AP Photo/Alex Brandon Fox News’ Mark Levin delivered an implicit rebuke of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine on Wednesday, debunking a series of false and misleading claims made by the president. On his radio show, Levin delivered a history lesson on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and various crimes, while going to bat for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “People claim to be speaking for you, who are not speaking for you, who are in the media, who are in other positions and so forth,” he continued. “Zelensky ordered martial law —...

On January 22, 2025, Live Action founder and president Lila Rose took part in a Georgetown University abortion debate with author and attorney Dr. Mary Anne Franks. The two discussed whether induced abortion — the direct and intentional killing of a preborn child — should be legal. Moderators for the debate were Elizabeth Oliver, President of Georgetown Right to Life (Class of 2026) and Max Wolff-Merovick (Class of 2028). In her opening statement, Rose said, “The question we are addressing tonight is this: ‘Should abortion be legal?’ Or, to put it more simply, ‘Should murder be legal?’” “The word ‘abortion’...

Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do.Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had proudly endorsed the radical, openly anti-Christian Joe Biden stand-in for president. According to them, mean tweets and a bad spray tan were far worse than a regime that made a point out of throwing praying grandmas in prison.Concerns about Trump’s personal conduct 10...

President Donald Trump addressed pro-life advocates in a video speech at the 52nd annual March for Life on Friday, praising them for their “extraordinary love and compassion for the unborn” while promising to “end the weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith.” Trump pledged in the video — which played to a crowd of thousands gathered in Washington, DC, in frigid weather — that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will investigate the hundreds of pro-abortion attacks on churches and pregnancy centers. He also talked about his pardoning of nearly two dozen pro-life activists targeted, and some imprisoned, by the...

A mere four days into his second term, President Donald Trump made every single pro-lifers’ vote for him worth it by pardoning 23 people the Biden administration targeted for their peaceful opposition to abortion. Trump’s Thursday afternoon executive order effectively nullified the Biden administration’s attempt to weaponize itself against mostly Christian activists who spent their time praying, worshipping, and evangelizing at abortion facilities across the nation. It also proved that all of the moaning, groaning, and grandstanding from “principled” pro-lifers about Trump betraying their base was completely unfounded and unwarranted. It is true that Trump’s personal position on abortion is,...

Today, Live Action unveiled a cutting-edge political advertisement campaign to encourage the people of Ohio to vote against Issue 1 on November 7th. Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, released the following statement: “Ohio voters will soon make a decision of whether to add expansive language to their state constitution that will target preborn children for death and leave women in dangerous and vulnerable situations to be pressured and coerced into abortions. If passed, Issue 1 in Ohio will open the floodgates to abortion up until the moment of birth, and strip the rights of parents to know...

This article includes clips of young children dressing and dancing sexually.At a time the left has declared that “silence is violence,” Michelle Obama’s silence on Netflix’s controversial movie “Cuties” has not gone unnoticed. It is also undermining her brand as “America’s mom” and chief defender of female empowerment across the globe.No one should doubt the considerable power former first lady Michelle Obama wields within Netflix or the unrivaled cultural influence she has to speak out in defense of preserving girlhood and innocence. Sadly, however, Michelle has a troubling history of celebrating, rather than denouncing, the sexualization of popular culture...

It’s good to know that our public debate on abortion and human life is being regulated by the experts at a social media network known best for meme-posting. The pro-life group Live Action found itself blocked from Pinterest this morning, supposedly for purveying “misinformation” about abortion. The group and its executive director, Lila Rose, announced that the platform had confirmed its decision to bar Live Action:

National pro-life leader Lila Rose described New York State’s new law that allows abortions up until the day of birth as “barbaric and inhumane,” and “no different than infanticide.”

During my journey to confirmation, I learned that throughout the Church's history, there have been great saints and terrible sinners, even in the highest offices of the Church. Of the twelve apostles, Judas betrayed Jesus, and Peter, the first bishop of Rome, denied Him three times. Christ Himself predicted that scandals would be inevitable in the Church (Matthew 18:7). But Christ promised to never abandon His Bride (Ephesians 5:25-7). My faith was not shaken by revelations about abuse and cover-ups at the highest levels of the Church... The ills of the world have infected our Church. This is not surprising—no...

