National Right to Life

Here's a young lady, Elizabeth Trisler, that won an award for her oratory skill. As a reward for her effort and skill, she was given the opportunity to speak in the Ohio state legislature - and then it was taken away.

This Speaker of the House, Mr. Budish, was against her speaking because of the content of her speech. You see, it was a pro-life speech. Of course when met with controversy, Mr. Budish wisely "changed his mind." I understand the concept of changing your mind, but come on, keep your mouth closed in the first place. Mr. Budish is a pro-choice democrat. Of course he's gonna oppose, but she won this award fair and square for her speaking abilities, not for the speech itself.

Elizabeth showed courage to even speak on a controversial issue in a contest like that. I am proud of her, as I'm sure most of he pro-life world is. I would actually like to see her speech. ( So if anyone can find it if I can't let me know.)

Also, lets log into YouTube and post a comment to encourage this young lady. I'm sure she'll have her critics, but I say "well done!" The Bless family is proud of you.

All about Applemama

I'm a homeschool mother of 4 wonderful children. My girls are 11, 4 and 2. My only son is 8 and full of energy. We live in rural PA, and have 8 chickens, 5 rabbits, 3 cats, 3 ducks, and one mouse.

We were married here 11 years ago and moved off to FL - then to VA - and now back here after my husband's job was uprooted and not transplanted. He found a job to work in his field (at least somewhat) and we are taking a wonderful opportunity to move back to where we met. We have old friends here and enjoy reconnecting with the church where we were married. We love it and are making many new friends.
