is hard enough, a DS kid is a burden. This is a eugenics W

@bicycle_shorts @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets I mean for sure its killing the kid, id kill my kid if he was about to turn into a zombie and theres plenty of defects that effectively make you a zombie - inability to perceive your environment, to speak to think, making you completely reliant on a caregiver forever. Yes kill it

@InnerFr4tB0y @gremku @GameLoreDash @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets True I agree if someone has an update like this its weird to broadcast it to all and not just followers, I can see how it can be taken as sympathy farming and opens yourself up to people who disagree that is fair

@Cfrosted19 @gremku @GameLoreDash @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Hes not wrong though

@justinsbanter @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets If you value all life regardless of the circumstances then thats understandable, I'd say this battle is better fought against people who abuse abortion due to carelessness, poor planning or disregard for society. To place blame for not wanting a DS kid is trivial in comparison

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Beep boop not a gray area retard beep boop

@justinsbanter @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets The part about having downsyndrome is the gray area, a bot is more capable of recognizing this nonbinary

@Cfrosted19 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets He chose to kill his kid. There’s no gray area.

@EpicPolishGamer @DwarfInAmerica @djneyoru Massive agreement on anti abortionists acting like fgts here though, frfr

@EpicPolishGamer @DwarfInAmerica @djneyoru Uhh i think one of these things is not like the other lol

Imagine if it was a LGBT diagnosis instead, if a gay gene was detectable. Pro-lifers would abort without second thoughts
