An un-named 12 year-old girl has become a hit on YouTube because of the simplicity and eloquence with which she explains the tragedy of abortion.
“Every day, 115,000 are dying through abortion… a hundred and fifteen thousand! That means that 5,000 children will die every hour. That means all those lives, gone! All that potential, gone! And all that hope in the future gone!” says the young girl, reading from a script and very naturally addressing the camera.
In her presentation, the young girl summarizes the pro-life counter arguments to most of the pro-abortion objections, including the usually ignored fact of Post Abortion Syndrome.
"My daughter prepared and delivered this speech for her grade 7 class. Even those who didn't agree with her loved it,” writes the anonymous poster of the video.
But after 403 comments, she had to turn off the comment function for the video.
“This was not to stop genuine discussion or debate on the issue but was, rather, a response to the cowardly who used it as an opportunity to throw insults and threats at a young girl that they hated without reason."
