Children shouldn’t birth children.

Based on the comments, this girl is too young to be talking about this while at the same time, old enough to become a mother. Hmm...Interesting.

Pro-life people will claim she’s too young to be talking about this…. But somehow she’s old enough to give birth and become a mother?

To all the people angry about a 12 y.o. talking about this issue: You think that if she got pregnant(which she definitely can at that age) she should be forced to suffer through birth and take care of a human child, but she shouldn't be able to talk about this issue because she is too young.

No child should be abused, imprison the perpetrator.

No 12 year old should have to go through child birth.

The Legislature: "This child shouldnt be here! She's needs to stay a child and stay out of grown folk's business!" Same Legislature: "A 12 year old child is perfectly capable of being pregnant and being a mother!"

It’s funny how conservatives are so disturbed by a 12 year old speaking on this, but those same people are voting for people who pass the policies that are the reason she is at the most risk of ruining her life.

And this is my argument against pro-lifers. They always talk about women ‘sleeping around’ and fail to remember the ones who were forced to do so.

People who are “pro-life” fail to look at the reality of things. We don’t live in a perfect world.

Those against the 12y/o in the video are missing the fact that she isn't even a teenager and would have the rest of her adolescence ruined by a choice set by much older people. She wouldn't be able to vote against it for years to come, and she's speaking out about this now. Religion or age-old conservative values shouldn't be used to justify all the nonsense you are spouting. I wouldn't want my sister or cousins to be left out on a crucial decision and neither should you with yours

Child: "I want to adopt a baby!" "No you’re too young" Child: "I was r@ped I need an abortion!" "No you’re going to give birth to the baby abortion is illegal"

that girl has a right to decide if not go to another country have it done our country is messed up by Republicans.

Even if she does give the kid to adoption, premature birthing can really damage the body. (Yes, I know the definition of Premature birth isn't that, but I mean a Minor giving birth)

It's absolute madness, what gives anyone the right to tell someone else how to live, its disgraceful on another level.

You go sister. Exactly my point. My body my choice. END OF DISCUSSION.

Thank you young lady for giving me hope for my home state. Sometimes all I see anymore in that state is racism and pure ignorance so you are refreshing.

I might upset someone by saying this, but I will take the chance… From other countries we know that banning abortions doesn’t lead to fewer abortions. So what is the purpose of many US states going this way? What is the expectation?

I think a 12 yr old shouldn’t be forced to give birth to a child, instead of banning abortion they should’ve first made cps more strict and actually do their job and made r4p3 sentences higher and more things that could prevent r4p3, especially when it comes to csa, it’s crazy how they suddenly act like they care wether children are being murdered or not when csa, school shooting, child trafficking and so much more is so common, they didn’t solve the full problem just skipped to one part which causes bigger problems

From the proposed law. The bill provides exceptions for an ectopic pregnancy, a “nonmedically viable fetus” or a medical emergency. I'd say if a 12 year old child gets attacked and is made pregnant, that should definitely be covered under a medical emergency.

A ban based on consent makes sense to me. If the woman has not consented to pregnancy then she should have the right to mitigate any possible damages to her body or well being. Her body is her property. She should, by law , restored to the state she was in before becoming pregnant. If the state denies her this resorative right, then she should be entitled to punitive damages caused by the state. Say 5 or 10 million dollars.

Lesson of the day: the term should probably be Pro-Newborn life.

“Does my life not matter to you?”

We must protect this pupil

Fyi, a 13 year-old has now given birth as a direct result of the abortion ban!

Republicans after banning abortion and healthcare without any restriction on gun laws And then calls themselves Pro Life ✨✨✨

Where Can i see the rest of the video ?

Truth , unfortunately I live in Kansas and the religious people have taken over.

My response to her would be, "How would the guy manage to do that in the first place?" They seem more concerned about the reactive approach than a proactive one.

I wish you well and all children and future generations, there are people like myself standing up.... were unseen though.

I love this person is so amazing. She points out everything important. But why should a group of old men in the government decide what a girl can and can't do with her body.

The man in the example should be the one worried about life, not the perfect baby.

This is why pro choice is the only choice. You can debate back and forth all day till the cows come home but it doesn’t change the fact that there are too many variables to consider when a female is seeking an abortion. It could be because she was sexually assaulted, it could be because medically she cannot have the baby, it could be because she knows she’s not mentally ready to have a child. The list goes on and on. The argument of the fetus being a life that should be able to decide its own fate directly contradicts you taking away the mother’s right to have a say so over her own life. No one is asking anyone to agree with abortion. Everyone gets to have their own opinions and beliefs about the topic, however your opinion and beliefs should not dictate what the person next to you does with their life. There are too many children who are in foster homes, killed by their parents or abused or neglected on a daily basis for people to sit around and be disingenuous in their conversations. There are too many school shootings with no realistic gun control for people to keep talking about how abortions are the thing we should focus on when it comes to kids. If you don’t believe in abortion great don’t have one but you shouldn’t have the power to then tell every other woman that she also shouldn’t have the choice to decide what’s best for her. And if you believe that there should be laws in place to prevent abortion then you will need to sign contracts with every woman who wanted or needed an abortion and could not get one where you pledge to take care of that baby for the rest of its life if the mother can’t or doesn’t want to.

