Statement by Lila Rose, president of Live Action, on Senate failure to pass the Pain Capable bill September 15, 2015: Today’s ​failure of the ​Senate ​to pass ​a ​law preventing most ​abortion​s after babies are old enough to feel pain is beyond belief. It should sicken every American that our elected leaders refuse to protect the most vulnerable in our society, even when science has proven that at ​just ​20 weeks​ old, child​ren​ in the womb can feel the intense pain of the abortionists' tools tearing their​ arms and legs from their bodies. Every senator who voted against this legislation is... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose, president of Live Action, on 10th video in baby parts scandal September 15, 2015: The newest video by Center for Medical Progress shows at what length Planned Parenthood executives will go to cover up the illegal harvesting of and profiting from baby parts. Multiple executives also discuss the public relations nightmare should these illegal practices become public. The nightmare is a reality, and along with continuing its multiple investigations into the abortion giant, Congress should immediately stop funneling over half a billion taxpayer dollars into Planned Parenthood and instead redirect the money to the over 13,000... read more →

Press Release (September 14, 2015) – In a memo to congressional leaders today, including the leaders of committees holding hearings, Lila Rose, the president of leading pro-life organization Live Action, discredited several claims Planned Parenthood’s president made to Congress that her facilities comply with the law when they harvest organs from aborted children.  Rose urged that Congress continue its multiple investigations into Planned Parenthood illegally profiting from the sale of baby body parts and also allowing infants born alive to die so their organs could be harvested. Rose also asked Congress to immediately stop pouring over half a billion dollars... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose, president of Live Action, on 8th video in baby parts scandal August 25, 2015: "This new video is yet another confirmation of what the seven other videos have proven--Planned Parenthood sells the body parts of the children that they abort, including babies who are delivered intact and very likely born alive. Cate Dyer--the CEO of the company which has Planned Parenthood-endorsed advertisements which tout the profitability of the selling of baby parts--casually states Parenthood Parenthood is a "volume institution," and references the "intact cases, which happens a lot." Dyer's words are chilling--every "intact case" that StemExpress buys... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose, president of Live Action, on 6th video in Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal August 12, 2015: “We can now add harvesting baby organs without the consent of the mother to the list of ethical violations and criminal activities committed inside Planned Parenthood clinic. If this was any other business there would be a rush by media and politicians for full disclosure, defunding and calls to shut down what appears to be a criminal enterprise." Background: August 12, 2015: Planned Parenthood sold baby parts without woman’s consent says former tech

Statement by Lila Rose, president of Live Action, on Donald Trump’s waffling over defunding Planned Parenthood August 11, 2015: "Trump's vacillation on Planned Parenthood funding is deeply troubling, and reveals an ignorance about their horrific abortion practices--their killing over 320,000 children a year, and bartering to sell the body parts of those they abort. It's obvious from Mr. Trump's comments that he has not watched the Planned Parenthood videos released by Center for Medical Progress. That is the only way he could recommend to continue funding this abortion conglomerate that is totally unnecessary and any organization that engages in these human rights abuses does not deserve... read more →

August 3, 2015: “The public outcry against Planned Parenthood continues to grow as we learn about the atrocities within the abortion giant’s facilities. I have to believe that those Senators who voted against defunding Planned Parenthood must have never actually viewed the videos released by Center for Medical Progress, where multiple high-level Planned Parenthood executives have been caught on tape negotiating prices for the bodies of aborted preborn children while they cavalierly talk about “crushing” certain body parts to preserve “five-star” organs for sale. This, just the latest in years of mounting evidence against Planned Parenthood. We call on elected... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose on third video in Planned Parenthood baby parts scandal July 28, 2015: With this third investigative video, there can be no further denial from Planned Parenthood that the abortion giant is selling the body parts of the defenseless human beings it kills in its clinics. The latest video shows the horror of abortion and how the doctors callously pick through baby body parts, discussing "intact" and "five-star" kidneys and spinal cords as if a price tag is attached to each. "From CEO Cecile Richards, down through the ranks, it is clear that Planned Parenthood is engaging in... read more →

July 28, 2015: "It is an alarming dereliction of duty that the Secretary of Health and Human Services refuses to view investigative reports that clearly demonstrate that Planned Parenthood, who receives close to half a billion taxpayer dollars a year from the federal government, is engaged in the selling and trafficking of aborted baby body parts for profit. What is she earning a government paycheck to do if not to consider the human atrocities taking place on her's and President Obama's watch? Ms. Burwell is so caught up in her radical, pro-abortion partisanship that she will not even review these... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose on second baby parts harvesting video July 21, 2015: “This latest video further illustrates the barbaric reality of business at Planned Parenthood–that after selling an abortion, Planned Parenthood works to improve their bottom line by harvesting the body parts of the child they have just killed. What has our nation come to that we allow the brutality of abortion upon our children, and then sell their broken bodies for profit, all the while, funding the perpetrator? While millions of Americans, on both sides of the political aisle, are expressing their horror at Planned Parenthood’s trafficking of... read more →
