This has been going around the blogosphere and with good reason.....an amazing story about a very brave 12-year old and her school speech on abortion. We need more young and older people like her!!
Lia entered this presentation in her school's speech competition. At first, she was told by the school administration that if she entered this speech, she would not be allowed in the speech competition. Despite this, Lia persevered and decided to take her chances. At the school-wide competition, one pro-choice teacher, on the judge's panel, would not even listen to her speech. And even though Lia's speech was well-received by the students and faculty, it was disqualified by the judges. Evidently, upon this decision, controversy ensued among the judges and in the end the panel agreed that Lia had won the competition. We need more Lia's in our legislative bodies who have the passion and courage she does to stand up for life. God bless her! Read the full story here.


Thanks to Jessica, I watched this BEAUTIFUL video called The Holy Sacrifice...and one of our favorite priests and family friends, Father Cihak, is in it!! Definitely worth a watch.
