Viral YouTuber Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) has sparked a massive online debate after he announced today that he and his wife "terminated their pregnancy"--in other words, ended the life of their baby--following a Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis they were "devastated" over.

Jesse’s now-infamous tweet seems to miss the mark on the inherent value of a human life entirely–reducing his baby’s existence down to disease statistics and the likelihood of inconvenience… all while fighting with every resource necessary to keep his DOG facing Stage IV cancer alive as long as possible.

As a mom, this conversation hit me deeply. I'm not making this video to attack Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets). This story is about something much bigger than one person, one family, or one decision. It reminded me that every person is more than a diagnosis, more than a prognosis, and more than the challenges they may face. Some of the most beautiful people I've met have taught me that joy, purpose, and love often show up in places the world least expects.

I hope this conversation encourages you to fight for the dignity of all people, and I hope what Mia Armstrong and Shane Gillis share about the reality of Down Syndrome resonates with you as much as it did with me. 

💛 Every life has worth. Every life has purpose.
