I love this video because it's so inspiring. Gianna Jessen is a woman whose mother wanted to have a late-term abortion back in the 1970's. She had a saline solution injected into the uterus that was supposed to kill the baby by burning it inside and out. The mother was supposed to deliver a dead fetus within 24 hours but instead delivered Gianna, an alive baby that was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to the lack of oxygen to her brain during delivery.
She tells her testimony in Victoria, Australia though she is an American. Her story is so encouraging for those who are pro-life in the debates concerning abortion. She is a born-again Christian who isn't afraid to talk about her faith even when it seems she'll be persecuted or ridiculed for her beliefs.
I hope that someday I can live up to her example and be able to be as couragous with my faith as she was in being a witness for Christ. Though I don't seem afraid to profess my faith in writing, I still get nervous whenever I even contemplate getting up in front of a crowd to talk about myself. I hate speaking in public because, like most people, I get too nervous that I'll do or say something to embarrass myself. I look up to her because despite her diagnosis, she had beaten the odds placed against her to do the near impossible. She survived a procedure that should have left her disfigured and killed her and now lives as a profound testimony and professes of her unwavering faith in God. I hope you enjoy the video if you haven't already viewed it before. The first video is Part 1 and the second, Part 2. Youtube didn't happen to have the whole speech in one whole video at the time.
