Do you know my story? - Lila Rose (President and Founder of Live Action)

Dear Friend,

I’m not sure you know this, but when I was 9 years old, I had my first encounter with abortion.

I had been looking for something to read in my parent's house, and I pulled a book off a shelf and opened it in the middle. What I saw deeply grieved me.

There was a baby, perhaps 10 weeks old, with newly formed arms and legs and a little face - but he had been torn apart by a first trimester suction abortion.

I soon learned that the lives of precious little babies were taken every day, over 1 million every year. I learned that this barbaric practice was sanctioned and protected by the law, and that all over the country, and within 10 miles of my childhood home, there was a Planned Parenthood abortion facility open for business. 

The more I learned about abortion, I had the growing sense that, while I was alive and healthy and safe, millions of children were dead and were continuing to die every day, and I wanted to do something about it.

At 15, I was working with a group of friends, and we began to educate people through my local community, focused on conveying the brutality and inhumanity of abortion and the humanity of the preborn child. There had been so many lies told and believed about life and abortion. I felt certain that if people were able to have an encounter with the beauty of life and the inhumanity of abortion, that minds and hearts would be changed. 

This was really the start of Live Action. And after this start almost ten years ago, we are seeing proof of just that.

Since those early days, Live Action has built the largest social media following in the pro-life movement. These powerful media platforms have allowed us to share more pro-life content with more Americans than ever before in the history of the pro-life movement.

Live Action became the first organization to use former abortionists and medical animation to explain the four most prevalent abortion procedures through our “Abortion Procedures” campaign, exposing the horror of the violence inflicted upon preborn children.

Since the launch of “Abortion Procedures,” the campaign has been viewed over 80 MILLION times, and we directly know of at least seven lives that have been saved after expectant moms watched these short videos!

But friend, Live Action’s story is still being written and our impact is only just beginning…

During this incredibly important time in the fight for life, we must do everything we can to change more hearts and minds against abortion.

I want to personally ask if you would consider helping us reach as many Americans as possible in these next few months with the truth about abortion through a gift to Live Action. When you make a gift of $50 or more to Live Action today, you will not only help us change our culture for life, but you will help us reach our critical $40,000 goal by June 30!

You can make your tax-deductible gift here: https://www.liveaction.org/support/culture-of-life/

Our education campaigns have decisively shown how hearts and minds can change on abortion – we just need to ensure we can get our content in front of people and you can make that happen.

Right now, we have an opportunity like never before to build a lasting culture of life and secure critical protections for the most vulnerable – the preborn.

My friend, can I count on you?

I appreciate you standing with us and giving to help us meet our goal by June 30.

For life, 

-Lila

5 Things The Pro-Life Movement Would Like to See From Trump and Congress - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

5 Things The Pro-Life Movement Would Like to See From Trump and Congress

BOB ESCHLIMAN  CHARISMA NEWS
Following President-Elect Donald Trump's victory on Nov. 8, and with both chambers of Congress firmly in Republican control, pro-life Americans now have hope that real progress can be made in the struggle to protect innocent lives from the brutality of abortion death.
To keep the GOP's feet to the first with regard to issues of life, Operation Rescue has issued its "Top 5" list of legislative priorities for the incoming Congress. While it is not an exhaustive list of everything that could be done, it is a start, the group's president, Troy Newman said.
"During the election, promises were made to pro-life/pro-family groups, and after Inauguration Day, it will be time to make those promises a reality," he said. "We can accept no excuse for failure."
The list includes:
  • Make conservative, pro-life nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court.The promise that Mr. Trump would appoint a pro-life justice to replace Antonin Scalia was one of the strongest promises made. Fulfilling this promise must be among the Administration's top priorities. Without solid justices that will uphold the Constitutional right to life, all other pro-life actions become subject to reversal.
  • Defund and prosecute Planned Parenthood. The majority of the American people oppose tax-funding for Planned Parenthood as long as it is in the abortion business. Money that now helps Planned Parenthood market abortions to vulnerable women should instead be reallocated to legitimate health care clinics so no one goes without the care they need. It must be a high priority to prosecute Planned Parenthood for the hundreds of alleged crimes related to the illegal trafficking of aborted baby remains, and for over-billing government funds for prescriptions and services. A strong message must be sent that abortionists are not above the law.
  • Pass the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This would ensure that babies at 20 weeks gestation and older have legal protections and cannot be aborted. This will end the savagery of poisoning and dismembering pre-born babies that are capable feeling pain.
  • Repeal Obamacare and its Abortion Mandate. Obamacare has been a disaster for the American people in general and for those of faith in particular, who have been forced to pay for abortion and birth control in violation of their religious liberties. There are ways to improve health care for Americans that do not involve paying for abortion and other services that violate the deeply held religious convictions of millions of Americans.
  • Extend the Select Panel on Infant Lives into the next Congressional session. It is important to continue the Select Panel's investigation into illegal abortion practices and trafficking in baby body parts, which is set to conclude at the end of the year, because of delay tactics that have left subpoenas unanswered. At the very least, any recommendations made by the Panel to state attorneys general or the Department of Justice should be respected and crimes prosecuted.
"It is our hope that the table can be set within the next four years for the complete abolition of abortion," Newman said. "That is our ultimate goal, and for the first time since Roe v. Wade, it is now possible to achieve it."
