In an X post that has garnered almost 20 million views and 15,800 replies, Jesse Ridgway (known as "McJuggerNuggets") related that he and his wife's decision to go through with an abortion after learning from an amniocentesis test that their unborn child likely has Down syndrome was "very difficult" and "was not made lightly." Ridgway cited numerous health challenges that people with Down syndrome experience, including heart defects, hearing problems, impaired immune systems, and more. He also noted that 90% of pregnant women who learn that their child may have Trisomy 21 go through with an abortion.
