(January 25, 2016) – "David Daleiden and his team have done a tremendous public service by exposing the horrific crimes against humanity that Planned Parenthood hides behind closed doors.  CMP's investigation forced Planned Parenthood, a tax-funded billion dollar corporation, to admit it was harvesting and selling aborted baby parts. "The district attorney’s office was asked months ago about recusing itself from this case because one of its prosecutors serves as a board member of the Planned Parenthood affiliate involved in the case.  It is unacceptable that the office did not recuse itself to eliminate any and all questions of potential... read more →

Statement by Lila Rose on Planned Parenthood's suit of Center for Medical Progress ARLINGTON, VA (January 14, 2016) - Funded with billions of our tax dollars, Planned Parenthood has shamelessly announced today that it is suing a brave young activist and some of his friends. This small group of people have done an incredible service to America, exposing the unspeakable horrors in the back rooms of abortion facilities: the slicing apart of tiny bodies, freshly aborted — some as old as six months — in order to extract their parts for money. Half of Americans identify as pro-life, and the U.S.... read more →

Statement from Lila on Rep. Sean Duffy's remarks about abortion in the black community ARLINGTON, VA (January 13, 2016) – “The disproportionately high numbers of abortions and abortion clinics in minority communities clearly support Rep. Duffy’s statement that abortionists target black communities.  Live Action’s undercover video investigations have caught Planned Parenthood on multiple occasions all too willing to accept donations specifically given to abort Black children.  To this day, Planned Parenthood continues to celebrate its founder, Margaret Sanger, who talked about the need to ‘exterminate the Negro population.’ “Rather than shoot the messenger, the Congressional Black Caucus should welcome Rep. Duffy as... read more →

ARLINGTON, VA (January 8, 2016) – “President Obama, against the will of the people and the Congress that they elected, is forcing every taxpaying American to subsidize the nation's biggest abortion chain – a corporation that single-handedly kills over 320,000 children every year by abortion, including children who are up to six months of development in the womb. "It's no surprise that in polls, voters have rated President Obama as the country’s worst president since World War II. His extremism on abortion and his unflinching opposition to every pro-life policy, as well as his willful ignorance of the multiple documented criminal... read more →

ARLINGTON, VA (January 6, 2016) – Statement from Live Action president Lila Rose on the House of Representatives today passing H.R. 3762, which would end over $400 million of the $500+ million in taxpayer subsidies going to Planned Parenthood: “Congress has finally acted to stop the forced taxpayer funding of a corporation that kills over 320,000 preborn children every year and has been caught on video putting women and young girls at risk in its pursuit of greater profits. “It’s no surprise that President Obama has threatened to veto this bill, as Planned Parenthood spent over $12 million to re-elect... read more →

December 4, 2015 -- "The voices of millions of Americans were heard:  Taxpayers should not be forced to fund an organization that kills over 320,000 preborn children every year and hurts thousands of women and young girls. "While President Obama may veto this bill, we’ve proven we have the pro-life votes to get a defunding bill through Congress and to the president’s desk.  It is clear that there is now only one hurdle left, and that makes 2016 even more critical for pro-life Americans. "I still hold out some hope that Mr. Obama may finally realize that whatever his views... read more →

Arlington, VA (November 13, 2015) "While no woman or preborn child is safe in an abortion clinic, it ought to raise huge red flags that the abortion industry is willing to compromise women’s safety even further by refusing to meet the same basic health and safety standards that most medical centers do.  Time and again, we see the abortion industry cutting corners – even to the point of putting women’s safety at risk – just to increase profits.  These are commonsense regulations, and the abortion industry needs to follow the same rules that everyone else has to. I am disappointed that... read more →

March 31, 2015 CONTACT: Becky Yeh, media@liveaction.org Even a single taxpayer dollar used for the destruction of helpless children would be a horrifying revelation. But the latest GAO report shows that abortion-pushers in the United States – Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth, SIECUS – spent $1.7 billion in combined federal and state money.  And Planned Parenthood spent a shocking $1.5 billion of that money. Live Action has shown over and over that Planned Parenthood, who leads the abortion charge in America, facilitates sex-trafficking and sends sexually abused minor girls back to their abusers.  Planned Parenthood accepts money for racist and sexist abortions.  It advocates for infanticide –... read more →

October 19, 2015 -- "I applaud the state of Texas for no longer allowing Planned Parenthood to receive Medicaid money.  Texas’s inspector general concluded what Live Action’s investigations have shown for years:  that Planned Parenthood has repeatedly neglected the minimum standards of care it is supposed to provide to clients; that it is not operating in a ‘safe, legal, and ethical manner;’ and that it is willing to put profits ahead of its clients.  Texas authorities have also found evidence that Planned Parenthood is defrauding taxpayers through a pattern of illegal billing practices, including billing for services that are medically unnecessary.... read more →
