Prominent pro-life activist Lila Rose first became passionate about the pro-life movement as a young child after picking up a book titled, A Handbook on Abortion. Seeing the graphic images left her heartbroken and was the impetus for her national efforts to save babies’ lives.
Rose, now 32, recounted in an interview with The Christian Post how her reaction to the book, which was written by the founders of National Right to Life, was an example of “the power of heartbreak and the importance to let ourselves really be heartbroken by what’s happening.”
After her encounter with A Handbook on Abortion, Rose continued to educate herself on the issue of abortion, a task that was aided by her parents’ subscription to the National Right to Life newsletter. Her passion led her to start a pro-life group in high school that she called Live Action and she eventually began giving presentations on the horrors of abortion all across her native Bay Area as a teenager and started demonstrating outside abortion clinics.
Rose continued her pro-life activism in college by going undercover posing as a pregnant girl and documenting her exchanges with Planned Parenthood staff. As an adult, she’s spent a lot of time on Capitol Hill lobbying for pro-life legislation and has become one of the most recognizable faces in the pro-life movement.
The founder and president of Live Action has now written her own book, Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change in a Wounded World, which offers advice for others interested in joining the pro-life movement and issues a call for pastors and churches to start their own pro-life ministries. In the book, Rose also details what led her to convert to Catholicism.
Recalling how “abortion was almost never talked about” at her church growing up, Rose told CP that churches and people of faith have an important role to play in the pro-life movement. “I think the church, even good Christian people, are afraid of ruffling feathers. They’re afraid of offending … and many are not educated.”
“They don’t understand what’s exactly happening. They sense that something’s wrong in our culture, there are problems, but we’re so desensitized. Today, we’re so comfortable in many ways that sometimes we don’t see the battle that’s raging,” she added. “So the church absolutely has a role. But … if our pastors aren’t standing up and preaching the truth on Sunday mornings, and … if our church doesn’t have a pro-life ministry, the change begins with us.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
