Brittany Hruska talked about her mom choosing life after being encouraged to abort her. Hruska said for the past 17 years she’s specialized in the NICU. She discussed babies who are born too soon to survive.
“I’ve seen babies born younger. These babies are too young for modern medicine to save,” she said. “This does not stop them from fighting to live. It doesn’t stop little mouths from trying to cry, little arms from waving, little legs from kicking and little hearts from beating as long as they can. I have helped hold these babies in their final moments. I have handed them to their mothers for their last breath. Watching someone so small and so innocent leave this world is heart-wrenching. I can’t imagine anyone ever intentionally hurting them. They feel everything more intensely than we do because they are premature. I know these babies well. Every baby deserves not only life, but to be protected against violence acts to end their life. I’ve never questioned their humanity, but I do question ours.”