I truly dont understand the concept of choosing an unborn baby over an already living human being. A baby isn't alive untilit'ss bor. A mother is alive and should be given the right to decide whether or not she wants her life to be changed forever. Especially if she's under 18.

That girl is brilliant!

I thought I knew what pro life was ( I am pro life by the way) till I saw the laws in the USA. I am appalled. In my country pro life is mainly like restricting abortion after a certain period or something not banning it.

Pro-choice❤️❤️❤️

That's EXTREMELY rare for girl 12 or younger to have children anyways. If it causes her health issues, then I think terminating a pregnancy may be necessary. However again, that would be a RARE situation. Cases like this hardly figure into 97-99% of abortions which are done for Social-economic reasons or personal choice.

Your body your choice 👍👍

You wouldn't call a seed a tree. If the only thing you can say is "what about the innocent baby" ? No one asks about the girl/woman carrying it. The youngest mother in the world was 5 years old.

I love the comments of people thinking an unborn child is a person Let me clarify the dictionary definition of what a person in fact is..... A person is the kind of entity that has the moral right to make its own life-choices, to live its life without (unprovoked) interference from others. An unborn child can't do those things hence not a person.

This is heartbreaking.

Right wing American politicians are truly messed up.

She calls herself a child then talks abt getting pregnant that’s not right

Very nice script from the left

Why we vote. Voting has consequences!

funny cuz y’all take things like this and use it to say “any woman should be able to abort at any time” bruh ain’t we talkin bout 12 year olds? no. unfortunately we’re not.

She’s right. If Trump and the new Republican Party wins, the government interference and restriction nightmare that women in Texas and Alabama are going through will be NATIONWIDE. Vote.

Wow you guys trained a little girl to argue your battles for you. So impressive 😂 I pray for that little girl

Right. Why predators should be held accountable.

I expect great things from this fierce tiny powerhouse ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🗽

Of course her life is important. Most pro-lifers understand that if a mother's body is unable to safely deliver the child, then we should act to save at least one life. There is an exception for life or health in most every abortion ban.

And France put the right of abortion into their constitution.

They blur out children who are victimized. To have explained this to a 12 year old as though this is the world she'll be inheriting, I wonder when child endangerment begins.

where are her parents

Does the morning after pill work?

Yay! The Greta of Pro Choice! Articulate and spot on!!!! 💚

How often are 12yo getting pregnant?

Very brave, it’s tragic politicians by their believes rather than common sense

I miss when not using children in politics was a bipartisan issue.

Well,even as a "conservative" i must agree in these cases

YES you are child

A woman’s choice, at any age of her reproductive life, is no one’s business, but her’s, her doctor’s and God’s business. Everyone else stay out of it!

Yes.

Outlier cases... This is the dumbest argument ever.

Way to go girl!!!

Depends, if your willing to accept then yes it’s your problem, but if you get forcibly pregnant than yes abortion

The person who put this tragedy forward needs to be jailed.

Why when people introduce themselves why do they talk about the sports they do?

12 and pregnant?

It is unthinkable that they passed this bill!!!

True ✨

I doubt she wrote this. Her parents are probably just using her to brag to their friends.

Pro-choice❤️

At 12 I used to play with DOLLS... My first boyfriend was at 18. STOP IT.

Oh gosh

Your soul is far more precious young lady. America is becoming like the Soviet Union, what a transformation, what a tragedy.

I’m a conservative, and pro-life. But anyone who believes a child who was 🍇, should have to carry the baby to full term and have the child, is a sick individual. The child that suffered that trauma should not be forced to endure and live out more trauma that a birth would cause her. There’s a line that must be drawn, and we should most certainly draw it in a case such these.

Parents should have protected her.

next month is the celebration of Roe Vs. Wade. Oh yeah baby. I will be collecting tears.

Yes yes you are. I'm not joking seriosly

No child nor no adults should live a sexually promiscuous life either.

She definitely wrote this herself.

Well we have different punishment for adults and kids why can't same be applicable on Abortion.

Thank you

13 years ago a 12 year old girl named Lia spoke about abortion and how it was wrong . Why wasn't ppl questioning who wrote her speech and why was she at 12 talking about why it was wrong. And yes ALL her speeches are here on KZfaq

It's not the babies fault tho

The baby is not the perpetrator, the impregator is. Why not propose doing something to the abuser, rather than the innocent victim(s) that was created from the abuse?

Yes, you are a child! Don’t get pregnant

“My body my choice”

Brave intelligent girl

😳

So awesome!!! ⭐️

2 Samuel 11:5 “And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.”

Well kid dont be going around doing things you shouldn't point made period.

AMEN!

Why would a child get pregnant in the first place?

Move to another state

In this case she can abort but i still wouldnt if i was her

We shouldnt direct policies to the extreme cases.
