Being as someone who knows this couple personally— it is absolutely fucking SICKENING that their decision for their OWN family has made national headlines and is being skewed by the online media.
If you’re easily offended by this kind of stuff, I advise you to keep scrolling

@DillDoeczpu @FrostFox2001 I don't know you're right. You think murdering babies is sometimes okay and I do not.
English
@MarieAuret @FrostFox2001 You know I’m right LOL. You’re a joke. You know you’d pick a normal child over a retarded one if you had the choice. Don’t act so high and mighty. No one wants a retarded child and the people who do are just lying.

This is not "evil".
I have personally gone through something similar, and I feel confident saying that whether it is Down syndrome or other severe congenital conditions, every family faces different realities, levels of support, and access to medical information. Reducing all of these situations to a simple moral judgment does not accurately reflect the complexity of what these families go through.
Saying ‘Down syndrome children deserve life’ is emotionally appealing, but it oversimplifies a deeply complex issue.
No one is denying their worth as human beings.
But turning a medical, ethical, and lifelong caregiving reality into a slogan ignores the suffering, the variability in outcomes, and the legitimate choices families face.
Respecting life also means respecting reality—not replacing it with slogans.

YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife abort their child after finding out the baby had Down syndrome. Ridgway cited that they chose to kill the baby after deciding that he and his wife didn't want to be inconvenienced with a child with Down syndrome. "Things have been pretty dark for a while for us, and we felt this was gonna be a nice little ray of sunshine, and it's not." Horrific and selfish. An estimated 67% - 85% of pregnancies in the U.S. with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted. This is evil. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

@DillDoeczpu @FrostFox2001 Dildo here is a eugenicist. He thinks it's okay to kill people (who are already alive) with down syndrome. Dildo should stick to dildos.
English
@MarieAuret @FrostFox2001 So you’d rather have your child suffer for their entire life than put an end to it before it begins? How fucking selfish of you to bring someone into this world who can’t take care of themselves to make yourself look better.

@SkyriderXiii @FrostFox2001 I can't help but notice that the people in Down Syndrome advocacy groups were **born**

@MarieAuret @FrostFox2001 Down Syndrome advocacy groups say restricting access to abortion ultimately hurts more disabled people in the long run but go off it queen please tell the disabled what’s best for them

@mysteriouskat There it is. I like pro-choicers who just come out and say "I think it's okay to kill babies with disabilities." We win the argument a lot faster with you around.

I wasn't going to comment on this but tired of seeing all the self-righteous and cruel replies. Wrong or right, it was clearly a very difficult and painful decision. They were weighing the possibility that the child might experience pain, that his wife might be at risk giving birth, and a potentially extremely difficult road ahead, forever. Yes, sometimes doctors get things wrong. And once you have a child, you love them, you don't want to imagine life without them, even if there are severe issues. You figure out a way to make it work. But not everyone can make the same decision. And for each family that says how happy they are, there are many who struggle, and children who suffer. And it's not up to strangers to decide that path for anyone or spread hate towards people who no doubt are feeling a profound loss.

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’m a Christian; I know this may be unpopular, but if I found out a pregnancy had Down syndrome or another serious congenital abnormality, I would opt for an abortion.
I have immense respect for parents raising children with special needs, but I also recognize that it's not a responsibility I see myself taking on.
That's my personal choice.

@yoalexrapz Step 1- man kills his disabled child and tells X. Step 2- Christians tell other Christians to not be mean to the man who just killed his disabled child because that's harsh and crass. This is why we lost the culture war for 60 years.
English
I bet if that guy and his wife would have known they would have gone to prison for aborting their child with down syndrome they wouldn’t have done it.
English
He didn't kill a kid. They killed a fetus. I'm tired of equating the two. They're not the same. It's sick to act like a fully formed baby is equal to a developing fetus. Pro life people are sick freaks who delight in forcing people to raise children they don't want to.
The Christian Dad@Skeuleos
My son has Downs. Yes, he had a heart defect. Yes, he had heart surgery. Yes, it was hard. He's also in physical and speech therapy. Guess what? He loves his life and he's the absolute best. You don't get to kill your kid because it takes more work to raise them, you monster.
English
@TheLowkeyMummy That baby has separate DNA and is completely human. Abortion is just murdering a baby. You think its okay to murder people with disabilities.
English
People are acting like bringing a child into the world is only about the child.
If two parents already know they are not emotionally, financially, or physically prepared to care for a child with severe disabilities, that reality doesn’t disappear after birth.
The child’s quality of life matters.
The parents’ quality of life matters too.
Pretending otherwise doesn’t make anyone more compassionate. It just makes the conversation less honest.

Please make it stop. 🥴

There is nothing morally wrong with eugenics under atheism. Under this evil worldview eugenics is just evolution doing the thing it does.
Matter of fact eugenics is a good thing.
These are the frameworks you are arguing against when you argue with these people.
Human life doesn’t have intrinsic value.
And this is why atheism is deadliest ideology there is.

Let me put things in perspective > A child with down syndrome will have 20-50x chances to contract Alzheimer's/dementia > A child with down syndrome will a 10x of contracting cancer > A child with down syndrome will 50-65% chances of developing a heart condition and 50% chances of hearing & vision loss Now for financial sides of things > Compared to a normal healthy child it takes 2-6 times more to raise a child with down syndrome > Average costs up to 18 years of age could be between $400,000 to $700,000 (with insurance) Raising a child with down syndrome is not only cruel to them but to parents too. I haven't even mentioned the emotional stress of it. The choice 100% belongs to the parents. In 2024 532,000 children were confirmed victims of abuse. Half a million kids I bet if given a choice they would choose to be born to parents who actually wanted them.

@McJuggerNuggets You murdered your own disabled child, tweeted about it, and then felt surprised when there was backlash...?
English
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.
