Lila Rose, president of Live Action, was in the White House on Thursday to talk about censorship and Big Tech’s attempts to mute the spread of pro-life information with President Donald Trump. Live Action, one of the pro-life movement’s biggest and most influential companies, has run into issues across social media. They’re well known for their videos describing abortion procedures, undercover clinic videos in Planned Parenthood locations, and other materials that support a pro-life worldview. Pinterest removed its account and, when other users attempt to pin content from the organization, the content is placed on the same lists as pornographic...

In a recent poll for “Axios on HBO,” 55% of American women say they would prefer to live in a socialist country over a capitalist country. This week on “Problematic Women,” we discuss why women are embracing socialism and what can be done to stop this trend. Also, we break down why freshman Rep.

FULL TITLE: Whistleblower reveals how Pinterest BANNED pro-life group Live Action by categorizing it as porn and censored Bible verses as 'sensitive terms' e-mail 86 shares 122 View comments A whistleblower has leaked internal documents from Pinterest, showing how the social media company blocked the anti-abortion group Live Action by classifying it as porn, and also censored terms related to Christianity and the Bible. Following the revelations, Pinterest permanently banned Live Action on Tuesday, saying that the group spreads 'medical misinformation' and 'conspiracies' in a shutdown notice shared by Live Action. In a statement, Live Action founder and president Lila...

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:

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...

Once you’ve written something as blatantly ethically bankrupt as Mary Elizabeth Williams’ notorious “So what if abortion ends life?” Salon piece — which, you may recall, contained such gems as, “All life is not equal” and claimed that a preborn son or daughter targeted for death is a “life worth sacrificing” — there’s pretty much no low too low to sink to next. So the dishonesty with which Williams attacks my July 3 Live Action piece on life-of-the-mother abortions should come as no surprise. Her dishonesty begins with the tiny detail that nowhere does she mention my name or Live...

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...

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...

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.”

"Growing up, Mom always told me, 'The answer to life is yes.'" That was Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, speaking and Barnard College's commencement last month. Richards is the daughter of a former Texas governor, the late Ann Richards, and in her speech Cecile Richards went on to praise another feminist icon, Margaret Sanger, the mother of Planned Parenthood. In describing the "movement" Sanger gave birth to, Richards left out its eugenics-based origins and its current dark side, which give a dark irony to her life-affirming message above. A new report from Live Action, a group that has...

I’ve been a writer for Live Action News for almost two years. Before I wrote for Live Action News I was familiar with Lila Rose and the work of her organization. I watched the eye opening video Live Action made exposing racism in Planned Parenthood. I remember how I felt hearing an actor ask a Planned Parenthood worker if he could donate funds specifically towards the abortion of a black baby. The actor said ‘the less black kids the better’ and mentioned that he was against affirmative action and didn’t want his child to grow up with more competition then...

ARLINGTON, VA, May 28, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- Six years of undercover videos and phone calls show that Planned Parenthood engages in illegal and unethical behavior, according to the pro-life group Live Action's newest video and website project. Launched earlier today, Live Action's "Planned Parenthood EXPOSED" project calls upon Congress to stop taxpayer funding of the abortion giant. The organization has penned a letter to all members of Congress insisting that Planned Parenthood "should not receive even a cent of American taxpayers' income."

The pro-life group Live Action has released a fourth video in a series of undercover videos catching late-term abortion practitioners and abortion clinics misleading women and showing indifference to the destruction of human life. The videos show embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell is not an anomaly. The latest investigative video release captures late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart on tape discussing the grisly details of the abortion procedure and misleading a pregnant woman regarding the dangers of abortion. Cahart’s testimony is shocking and disturbing. He compares the child in the womb to “meat in a Crock-Pot” and then jokes about his abortion...

The Internet is buzzing today over a new Live Action investigation video, which shows late-term abortion practitioner Leroy Carhart comparing abortion and the killing of unborn children to cooking meat in a crock pot. It turns out, this is at least the second time Carhart has made the sick comparison. Carhart’s name will forever be synonymous with the 2000 Supreme Court decision that overturned a Nebraska ban on partial-birth abortions and his failed bid to stop a Congressional ban on the gruesome abortion procedure. In an April 2004 testimony in the trial leading up to the high court rulings, Carhart,...

A third shocking undercover video has been released showing abortion clinic staffers saying they will not revive babies who are born alive after failed abortions. The videos show embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell was not an anomaly. The new video comes on the heels of abortion doctor Cesare Santangelo of Washington, D.C, who was exposed on a recent undercover video telling a 24-week pregnant woman that in the unlikely event that an abortion resulted in a live birth, “we would not help it.” Before that, the pro-life group released a video showing an abortion facility staff member saying an unborn...

Pregnant activists pretending to be patients went into several clinics to ask questions about the late-term abortion procedures. Using hidden cameras, the activists filmed the responses from clinic workers and doctors who reassured them that their child would not be born alive and what they would do if something went wrong.

Live Action released a video yesterday (April 28, 2013) which showed a clinic worker from New York telling a pregnant woman who posed as an abortion patient that if she gave birth to a living, breathing baby, the baby would be suspended in a poisonous solution that would “make it stop [breathing.]” In another part of the transcript, which can be found here, the clinic worker warns the pregnant woman about the laminaria, small seaweed sticks that dilate the cervix before an abortion. The laminaria is inserted a day or two before the baby is taken out of the womb....

Yesterday, April 28, the blog Media Matters published an article entitled “Live Action’s Latest Abortion Clinic Undercover Video A Bust” The article attempts to disparage the footage that Live Action released which showed a 23 week pregnant woman posing as a patient going in for an abortion at Dr. Emily’s Woman’s Clinic The footage, which can be seen here in it’s edited form and here in it’s unedited form, addresses the clinic’s policy of what happens if a baby is born alive. The pregnant woman asks about what would happen if the baby were to come out intact and alive....

Live Action has just released a new investigative video project, titled Inhuman: Undercover in America’s Late-Term Abortion Industry. The newsroom has already published a piece with a description of the video, a portion of the press release, as well as the video of the investigation. The investigation took place at Dr. Emily’s Women’s Health Center in the Bronx, New York. The video involves a woman 23 weeks pregnant speaking to a clinic worker about a possible abortion, which will be a two-day procedure. The video, which is slightly over eight minutes, mostly is a conversation between this woman and a...
