Influencer Jesse Ridgway says he’s glad he didn’t have an abortion: ‘I’m normal’

YouTuber Jesse Ridgway doesn’t back down from the abortion storm surrounding his family… rejecting claims that his own life proves that he and his wife Ashley made the wrong decision not to carry their unborn child to term.

The influencer — aka McJuggerNuggets — addressed the controversy during a lengthy live stream Saturday, where he appeared to respond to people who spent days attacking the couple online over their decision to terminate a pregnancy after learning their unborn baby had Down syndrome.

Towards the end of the stream, Jesse took aim at an argument he’s seen repeatedly… saying, “I’m glad my dad didn’t kick me out, but I’m normal.”

There has been intense debate on social media since they first revealed they had terminated their pregnancy after prenatal tests showed their unborn child had Down syndrome, also known as Down syndrome.

As we reported, the couple said the decision was only made after lengthy conversations…and they described the experience as heartbreaking, insisting it was not a choice they made lightly.

Yet the announcement sparked an immediate backlash online… with critics flooding the couple’s pages with angry comments. Jesse revealed that they were receiving death threats people were furious about their decision, and they said on “TMZ Live” that the harassment had gotten so bad that they were taking additional action safety precautions at home — like sleeping with a gun nearby.

The criticism continues to pour in, but Jesse shows no signs of questioning the decision.
