\u201cA life is a life, no matter how small.\u201d<\/em> This is the first line from a powerful poem that was written by a 7th-grade\u00a0girl who wanted her classmates to know that the life of an unborn baby is precious.\n<\/p>\n

Post a prayer for your state!<\/h4>\n

Pro-Life Poem Banned<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, the courageous young lady was denied the privilege of presenting her poem because her teacher deemed it \u201ctoo political.\u201d Though other students in the class were given free rein to make \u201cJesus jokes,\u201d debate immigration policies, \u201cbash the Second Amendment,\u201d and discuss LGBT topics, the idea of saving an innocent baby\u2019s life was outright banned. The teacher\u2019s excuse for shunning the pro-life piece was that it was an \u201cunsafe\u201d subject for 7th graders. The true definition of unsafe, however, was clearly shown in the 13-year-old\u2019s poem, which declared that millions of babies have been murdered in the womb.\n<\/p>\n

In a world where life is revered and cherished, this poem would\u2019ve been celebrated, embraced, and shared. But we are living in times where many spread the lie that the unborn are a burden, a clump of cells, and even inhumane.\n<\/p>\n

God Loves Life<\/h2>\n

Psalm 139:13-14 declares, For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother\u2019s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, those who refuse to acknowledge God\u2019s sovereignty over creation do not stand up to protect the unborn. Instead of seeing these babies as miracles fashioned by the Lord\u2019s hands, they cast them off as insignificant. The concept of a baby having a right to life is \u201cpolitical\u201d and \u201coffensive,\u201d rather than truthful and honorable.\n<\/p>\n

Standing Up for the Smallest of All<\/h2>\n

The Libs of TikTok heard about the incident and reached out to the young girl and her mother. They reported, \u201cStaff admitted that the poem met all the requirements however couldn\u2019t be read out loud because it\u2019s \u2018politically charged.\u2019 The teacher also initially tried kicking this 13-year-old girl out of class during the poem presentations, but allowed her to stay after pushback. We spoke with the mother and daughter, who shared their story with us and explained why being pro-life is so personal to them. This happened at Drake Middle School in @JeffcoSchoolsCo.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview, the young girl (who, for privacy reasons, hadn\u2019t shared her name at the time this article was written<\/em>) specified that students in her class were asked to write a slam poem \u201cabout a conflict in the world\u201d that they were passionate about. She chose life.<\/em><\/strong> Her writing submission included \u201cBible verses, Dr. Seuss references, and sobering abortion statistics.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Many news sources have published the full text of her poem, which is listed below.\n<\/p>\n

A life is a life, no matter how small.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Seventy-three million people have been killed in one year and will be killed again this year, if not more \u2014 when they are completely innocent humans.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

They never get to see the light of day before they are cast away. They did nothing wrong except exist and were dismissed. People say women and healthcare but never think how unfair\u2014they kill a baby for simply being there!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

The Word of God says, \u201dYou knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb.\u2019 How come we never listen to this and try to send them to a tomb?<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. His works are wonderful. A person is a person, no matter how small.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

A life is a life\u2014no matter how small.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

We often forget this important detail. This detail could save a life. Sixty percent of babies who weren\u2019t intended have died because of this.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Why do people kill these innocent babies with the pill? Why do people say babies in the womb are a mistake-a thing that needs to be gotten rid of? Why, why, why?<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

When you ask someone is murder bad, they say yes, of course. But how come when you say murdering innocent babies is bad, they shame you?<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

They say women\u2019s rights and healthcare but what about the baby\u2019s rights? That\u2019s what\u2019s unfair. From the moment they are created, they are a human person. They are created in God\u2019s image.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

People say women\u2019s rights and healthcare. That\u2019s say it\u2019s just a clump of cells. But no one dwells on the fact that the baby still has a heartbeat at six weeks. Boom boom, boom boom.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Nothing compares to the love a mother has for her baby. So just maybe we let them have a chance to live and that love will grow.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Destruction, dismay, dread. When will people comprehend that this needs to come to an end?<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

