i’m a christian, and i think one of the biggest problems with these conversations is that many people are more passionate about preventing the abortion than they are about supporting the life that comes after birth.
i understand why people disagree with her conclusion but i also think many of the responses are missing her actual point.
her point isn’t really about down syndrome, her point is about responsibility.
a lot of people are speaking from a place of moral conviction while ignoring the environment these children are born into, in many communities, children with down syndrome are mocked, isolated, denied opportunities, and treated as burdens, their parents are often left to navigate everything alone.
what frustrates me is that some of the same people condemning her tweet will never advocate for disability inclusion, never support affected families financially, never push for better healthcare, and never challenge the stigma these children face every day.
christianity is not just about defending principles, it’s also about carrying burdens, if we’re going to speak about what families should do, we should be equally advocating for society to support them.

in the eastern part of Nigeria I grew up watching kids with Down syndrome getting called “mbe”. They get laughed at, isolated, mocked by their school peers. Their parents are constantly overwhelmed. The child and parents have to suffer emotionally, financially, mentally. But you, especially you in Nigeria is telling me terminating a pregnancy when the fetus has been detected to have DS is evil, Mtchew. You lot irritate me pls
