"Shouting Her Down"

A precocious 13-year-old girl stood up and told the Raleigh, NC City Council something they should hear, and those against what she was supporting shouted her down. What she supported is “pro-life.” One of the very moving parts of her speech was when she told those assembled that a child, being aborted while on an ultra sound “shied away” from the instruments that were killing it. That its mouth was open wide, obviously screaming as it felt the PAIN of the abortion. Apparently, that was too much for the baby-killers in the audience, and they screamed insults and some of the nastiest words I’ve ever heard; words a pretty young girl should never have to hear. One cop even had to remove one insulting woman who tried to take a camera away from a man filming the proceedings, and gave him the finger. Apparently, they just don’t think people who oppose their ideas have the right to speak, at whatever age—unless that child supports things they also support, like gun control. The mayor pro tem shut them up, reminding them that all persons have the right to speak their minds, even if they are a little young. Especially if they have a reasoned message. (Conservative Tribune)