A life is a life\u2014no matter how small.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Life Goes Viral<\/h2>\n

The young girl\u2019s story and poem are now reaching people far and wide. Though she was banned from reading it to her classmates, it has now been read by millions, and its popularity is growing.\n<\/p>\n

NCAA All-American swimmer and conservative champion Riley Gaines posted on X, \u201c2.2 million views is a heck of a lot more than the 30 students in her class. What the teacher meant for bad, God used for good. Bravo to this brave girl!\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

One social media user responded, \u201cPowerful. Factual. Impactful. Everything that pro-abortionists\u2013and their public-school propagandists hate. They are offended because deep down they know it\u2019s true\u2013even if they will never admit it.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

An Inspiring Background<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a beautiful backstory to the poem that champions the unborn and God\u2019s design for life. In an interview, the girl\u2019s mother revealed that her own mother became pregnant at the very young age of 14, but instead of choosing death for her baby, she chose life. She emphasized that she \u201cmight not be here today\u201d if her own mother lived in the political climate that we exist in currently\u2013one where babies are labeled as unworthy of life. Nonetheless, the girl\u2019s mother stressed, \u201c<\/em>There\u2019s hope in hard situations. There\u2019s purpose in pain. Good things come out of situations that seem bleak. My family is proof of that.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Horton Hears a Who<\/h2>\n

The young girl\u2019s poem hearkens back to Dr. Seuss\u2019s classic book, Horton<\/em> Hears a Who<\/em>, which is the story of an elephant who trumpets the truth about life. In that tale, Horton proclaims \u201ca person\u2019s a person no matter how small,\u201d <\/em>as he tries to convince sarcastic kangaroos, heckling monkeys, and other jungle animals that the microscopic Whos in the tiny land of Whoville are worthy of life.\n<\/p>\n

Horton\u2019s message isn\u2019t received well at first. The poor elephant is beaten, mauled, tied up, and placed inside a cage. Yet a miracle happens when the tiny Whos band together to prove they exist. They make loud noises, yell, and create a ruckus, hoping their voices will finally be heard. But it isn\u2019t enough. It just so happens that one Who chose to stay silent, so the Mayor of Whoville yells, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to make noises in greater amounts. So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!\u201d <\/em>In response, the last remaining Who let his voice ring out. And it made all the difference. Suddenly, those who vehemently claimed the Whos weren\u2019t real people heard their voices and ultimately agreed with Horton\u2019s pro-life stance!\n<\/p>\n

Thank you, Dr. Seuss, for that timely message. And thank you to this bold young girl who trumpeted the truth, even when it wasn\u2019t popular. Some would say, \u201cShe\u2019s just one person, what can she do?\u201d<\/em> As we\u2019ve already seen, one person can make all the difference if God is behind their message. \u00a0<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Dr. Seuss Banned \u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

IFA covered this topic back in 2021 when some of Dr. Seuss\u2019s children\u2019s books were on the chopping block because of leftist ideologies and rampant censorship. It goes without saying that the issues surrounding the sanctity of life are just as important today as they were then. The most dangerous place on earth for a child is the womb. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. Even a 7th grader can see, \u201cA life is a life, no matter how small.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Though this young girl has faced censorship and discrimination for her pro-life views, the truth is that God works all things together for our good<\/em> (Romans 8:28). The Almighty is always hundreds of steps ahead of the game. It\u2019s time to make this pro-life poem famous. A message like this should go viral.\n<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, thank you for this wonderful young lady who had the courage to trumpet the truth about life. We pray for more young people to stand up for what is noble, true, and good. This is not a time to shrink back, but rather it\u2019s a time for fierce bravery. Bless and protect this sweet girl and her family.\n<\/p>\n

The last sentence in Horton Hears a Who<\/em> reads, \u201cFrom sun in the summer, from rain when it\u2019s fall-ish, I\u2019m going to protect them. No matter how small-ish!\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Those are inspiring last words. Let\u2019s protect the unborn, no matter how \u201csmall-ish\u201d they are.\n<\/p>\n
