I just don't see how a child who has hardly reached puberty can realy comment on this situation at all. Personaly i think it's a bit irresponsible on the parent's behalf, this child doesn't sound like she knows anything about the world outside of her own. While she may be articulate (perhaps to her own credit and perhaps not) Let her live a little. Let her grow up a little. Then let her make her own descision and broadcast this speech without adult internet supervision. Thanks, that's all.

She didn't write this herself, did she.

12-year old Lia dared to speak out on her advocacy despite expected negative reactions.

This child seems more articulate and more logical than many adults.

12-year-old steals day with pro-life speech Teachers threaten disqualification, but girl chooses to speak against abortion Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit.“What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?” the seventh-grader begins in a video recording of her speech on YouTube. “What if I told you that this choice wasn’t based on what you could or couldn’t do, what you’d done in the past or what you would do in the future? And what if I told you, you could do nothing about it?”The girl, a student at a Toronto school identified only as “Lia,” continued:“Fellow students and teachers, thousands of children are right now in that very situation. Someone is choosing without even knowing them whether they are going to live or die.“That someone is their mother. And that choice is abortion.”

My daughter prepared and delivered this speech for her grade 7 class. Even those who didn't agree with her loved it.