In the wake of an undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood’s alleged fetal trafficking operation, the California state legislature is considering a bill that would criminalize publishing secretly recorded video footage of “health care providers.” AB 1671, which has been backed by Planned Parenthood, would criminalize the publication of confidential interactions with state-licensed medical personnel, including abortionists and clinician staff, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine per violation. Introduced by Los Angeles Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, the bill has received criticism from both pro-life activists and those who worry about its potential to chill free speech...

Planned Parenthood is demonstrating that it has no interest in dialogue with individuals who don’t agree with its extreme abortion agenda, or with those who expose its abuses. The abortion giant has blocked both Live Action and its president, Lila Rose, from viewing select Twitter accounts. Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and president Cecile Richards, have blocked Rose from following and viewing content; Live Action has been banned from viewing content from Richards, too, along with other Planned Parenthood accounts. **images on link*** In addition, multiple Planned Parenthood accounts have blocked Live Action from viewing their...

An undercover video recorded by the non-profit organization, Center for Medical Progress, shows Planned Parenthood Federation Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, discussing their fetal parts business. VIDEO ON LINK Nucatola is seen in the video having lunch with actors posing as buyers who are interested in purchasing the body parts of babies who have been aborted.

A documentary film series produced in 2013, but one I have only recently viewed, maintains that the modern church’s stand in accepting birth control is contrary to centuries of early church teaching. Birth Control The Movie was directed by Kevin Peeples based on his own personal journey to answer the question: As a Christian, is birth control up to us? Little did he realize that his journey coincided with producers Scott Matthew Dix and Nathan Nicholson. The series consists of two DVD’s: BIRTH CONTROL: How Did We Get Here?, which looks into why there is no fundamental difference between the...

The pro-life movement experienced a milestone year, with huge national victories across the board. From a record number of pro-life legislators elected to Congress to wins protecting the freedom of conscience and pro-life legislation, 2014 was a benchmark year for pro-life. Not all pro-life victories of the past year were front-page news.

What do abortionists truly believe about the humanity of preborn children, and what do they admit about the violent late-term abortion procedures they perform when they do not realize the cameras are rolling? Live Action‘s “What is Human?” undercover investigation probes America’s late-term abortion industry, and reveals chilling admissions from abortionists on the humanity of children in the womb. The video, which has garnered millions of views on Facebook and over 60,000 views on YouTube, exposes the violent and inhumane nature of late-term abortion procedures that occur daily in abortion facilities. “What is Human?” details the willingness of abortionists to...

A lot of people assume the term “female misogynist” is an oxymoron. How can a woman be opposed to the fight to help women achieve equality? The sad fact of the matter is, as long as there has been feminism, there have been women who find it personally advantageous to reject feminism and instead argue for continuing social systems that perpetuate women’s inequality, male dominance, and even violence against women. (There were even plenty of women who were willing to argue against women’s suffrage back in the day.) Here is a list of nine women who have made a career...

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, June 11, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Planned Parenthood employee suggested that a teenage girl watch pornographic videos of sadomasochism, use sex toys, and “work up to” the point that her boyfriend could begin “hitting” her during intercourse, in a new undercover video released Wednesday by pro-life group Live Action. In the video, an undercover investigator poses as a 15-year-old girl and asks a Planned Parenthood affiliate for sexual advice. Part of its new SexEd series, the six-minute-long edited video begins with a disclaimer that its content is “not suitable for children.”

ARLINGTON, VA, July 24, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Citing a dire need for honest reporting, pro-life powerhouse Live Action is launching a “March on the Media” campaign targeting ABC, CBS and NBC, the three largest American news networks. “Like it or not, the major news networks have huge influence in our country,” said Live Action President Lila Rose. “Millions of Americans get a sense of the world through national filters like ABC, CBS, and NBC. So it's inexcusable when these networks, in whom so much public trust is invested, refuse to report the facts on one of the most pressing human...
