Tru overcame chronic lung disease, two battles with necrotizing enterocolitis (a disease that affects the intestines of preemies), two blood clots, sepsis, staphylococcus, a congenital heart defect, retinopathy, and MRSA, among others.

Tears came to her mother&#8217;s eyes as a smile spread across her face in that moment. Tru\u00a0proved to be feisty from the start, refusing to keep her arm under the blanket and pushing her mother&#8217;s hand away while she slept.<\/p>\n<p>On day 33 after birth, Tru became very sick. But she fought hard and bounced back. She grew healthier and stronger with each day. On day 54 after birth, her father was able to cuddle her for the first time &#8212; an emotional moment. By day 71, she was finally able to be moved out of the incubator and into a crib, and on day 86, she experienced her first real bath. After 131 days in the hospital, baby Tru went home.

An <em>80 percent rate of survival<\/em>, yet our society accepts killing them before they can take their first breaths outside the womb. In abortions this late, these preborn babies&#8217; hearts are stopped and their mothers deliver stillborn children.
