YouTuber and filmmaker Jesse Ridgway revealed this week that he and his wife, Ashley, ended a pregnancy thus killing an unborn baby after learning their child had been diagnosed with Trisomy 21, commonly known as Down Syndrome.

In a statement posted to X, Ridgway said the couple received the diagnosis during the pregnancy and spent time considering how to move forward. He said the decision was difficult and had a major impact on both of them, but finally she would end up getting an abortion.
