Look, because cutting our health care, taking away our freedom to control our bodies – the freedom to become a mother through I.V.F., like I did – those things are not going to improve the health outcomes of our wives, mothers and daughters. Shutting down the Department of Education, banning our books – none of that will prepare our kids for the future. Demonizing our children for being who they are and loving who they love, look, that doesn’t make anybody’s life better. Instead, instead, it only makes us small. And let me tell you this: Going small is never the answer. Going small is the opposite of what we teach our kids. Going small is petty. It’s unhealthy, and quite frankly, it’s unpresidential.
