Once again, a YouTuber is making headlines for doing something incredibly stupid. This time, it also happens that their actions are unbelievably evil to boot. Jesse Ridgeway, also known by his online alias McJuggerNuggets, and his wife made the fateful decision to murder their child in the womb simply because their child would’ve been born with Downs Syndrome.
“As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family,” Ridgeway said about murdering his child. “Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. “
Ridgeway faced a well-deserved mountain of backlash for his choice to take the life of his unborn child. As with many of these types, Ridgeway somehow believes that he is the victim in all of this because they “lost” their kid after making the “impossible decision” to have it murdered.
“I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision,” Ridgeway said about receiving criticism for his decision to kill his unborn son over having a disability. “The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called ‘murderous pieces of s[**]t, evil, compared to Hitler’ and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.”
Ridgeway of course could not see how morally evil his own actions were, but was quick to call out those of others.
“If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet,” Ridgeway said after making the depraved choice to kill an innocent child. “It’s a s[**]t-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.”
Ridgeway further justified the decision by saying that he didn’t want to “bury his son” if he were to die from further health complications. Apparently, it’s far easier to just have your son killed in an act that is no different than hiring a hitman before tossing him in the garbage to never be thought of again.
Ridgeway quickly moved to monetize the murder of his child as well, posting a video online hoping to gain sympathy from his fans over their actions. As some have pointed out, Ridgeway is notorious for creating fake family-drama content for views and was what propelled the influencer to internet fame during the earlier years of YouTube.
It’s unfortunate that so many in the media and online use terms like “terminate the pregnancy” to describe what just took place. Cruel euphemisms like “termination” and even “abortion” sterilize the barbaric act and lessen the blow of what is already a nearly indescribable evil. In a healthy society, people like this would be prosecuted for what they’ve done. Being shamed online is an incredibly light repercussion for murder, so we can only hope that Christ can thaw the hardened hearts who have allowed this to become normalized.
We should pray for the Ridgeways to fully understand the evil that they’ve committed and for them to experience true repentance for their actions. We likewise should pray that our country moves to bring justice to sick, selfish individuals who are willing to murder their own children because they may feel burdened.
Ping.
And to make things worse, they felt compelled to make a video about it and post it out for all to see. 😖
Hopefully God has a much different plan for your “family” and you just never have an outcome.
Maybe he’s related to Gary ridgway and just spells his name differnt cuz of the notoriety
Not popular with me.
I saw video of these cretins, and I didn’t believe a word they were saying. She was fake crying. Doubtful if she was even pregnant. It’s all about the clicks.
[[I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol]]
Neither had the unborn child who bore the brunt of their hatred for someone who wasn’t perfect mentally.
At least the child is in heaven. Hope the two parents can have the scales removed from their eyes so they can see how incredibly evil murdering their child was, and they can repent and turn to Christ
For all those people who’ve had children with downs syndrome... Forgive them.
They do not appear to understand how evil they are and that is likely because of their ignorance. Every time they see a child with downs syndrome and that child is smiling back at them... They will be reminded... And those reminders will hopefully be painful for them... They deserve that pain.
So... They’re going to keep having children and then killing those children in the womb until they find perfection???
Let’s hope not.
Agreed. If they chose to do this, then it's between them and God. But this type of public display comes across as a celebration or some sort of a badge of honor.
We must pray for their repentance...but if they do not may they be as rich man Dives, watching from afar while the Downs syndrome children are nestled in the bosom of Abraham.
This is Pride month. /s
I hope these selfish people are never able to conceive another child-let them live forever with regrets for killing their unborn baby. I believe that God is disappointed and unhappy when his most precious gift is rejected and returned unopened...
disgusting
Probably. There are a lot of dramatizations out there by attention whores looking to ride the wave of controversy.
May they be surrounded by down syndrome people their whole lives
