Jesse Ridgway and Ashley Ridgway are standing by their decision. After the YouTuber, known online as McJuggerNuggets, shared that he and his wife made the “difficult decision” to terminate their pregnancy due to the fetus testing positive for Trisomy 21, or the chromosomal condition that causes Down syndrome, he addressed the backlash. “I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision,” Ridgway wrote in a June 4 Instagram Story. “Many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do." Ridgway confirmed June 3 that he and his wife—whom he wed in October—decided to terminate their pregnancy two months after their fetus tested positive for Trisomy 21. Ridgway also expressed hope that sharing his and his wife’s story would shed light on what he believes is a common occurrence. “The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT,” he added. “I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1432685/jesse-ridgway-ashley-ridgway-end-pregnancy-over-down-syndrome-diagnosis
