Lila Rose is a student activist at UCLA who has dedicated herself to building a culture of life and ending abortion. At age fifteen, Lila founded Live Action, which is now a growing nonprofit with several chapters in California. Live Action is a youth-led organization and uses new media to educate and mobilize both local and national audiences to demand accountability from the abortion industry and human rights for the pre-born. *** (In fall 2006, as a freshman at UCLA, Lila founded the pro-life student magazine The Advocate, administered through the new UCLA student chapter of Live Action. The Advocate has since gone national and is distributed at over 80 different high school and college campuses across the country with a circulation of nearly 100,000.) Lila has led numerous undercover stings through Live Action, exposing corruption and illegal activity within Planned Parenthood, the Nation's number one Abortion provider. “The Mona Lisa Project,” vividly illustrates how Planned Parenthood’s ‘abortion-first mentality’ leads it to disregard state laws meant to protect young girls, instead sending them back into the arms of their sexual abusers. It has prompted officials in several states to take action against Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood affiliates are the subject of ongoing investigations in Indiana and Alabama, and the Tennessee legislature recently voted to end up to $1.1 million in taxpayer subsidies to the abortion provider. Similarly, the Alabama Department of Health put the Birmingham clinic under severe investigation as a result of the undercover video taped there. The clinic has been put on a one-year probation as the investigation continues to uncover illegal and wrongful proceedings. Also released is a collection of phone calls made too the Planned Parenthood Development offices under the name of “The Racism Project,” which captured Planned Parenthood employees behaving hospitably to and receiving donations from an actor posing as an outspoken racist. |
Lila is currently releasing the "The Rosa Acuna Project" which reveals Planned Parenthood counselors and abortionists manipulating patients and giving medical misinformation.
In addition to traveling within the U.S. and sharing her experiences with people of all ages and from all walks of life, Lila has brought her pro-life message to Ireland, Mexico and Canada in the last year.
In 2008 and 2010 respectively, Lila was awarded the inaugural Life Prize by the Gerard Health Foundation and the Young Leader Award by Susan B. Anthony’s List.
A frequent guest on radio and television programs, Lila has been featured on The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity's America, The Glenn Beck Show, EWTN, and The Laura Ingraham Show. Numerous newspapers and blogs have also covered her work, including feature pieces by Reuters, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, and National Review. The Associated Press and UPI frequently publish stories on Live Action's work, and Lila speaks at national and international pro-life events.
What a wonderful post. Thank you for featuring such a special organization and it's founder. Life is our most basic right. It should belong to everyone....even/especially those too small to speak for themselves.

ReplyDeleteIsn't Lila just beautiful? What an amazing young woman to take on a role such as this at such a young age. I so love it that she travels and speaks, as you never know whose life you may touch.
Becky is SO right Life is our most basic right, and we all have the right to speak for ourselves, even the tiny ones.

ReplyDeleteOh my!! this is such a wonderful post!! amazing... what a difference one can make!! Hope and pray that all Lila's dreams come true!! She has touched the hearts of so many... She is a true inspiration!! Bless her always!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an ambitious and brilliant young woman. I pray that she continues and makes a huge difference in changing the tide that is a frightening indication of the trouble our WORLD is in. Dearest Marydon, thank you for coming to visit me today. God bless you, Anita
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing us to Lila. What an inspirational young lady! I wish all success in her efforts to raise awareness.
ReplyDeletePeople are often surprised to learn that a politically liberal Jewish woman like myself is very much against abortion. To me, it just makes sense that killing the unborn sets up a climate of cheapening the value of all life. And as a Jew, it offends me that so many of my co-religionists are willing to encourage the death of more souls -- we above all should be trying to save the helpless and unwanted!
Please pass on my personal "You go, girl!" to Lila!
Well Done Lila...
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing young woman Lila is. I am reminded of the passage of scripture that says (my paraphrase), "Don't let anyone look down on you because of your youth." The Lord can use a heart committed to his purposes no matter what the age. May He continue to do wonderful, life-changing things through Lila's efforts.

ReplyDeleteMicki
What an amazing young lady - and gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteI think what Lila is doing is one of the most important things in our culture! What a wonderful person to work so hard to save the babies! May God richly bless her in this work, and thank you for posting about this very special person!
ReplyDeleteI know now why I truly love you! This has been my passion my whole life and when I was a single mother 34 plus years ago (35 come Dec 13) I volunteered for the Right to Life campaign. I find value in each and every human being. Now I know we could debate the whole anchor baby thing in America but I feel that God, for whatever purpose, wants life to go on! Sometime I question it but when I go to this cc meet later today and see my son's coach with his wife and baby girl in tow I think...God has something planned! I appreciate this beautiful story very much. God Bless both of you! Anne
ReplyDeleteGood for Lila! I love that the message is youth led because in so many (but not all) it is the youth that are being mis-lead in this area and to have their peers speaking to them in honor and support of life is so powerful. Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Lila for standing up for those without a voice, innocent little babies who lives BEGIN at conception.
ReplyDeleteI am pro life and proud to say it!! I never meddle in what others do and pride myself on being an open minded somewhat liberal person but when it comes to abortion it is just something that I am against with all my heart.
