Abortion isn’t really a big issue for me, like it is for some… But this is beyond sick.. Some Youtube “influencer” named Jesse Ridgway had his wife get an abortion after they learned the child would be born with Down Syndrome.. Is this really what Democrats have become in the 2020s?
YouTuber Jesse Ridgway is defending his and wife Ashley’s decision to terminate her pregnancy after discovering that their unborn child would likely have Down syndrome.
“When it comes to being a first-time parent, or just trying to start a family in general, you don’t know until you’re thrust into this situation. You’re always just trying to make the best decision you can to benefit your child and your own life,” the content creator exclusively told Page Six on Friday.
Jesse (known as McJuggerNuggets online) explained that he initially became “comfortable” with the idea that their child would have the condition, which occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21.
“It starts to get really damning, and it just didn’t make sense for us,” he continued. “I hope people can empathize with that.”
According to Jesse, one of the toughest parts was coming to terms with the fact that he and Ashley had already been preparing for their baby’s arrival.
“We were imagining for months what our lives would be,” he said. “You get the nursery ready. Ashley was already buying clothes, and we’re thinking of what could be.”
