@LittleLobbyists Let’s talk about choosing LIFE, Senator Cruz.

Let’s start with getting a catastrophic diagnosis at 22 weeks. Let’s look at numbers like 5% survival to age five. Let’s look at a life of surgeries and intense medical need.

Here is that life. We chose life.

@LittleLobbyists Now let’s talk about giving up my career & small business because my child, for whom we chose life, needs intense and constant care. Every milliliter she eats & every gram she urinates gets monitored.

This is that life. Every single day, sleeping 30 min at a time, we chose life.

@LittleLobbyists Now let’s talk about knowing your child can’t survive without major open heart surgery. Let’s talk about leaving your home behind to go across the country for the best chance & selecting the surgeon that will cut into your child heart.

Here is that life. We still choose life.

@LittleLobbyists Now let’s talk about medical bills that are more than you’ll make in a lifetime. Medications that cost more than your mortgage. Doctors visits that exceed your grocery budget.

Let’s talk about the price tag of choosing life.

But here is that life. We are still choosing life.

@LittleLobbyists NOW, Sen. Cruz, let’s talk about Congress. A Congress who openly aspires to take away what makes that life possible; the surgery & the medication being covered by insurance with no caps, no exclusion of preexisting conditions, and mandatory coverage of essential health benefits.

@LittleLobbyists HERE IS THAT LIFE, TED CRUZ.

Here is that life you DO NOT FIGHT FOR.

Here is the life you FOUGHT AGAINST.

Here is the life you do not value because she’s been born.

You DO NOT fight for life, Senator Cruz. You fight for BIRTH.

I fight for life. Her life. Every. Damn. Day.
