Jesse Ridgway, known online as "McJuggerNuggets", recently shared that he and his wife aborted their unborn son after he was diagnosed with Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome.
The Ridgway's viral announcement sparked a much bigger conversation about abortion, disability, and the sinister role of eugenics in abortion decisions.
In this episode, we talk about why a Down syndrome diagnosis so often changes how parents decide the value of their child’s life. We also expose what happens when technology is used to identify genetic conditions before birth and abortion becomes the expected next step being pushed relentlessly by doctors.
Our conversation isn't just about one influencer's tragic abortion decision. It is about the growing pressure to decide who is worth welcoming into the world based on a test result.
