The middle schooler asked lawmakers: 'If a man decides that I’m an object, and does unspeakable, tragic things to me, am I, a child, supposed to carry and birth another child?'
She then urged the legislature to reconsider, saying: 'Some here say they are pro-life. What about my life? Does my life not matter to you?'
Rita Ray, an 80-year -old woman who had an abortion in 1959, 14 years before terminations were deemed a constitutional right, looked on as Gardner spoke

That includes support in getting an abortion, should they ever need to.
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.
No one is saying she should be a mother?
Yes the moment a child gets their period they have become a mother and forcing a child to become a mother isn’t right.
Having periods doesn't make you 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.

The average abortion isn't from a 12 year old girl
@@InsaneCopePosse besides, it doesn’t matter if it’s uncommon, it still happens. There’s been girls younger than 12 who get pregnant and are denied abortion care. Which is WRONG, regardless of your age.
Why is this extreme case being used to decide on a ver specific case. And yes, as bad as it sounds in our culture, teenagers having babies is not the end of their world. But the end of another child's world. What they would need is a very rigid system to support their journey and development through that experience.

Birth is the emergence of the child from its mother's body - it's the essential end phase of pregnancy.
Abortion is the forced birth of a dead or dying child, and it's inherently risky for the mother, as well as deadly for the child...It's not the 'get out of jail free card' that people make it out to be.
@@staystrong4309you supporting child abuse causing further trauma to the child makes you as bad as the sick pervert who put the child in that situation shame on you
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.

@@jamesthompson9003 Yes i agree that no 12 yr old should ever go through that but killing the baby isn't the solution in that case and to answer your other question the morning after pill doesn't end the life of another human being because its taken before fertilization.
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.
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.
Pro life stance is very clear. It does not matter how the little being came into existence, it is here now and a member of our species and therefore entitled to the same fundamental human right as the rest of us. Life.
@@elizabeth.601but what about the child who is being forced to carry out the pregnancy?

I'm pro choice, it's none of my business whether someone has one
R*pe isn't the only reason
@@wooshydogFirst if there is a higher chance that the person will die when giving birth I believe they should have a choice in that case. Second “the kid carrying the child has the right to childhood as well” implies you would believe abortion is wrong as you are saying both have a right to childhood. The girl would still have a right to childhood as there are options such as adoption or the parents taking care of the child.
It's absolute madness, what gives anyone the right to tell someone else how to live, its disgraceful on another level.
Or how to die. Thank you for this pro life argument…
Does this count on other topics also, or just on the ones that you deem to be the "right" topics? Just wondering.
I agree, that's why I don't consider anyone should have the right to decide if that fetus can live or not.
And yes, the fetus is alive and a human being, by aborting him you are killing him and denying him life.
@Esphaeras Praestans should your life be on the hands of others deciding if you have to live or not?
Note: you can't decide yourself, so if others decide you have to die you can't complain ;)

Vaginas don't have magical properties that gives humans life; life begins at conception.
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
You are missing the fact that the unborn child will have the rest of their life ruined if they are killed.
@@MicahOttley It won't be "ruined," it just won't exist. You can't ruin something if it never existed.
The life of the twelve-year-old, on the other hand, is definitely something that can be ruined, as it not only exists but belongs to a real person with thoughts as well as emotions, a voice to be heard and a will of their own.
People who are “pro-life” fail to look at the reality of things. We don’t live in a perfect world.
So some people shouldn't have human rights? 🥴
@@aidanaldrich7795 no, everyone should have human rights. Taking people rights away is what “pro-life” does.
@@aidanaldrich7795 btw a fetus is not a person, until it has consciousness. Around 24 weeks . The stage of pregnancy for abortions are to an abortion is around 22 weeks or less. Abortions later than this are only performed in certain medical circumstances, and not just because someone decides to get one.
@@aidanaldrich7795 also think a 12 year old has the human right to decide not to be pregnant and give birth.
I think laws that force children to give birth are disgusting and wrong.
@@Specogecko The only consistent definition of a human being is a living homosapien with the capacity to be conscious. That includes unborn children 😁
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?
Banning abortion will definitely lead to less abortions. How much less is still a question but the numbers will not be the same. Why do democrats always play dumb.
It's not a ban on abortion, it isn't even just about the abortion. The federal government is not meant to have certain powers over all states, the purpose of federal government is to answer to the states and have few and limited powers.
The overturning of roevwade is returning the power of said law to the states and allowing constituents to organize according to the states that fit their freedoms.
To put the full-force of the law on the side of righteousness. If half the country has to get thrown in prison to save one innocent life so be it. Since 1973 63 million children have been killed. Ask yourself how long did you realistically think that was going to last?
The purpose is that the states must represent the will of the majority of the voters of that state or be forced out if office. That is how democracy works.
Yes it does. Uruguay legalized abortion in 2012. Every year since, they number of abortions has increased. The same thing happened in 1973 when abortion was legalized in the U.S. There were more abortions performed in 1975 than in 1974 etc.
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.
Don't be so sure. "Medical emergency" is a vague term, and many forced pregnancy advocates wouldn't deem a 12-year-old's pregnancy as an emergency. The tragic case of the 10yo girl in Ohio showed exactly this.
@@roachums123 Had they contact the authorities in Ohio, the young girl victim would have been covered under the state's life of the mother exception. The AG of the state said the very same thing and up until weeks after the abortion, the crime itself was not reported to Ohio authorities.
@@roachums123 Name one 'forced birther' in a position of power than can affect laws/legislation? Please, just one.
Treatment for ectopic pregnancy does not require an abortion.
@@wordforever117 I'm not knowledgeable about ectopic also spelled 'corner case' for the pro aborts, about how it works. But certainly, something like this, women need to have options on what to do including abortion.
Pro-choice❤️❤️❤️
That includes unnecessary vaccines too doesn't it?
Pro-choice 🤮🤮🤮
You are able to legally force a man to support his unwanted child, while being able to unilaterally decide on an abortion. Woman get to choose the outcome of reproductive for themselves and for the men involved. Men cant choose want to do with their reality of fatherhood. To be clear, there is nothing "pro choice" about that.
@@fredleinweber2819Whats an "unnecessary" vaccine?
Evil.
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 completely agree. I am absolutely disgusted by our world
My question to pro lifers would be how does anything anyone does with their ife affect you in any way.
@@vincentwilliams2314 and as if we aren't populated more than ever and children are in foster care, abusive households or out on the streets starving. they care about "children" before birth but after birth they could care less.

