This video was created by a former Defending the Faith student of mine. She is a 15 y/o young lady who is passionate about speaking out against abortion.
Kuddos to Alyssa for speaking out with such grace and creativity! This is just one of the ways in which my students are boldly serving up God's Word with grace and humor! Come join them with Defending the Faith online classes too!

It is an excellent speech using not only good debate points but she is gracious in doing so. I love the ending as she quotes from Horton Hears a Who, "After all, a person's a person no matter how small!"
