Jesse Ridgway, known on YouTube as “McJuggerNuggets,” made the internet furious after announcing that he and his wife Ashley aborted their unborn child after an amniocentesis test revealed a high likelihood of Down Syndrome. “We made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family,” Ridgway wrote in his statement.
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…
