12 Year Old speaks out on abortion





While Lia didn't win the regional contest, her speech saved an unborn baby's life.

¹⁸"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. ¹⁹If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

John 15:18-19

I'm praying for her, that she will have the strength continue sharing her powerful message. We are told that because we are not of this world, we will be hated by it. We can draw comfort from the fact that we are chosen out of this world, but its still tough to be hated when you are 12, and especially when you go to a public school.
