"I'm Pro-Life Because of the Radical Idea Unborn Babies are People" Says 9th Grade Winner of National Speech Contest"It isn't up to us to pick and choose who lives and who dies. It is not our place to decide that the unborn are "worthless," and therefore have no place on earth. If they had no place on earth, God would not give them to us." -Rosalia Palumbo (Washington, DC)—The winner of this year's National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) speech contest is 9th grader Rosalia Palumbo. Read her winning entry below, posted on the NRLC website, and you'll quickly realize why judges awarded her the prize: Why am I pro-life? I have never asked myself that question, I just knew I was. Before I answer it, I should define what being "pro-life" means to me. Being pro-life is protecting life, the lives of innocent, defenseless unborn babies, and the sometimes dependent, and yet invaluable, lives of the elderly. It means standing up for that third of my generation that is missing because of abortion, pressing the fact that equal rights, the right to life, belongs to the unborn, too. Acknowledging that all are gifts from God, and therefore are not burdens. Using our freedom of speech to stand up against this modern world, which frowns upon pregnant women, using our words of comfort, strengthen to reassure them. Being pro-life is more than just saying so. It is standing up for your beliefs and taking a stand against the injustice of this world, setting our eyes on Heaven, and doing the most good for those who need it. I am pro-life because I believe in equality. I believe all life is equal. From conception to natural death, all life is special. God has a plan for everyone and everything. It is not up to us to decide that because of their stage in life, there is no need or purpose or plan for the unborn. Selfishly choosing to kill them because of this is wrong, and I will not stand by and watch it happen. I am pro-life to bring an end to this. Depending on their family, friends, and caregivers does not mean the elderly are unable to do anything. Our selfishness is no reason to end their lives. They can give us knowledge and advice on those obstacles in life when we may think there is no one to help. Most likely they have been there before, and we can learn a lot from their triumphs and mistakes. I am pro-life because I believe a life is a gift from God. I believe that pregnant women and unborn children are priceless in God's eyes, and shouldn't be any less in ours. I believe all life is in, and from, God's hand, and that He is in complete control of when someone's life ends.