So we should ban child support if abortion is legal . There's no point to force the man into parenthood if the woman can simply abort it.
@@madmouse4400 Forcing men or women into parenthood is a separate issue from forced pregnancy.
We live in a country wher
1. You have to be 16 to drive a car
2. 21 to drink alcohol
And you think a 12 year old has the maturity level to decide?
Lol
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.
I wish most people would understand this
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.
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.
Because you’re killing a living human being when you make that decision
*unconcious@@cherrypop6673
Stop with the men telling women what to do narrative. It is false because many many women are pro life and many men are pro choice. Also it is not saying what you HAVE to do. It is saying one very specific thing (abortion) which you CANNOT do. Very disingenious

@@cherrypop6673please define "human being" dear ?🤔
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.
They support the fetus because there’s a chance that it’s going to be a male.
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.
No ban makes sense to me.
Says no one ever!

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

How would pro life not be banning abortion completely? The embryo, fetus, baby, etc. is a LIFE throughout all 9 months of pregnancy. So being pro life is protecting that life throughout the whole 9 months.

Why would a child get pregnant in the first place?
Creepy adults...
Promiscuity and bad parenting.
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.
Thank you for actually being a smart conservative

Who cares. She's right
@@GiordanDiodato No. Murdering babies because they're 'inconvenient' is sick and disgusting.
@@michaal105 forcing literal children to go through childbirth is also sick and disgusting, especially if the child is aware and conscious
@@michaal105 Someone speaking facts
@@whatever5401 Children smashing at 12 is wild, where are the parents you might ask?
Then you become a child who has made a decision to become a a child murderer......
she should rather be forced to give birth and probably die in the process?
Its not pro life its anti-woman that is it
Boooooooooooooo
next month is the celebration of Roe Vs. Wade. Oh yeah baby. I will be collecting tears.
Thank you
HOW DARE YOU ????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
Stop having 12 year olds talk politics
I said what I said
if they're too young to talk politics why is she old enough to be a mother?
because she was old enough to create that baby unless Shes a victim of assault i don't see why she shouldn't take accountability@@user-oc6yj8tu6p
@@combos7Tell me what world you live in where a twelve year old can take care and raise a baby.
F**king right!
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.
Both children born and unborn should have human rights
@@aidanaldrich7795 are you calling a seed a tree? Do you cut seeds down for lumber? Calling a cell a whole baby with a mouth to feed is like loggers chopping seeds down. Zygote is not quite human yet. A seed is not quite a tree. Are you a man? I ask because mothers can feel the difference. A third trimester, fully formed bladder stomping baby is not the same as a first trimester zygote.
why a 12 year old thinking about abortion? should she be at school studying?
Because Republicans is forcing a 10 year old to be a Parent!!
Seriously, who thinks about abortion at the age of 12? Something went seriously wrong with her parenting.
Why shouldn't she? The average girl has her period sometime between age 8 and age 13....
@@Eldeecue great point
What if the woman is r4ped (or a child) that’s not choice. A 8 year old should not have to give birth. Also the abortion is painless for the child. What is the child would die painfully after th e birth anyway, or the mother would?
Unfortunately she is in the wrong state.
no she isnt
