Wow – the story from Lifesite is quite illuminating. Imagine that many adults telling a 12 year old that her topic is off-limits and that she will be disqualified. Kudos for her for having such courage of her convictions! I hope she wins in the next round as well – I am sending her speech to some pro-choice friends.
Actually, she saved a baby, as someone said in the comments of her video!!! But, well, she could not win the competition. You know… It was a “too controversial” speech, so… No prize for her. But she told she did not mind about it! Cute. See here: http://bound4life.com/blog/2009/02/06/y-o-p-p#updates
