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.

Emma Watson explains why having your dream life doesn't guarantee happiness
“To have to ask myself the question of like, you right now have the career and the life that looks like the dream but are you really happy Emma? Are you really healthy? Are you really happy? Is this really what you want?”
“To be at that point and have to admit to myself that I wasn't and I didn't was one of the scariest things I've ever had to do because I basically had to ask myself on a daily basis. I felt like I was crazy and walking away from something without knowing what you're walking towards”
“Not having the answers but leaving something that the world considered to be such a high value moment in my professional life and career”
“I think sitting with that was a real moment of reckoning of like, can you tell yourself the truth? Can you live with your truth? Can you accept the fact that for most other people your truth is pretty confusing and unpalatable?”
“That was definitely a hard moment of sitting, more recently because I've been being my own partner asking myself, are you really living your values, things that you preach? Are you actually aligned?”
“Looking at some spaces in my life I was like, no, not at all. I'm actually not doing what I talk about and I need to create some sort of urgency or a deadline for that so that I make sure that I'm a person of integrity. I purport to be someone that cares about the world and about the planet and sustainability”
“There are some things I was doing. Was it enough by my own standards? Not by anyone else's. Just by my own. Probably not but what's nice is I actually have the time now to be like, ‘Okay, what are you going to do about it? Get on with it’”

So I recently sold all my houses, cars, and most of my physical assets. Told some friends and… well they all think I lost my mind lol
I’m not saying world’s gonna end tmr. Those who know me know I’m actually annoyingly optimistic. People say we’re already in a recession but I genuinely think the real correction hasn’t even started.
And honestly a crash you’re prepared for is just opportunity. Prep the cash flow now and be ready when it hits.
Few months ago I tweeted a 1920-1939 side by side with 2020-now and I was like aha this earth simulation game isn’t even trying to be surprising.
America First was literally a 1920s slogan. Middle class getting wiped, kids going hard left, the right cashing in on the backlash, yada yada. Same movie. They didn’t even bother changing the lines.
But it’s not just the 1930s. This “coincidental” pattern keeps showing up
Every time in history you get this specific set of things at once:
> “empire” past its prime but won’t admit it
> up and coming power that stopped playing nice
> new tech nobody has rules for
> wealth gap gone cartoonish
> globalization reversing
> institutions bleeding trust while pretending everything’s fine
UNFORTUNATELY, it’s never ended quietly. Crash, war, usually both. Looking back, 1890-1914 literally looked unstoppable.
> globalization booming, tech changing everything
> markets ripping, rich getting richer, international trade at record highs
> everyone convinced world had become too interconnected for a major war
BUT then reality arrived.
> 1914 WW I, 1918 spanish flu, 1921-1923 Weimar hyperinflation, 1929 great depression 1939 WW II.
Just imagine you’re a civilian living in between any one of those events, literally each one felt like the worst thing that could happen until the next one hit.
And I know how this sounds. This random green cat on X reads a bit of history and suddenly thinks the sky is falling. i would’ve scrolled past this a year ago too lol.
But just look at how familiar the setup feels rn.
A debt spiral. A rising challenger. AI detonating entire industries. Institutional trust collapsing. Millions of young people looking at the future and deciding they got sold a lie.
You see it too right? That’s usually not when history calms down.
And sure, you’ll say the system survived 2008. Central banks have the tools. The world’s too connected to actually break.
You know who said basically the same thing? Everyone in 1913.
A famous economist Norman Angell wrote a bestseller arguing war between major powers had become impossible because their economies were too intertwined.
And guess what? A year later they were at war.
The irony is he wasn't even wrong.
The thing everyone pointed to as proof the system was safe ended up being what made the fallout global.
Look at the positioning now.
Stocks at all time highs. And everyone, I mean everyone, priced like things stay calm forever. Markets, governments, companies, all quietly betting on stability while the ground under it gets shakier every year.
Trigger? No idea. Nobody ever knows. Franz Ferdinand (the dude who got shot and basically started WWI) wasn’t on a single dashboard in June 1914.
So yea, I sold most of my illiquid assets. Still got stocks and crypto. Stocks prob exiting before end of year. Maybe I look crazy for a year or two.
But I’d rather be wrong than be the dude on his knees in financial ruins asking God why he saw the train coming and stayed on the tracks anyway.
“This time is different” is probably the most expensive sentence in history. And lately it’s the only thing I hear.
And before someone says I’ve lost my mind, ask yourself something.
Why do so many billionaires keep buying land in New Zealand?
Why do people with private jets, intelligence briefings, and more money than they’ll ever spend keep building backup plans?
Maybe they’re paranoid.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
Or maybe ordinary people are always the ones told everything’s fine right before they become fuel.
