‘What about my life?’: Girl, 12, makes impassioned speech in defense of abortion in front of West Virginia legislature saying ‘if a man does unspeakable things to me am I to birth another child?’

A 12-year-old gave a speech at the West Virginia House of Delegates on Wednesday in opposition to new legislation outlawing abortion in the state.

She spoke as the House passed a bill to ban abortion in the state, where it's currently legal up to 20 weeks, allowing for limited exemptions for medical emergencies and complications but not for rape or incest.

'I play for varsity volleyball and I run track. My education is very important to me, and I plan on doing great things in life,' Buffalo Middle School student Addison Gardner told lawmakers during a special session.

'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 added: 'Am I to put my body through the physical trauma of pregnancy? Am I to suffer the mental implications, a child who had no say in what was being done with my body?' she added, according to The Independent.

'Some here say they are pro-life. What about my life? Does my life not matter to you?'

Gardner was one of about 90 people who spoke in the public hearing, sharing their personal stories about abortion or women's rights ahead of the chamber passing a law to ban it.

The session became heated, with security escorting out many female members speaking at the hearing.

Listen up Addison Gardner, of Buffalo Middle School my name is Morgana and I used to live in Cabell County. In that County, in a town called Ona, was a sick ass Dad who raped his 11 year old daughter, she got pregnant. The Dad and stepmom forced her to have an abortion to hide the pregnancy. You heard me "forced her".

Where was this child's "choice"? It was done to hide a crime. The father is Michael Joe Adkins, google the name. The scum of the century has been in and out of jail since.

So while your are worried about running track and playing volley ball you ought to worry about those around you who are really being hurt by abortion. You should also learn how to report sex abuse not kill a baby that was the result of it. A baby who had nothing to do with you being harmed.

You don't live in a third world country although many think West Virginia is. You can get quality pre natal care here. You can carry a child to birth without complications. You may leave the baby at the hospital under the safe haven laws or find any couple you chose to adopt him/her. Then when you recover from birth you will be back on the track field in no time.

I often wonder what happened to that child in Ona. She is an adult now but I know she must hurt. I hope she is okay. I do pray for her. Ona used to be a nice place but gradually like most of Cabell County it just went down hill. People like Michael Joe Adkins. Then again they say talent skips a generation so who knows many that daughter he raped will be a saint.

If a child is conceived of rape, liberals want to kill the innocent baby, but let the rapist go free.

Has she not heard if the morning after pill? I don’t believe that constitutes an abortion.

No way that girl wrote this speech herself.

It is pure Planned Parenthood bullshit, couched in Victorian Era overdramatized language.

Exactly. Mommy and daddy Woke did multiple rehearsals for this drama. Must be the new Greta Thunberg but for the abortion side..

Her mother must wish she had had an abortion and has told her daughter many times. Sad. What 12 year old knows anything about having children. Sick people.

“unspeakable things”

Unspeakable things they speak of daily in school and the media.

NONE. I have 13 year old nieces. That issue is too big for kids. All they care about is nice clothes and an expensive Iphone. Damn obvious she was coached by her sick twisted leftard parents.

Without sounding condescending, I would gently ask her “Honey, if you were CONCEIVED 12 years ago from the same horrible crime, what would your vote be?”

These examples of why abortion should be a “right” represent only a fraction of a fraction of the million plus abortion procedures each year.

Way to go Dems, just keep on using preteens to justify abortion.

Just sick . . .

Unplanned Parenthood or Misplanned Parenthood are nothing but cold blooded killers.

A 12 year old girl is being used. Exploited for the shock value of not being able to kill her unwanted baby.
When I was 12 I didn’t even know about “unspeakable things!”
I grew up in the 40’s and 50’s. Life was different then.
