A 12-year-old girl’s opinion on abortion
Posted on February 10, 2009
When I clicked play to begin watching this video, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. I figured it would be some middle-school girl talking about God, regurgitating her parents’ opinions. For most young kids, that’s all they’re doing when they talk about hot-button topics like abortion — repeating what they’ve heard. Sometimes, though, the child speaking is so knowledgeable, with so much passion and conviction in their eyes and in their voice, it’s obvious that they did this on their own. I’m convinced that this girl took the time to do her own research and wrote the speech herself.
I was stunned at how good this video is. This little girl, a seventh grader, spoke so eloquently and so convincingly on a topic that many adults can’t clearly articulate their feelings about. Abortion is one of this issues that dredges up passionate feelings, but they’re not always easily articulated. This girl did it with no problem. And she was thorough. She didn’t stick to the “it’s wrooooong” argument, but gave many valid, factual arguments on why abortion should not be legal.
Watch this video. It’s a little long, but still — prepare to be impressed.

What’s even better than the fact that this young lady dropped this on to You Tube is that it sounds like she is going to give this speech to other kids as part of class assignment. I am interested to know if she was going to deliver this at a government school…and if she already has, how it went. This sounds like one of those speeches that a dim-witted union teacher would attempt to censor. Would love to get that case.
Outstanding!
If only everyone was like this girl, we’d have a other issues to worry about in our society, but the sad fact of abortion remains a part of our every day life. This girl has probably directly impacted mothers not to abort and is a hero and inspiration to everyone, especially those who believe in God.
absolutely amazing. God has a big call on this little girls life.
