topic of the day: abortion and a 12 year old's diagnosis

just watched a youtube.com video of a 12 year old girl giving a speech on the horrors of abortion. she didn't outright say that it should be illegal, but she made interesting arguments on reasons why women should not have abortions. she had even brought up statistics on the % of abortions that are performed in cases of incest, rape, or endangering the mother's life. i have to say, for a 12 year old, she gave an excellent speech. of course, they had to disable the commenting feature after many youtuber's made inappropriate comments, but they made sure to keep all the positive comments first.

i only have two actual critiques on the video, though.
1) she's 12. had this been a woman who has either had sex or had an abortion, she would have been able to carry a little more weight. the fact that she hasn't, i assume, had sex yet, gives her less credibility, in my eyes. hopefully, she's never even had to make a decision about sex. on top of that, she hasn't got her driver's license, voted, drank alcohol, stripped for a ride home, or mainlined drugs yet. once she does at least two of those things, i'll be a little more open.

2) she's making some crazy ass bold comments about the effects of abortion on a woman's body.
BREAST CANCER: that crazy little pro-life statistician claims that abortion causes breast cancer. this is a true theory, however, the american cancer society and the national cancer institute have both concluded that there is no association between having a no abortion and developing breast cancer.
MOOD DISORDERS: here's why i think this is kind of silly. first, throw a rock in any direction and you're most likely to hit at least one person that has a diagnosable mood disorder (depression, social anxiety, bi-polar, all the favorites). who's to say that either it wasn't a pre-existing condition, or that they already had a little bit of crazy in them, just like the rest of us.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE: (see "MOOD DISORDERS". same response applies here.)
REGRET: this one is silly because i don't remember there being new legislation based on what the nation's citizens may regret. if that's the case, i think krispy kreme and steak n'shake cheese fries need to be illegal. mmmm. so good, but yet sooo bad.

Then, she goes on and on about how "abortion leaves women feeling lost and uncertain about their future." ummm. please see my point about her being 12 and not having mainlined drugs. she probably hasn't even freebased. anyways, i give her credit for being a good speaker, but i'd bet my left kidney she's not a great listener, except maybe to her parents, church and friends. i give her credit for not citing jesus or his merry men, but her real message: screw scientists and doctors. they don't know shit.
