When reports surfaced of a teen student’s struggle to recite her own poem at school because of its pro-life message, a huge social media account stepped in to teach the administrators a lesson.
Libs of TikTok shared a video of the 13-year-old girl reciting the poem:

LifeNews also covered the story:
A 13-year-old seventh-grader at Drake Middle School in Colorado’s Jefferson County Public Schools was barred from reading her pro-life slam poem aloud in class along with other students.
She was prevented even though staff acknowledged it met all assignment requirements, according to the student’s family.
The assignment asked students to write and present slam poetry about a world conflict they felt passionate about. The girl chose the topic of abortion and prepared a poem that referenced biblical verses, Dr. Seuss literature and statistics on abortions since Roe v. Wade.
Journalist Caleb Parke was among those who shared the poem in its entirety:
“A life is a life, no matter how small.
Seventy-three million people have been killed in one year and will be killed again this year if not more.
ADVERTISEMENTAnd they’re complete innocent humans.
They never get to see light of day before they’re cast away.
They did nothing wrong, except exist and were dismissed.
People say women in healthcare but never think how unfair.
They kill a baby for simply being there.
The Word of God says you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
How come you never listen to this and try to send them to a tomb?
I’m fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. His works are wonderful.
ADVERTISEMENTA person’s a person no matter how small. A life is a life no matter how small.
We often forget this important detail. This detail could save a life.
Sixty percent of babies who weren’t intended have died because of this.
Why do people kill these innocent babies with a pill?
Why do people say babies in the womb are a mistake? A thing that needs to be gotten rid of?
Why? Why? Why?
You ask someone is murder bad? They say, yes, of course.
But how come when you say murdering innocent babies is bad, they say women, rights and healthcare, but what about the baby’s rights. That’s unfair.
From the moment they are created, they are a human person. They are created in God’s image.
People say women’s rights and healthcare, they’re just a clump of cells, but no one dwells on the fact that a baby still has a heartbeat at six weeks.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Nothing compares to the love a mother has for her baby.
ADVERTISEMENTSo just maybe you’ll let them have a chance to live and that love will grow.
Destruction. Dismay. Dread.
When will people comprehend that this needs to come to an end.
A life is a life no matter how small.”
Here’s the initial interview with the teen poet:
EXCLUSIVE
Colorado Teacher REFUSED to allow a 7th grader to present her pro-life slam poetry submission because it’s “offensive” and might make kids feel “unsafe.”
Some examples of accepted topics in the class are slamming the 2nd amendment, mocking Jesus, and lgbtq rights.… pic.twitter.com/cIZCns9g3H
