YouTuber Jesse Ridgeway and wife made difficult decision to terminate pregnancy after Down syndrome diagnosis came out and it was a gut punch, okay, when this story came out. So gut punch for them. So here's the story, okay? This was the baby of the YouTuber that apparently came out and they found out. And Rob, Vinny, were they at first celebrating? Just to remind them why they actually ended their pregnancy, explaining why in a serious post on YouTube, is this the video of them?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:57)
This is them celebrating.

**Tom** (0:59)
They found out that they were pregnant.

**Pat** (1:01)
So this is them finding out they were pregnant, not that they know the kid's down syndrome. Okay, go for it, go ahead.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:05)
Okay, read that. There's a faint line right there.

**Tom** (1:07)
Where's the instruction?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:08)
Okay, okay, okay.

**Tom** (1:09)
Why is this complex?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:10)
Where's the like pregnant, not pregnant one? So positive, two strong lines or a strong line and a faint line. My neck is positive, Jess.
Right?

**Tom** (1:30)
Dang, it is.

**Vinny** (1:31)
What have you done?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:32)
I don't know.

**Pat** (1:34)
So what, this is just a prank.

**Vinny** (1:35)
This is them, no, this is them finding out, yeah, they're finding out that she's pregnant.

**Pat** (1:40)
So what happens next week?

**Vinny** (1:41)
And then, so there's a video, Robbie. This is them, Pat. I don't know what app he's using, I'm sorry, what results he's getting, like, how the doctors are sending it, but this is them finding out that the kid has Down syndrome. Not that it's, like, dying and it's something bad, it just has Down syndrome.

**Pat** (1:57)
Go ahead.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:58)
I thought we were going to see the result.

**Vinny** (1:59)
I have to download the official report.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:01)
Abnormal Insight Result. Consistent with Trisomy 21

**SPEAKER_2** (2:07)
No. What is it?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:08)
Wait. Why are you saying this?
Let me see.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:14)
I can't.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:15)
I can't see it. It says, Abnormal Insight Result. Valuet showed three chromosome 21 signals. Consistent with Trisomy 21 Down syndrome.
Genetic counseling is recommended.

**Adam** (2:32)
Pattern consistent with Trisomy 21

**Vinny** (2:38)
Okay.

**Pat** (2:39)
By the way, that's super tough.

**Vinny** (2:40)
That's very, very tough, Pat.

**Pat** (2:43)
And they announced right there on the video?

**Vinny** (2:45)
Because there was an ultrasound video, Pat, when she started getting to the point, you know, you can see the baby in the womb, which is, you know, which they were, you know, that was the baby in there, you know. Healthy, other than just having Down syndrome. And like, Pat, here's my opinion. I know you guys are going to have yours. It's, they're, they admitted making the decision that it was, it was going to be an inconvenience, or they didn't want to deal with the responsibility that comes with raising a child with Down syndrome. And look, I criticize all these IRL, clavicular, all these people, because it's not my kind of content, but this is something different. To record yourself getting the diagnosis, talking about it publicly, then deciding to end, to kill that baby's life, to me, it's, it's, it's horrific to me. To me, this is my opinion, Vincent O'Shauna's opinion. It's, it's selfish, it's horrific. 67% to 85% of pregnancies in the United States with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted. That's not, listen to me, God does not make mistakes. Every single life has value. Every single one, okay? The Bible in Psalm 139, Tommy, and you talked about this before, for you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. That means God formed this child, okay? And loved that child before he was even born. A baby with Down syndrome is not a mistake, okay? That child is still fearfully and wonderfully made in the eyes of God, okay? Maybe, let's just say, maybe, because nobody knows the plan, Pat. Maybe that child would have been the greatest blessing that these two streamers could have ever received. Maybe God was going to work through them to soften their hearts, strengthen their freaking marriage, inspire other families, Pat, that are dealing with this same thing. Instead, this child is never going to get a chance to breathe. I don't know if they already had the abortion, Rob, but they chose the fate of that child, okay? And I know people with Down syndrome, Pat. You know my best friend Artie. He's Armenian. He has Down syndrome. He is one of the happiest, loving, never upset, affectionate, pure-hearted people I've ever seen in my life. And by the way, this goes to every single kid with Down syndrome that I've seen, Pat. They're freaking happy. Here's a quick video, guys, of me with my friend Artie. I'm basically introducing him for the first time to his Michael Jackson in the Armenian community. His name is Harut Babujan. Look at the happiness in this kid. Go ahead, Rob. Who's your best friend in the whole world? Who's your best friend? Who's your favorite singer of all? Harut, right? All right, open that door. Let's go inside.
