Celebrate Life Dinner

2010 Celebrate Life Dinner--
Tuesday, September 28, 2010--6:00 pm
Indianapolis Convention Center

2010 Keynote Speaker:  Lila Rose

Lila, the third of eight children in a homeschooling family, grew up in San Jose, California. Her first involvement in pro-life activism was through a fundraiser for a local community pregnancy center she participated in at age 9.  At age 15, Lila founded Live Action as a means to reach her peers with the pro-life message.

In May 2007, Lila released her first investigation of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, posing undercover in two Los Angeles Planned Parenthood clinics as a 15-year-old girl impregnated by her 23-year-old boyfriend. Neither clinic reported the clear case of sexual abuse, and one counselor coached Lila to lie about her age so the clinic would not have to report the incident. After the recordings garnered national media attention, Planned Parenthood threatened to sue Lila, but soon backed down as media pressure mounted.

Lila has since launched several successful undercover investigations exposing racism and statutory rape cover-up at Planned Parenthood. Her brave work has revealed new evidence to build a strong case against the abortion industry and lobby.

Lila’s most recent undercover work, Live Action’s multi-state investigation “The Mona Lisa Project,” vividly illustrates how Planned Parenthood’s ‘abortion-first mentality’ leads it to disregard state laws meant to protect young girls, instead sending them back into the arms of their sexual abusers. “The Mona Lisa Project” has prompted officials in several states to take action against Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood affiliates are the subject of ongoing investigations in Indiana and Alabama, and the Tennessee legislature recently voted to end up to $1.1 million in taxpayer subsidies to the abortion provider.

In 2008, Lila was awarded an inaugural Life Prize by the Gerard Health Foundation. Lila is a frequent guest on radio and television programs, including The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity's America, The Glenn Beck Show, and The Laura Ingraham Show. Numerous newspapers and blogs have also covered her work, including feature pieces by Reuters, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, Salon Magazine Online, Washington Times, and National Review. The Associated Press and UPI frequently publish stories on Live Action's work, and Lila speaks at national and international pro-life events. Lila is a history major at UCLA. When not traveling or in school, Lila enjoys recreational boxing, writing, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends.
