Live Action News – Last December, rapper Eminem released a new album, “Revival.” The first single, titled “River,” has received heavy airplay on radios and is currently rising on the Billboard charts. But the song has gained notoriety because of its heavy subject matter: abortion. The lyrics not only discuss abortion, but show deep regret and pain, in…
Seven years ago this fall, Lauren Urrea felt her world was crashing into a million pieces as she faced the undeniable, yet somehow unbelievable, reality that she was pregnant. For the first time in her life, Lauren found herself questioning—even if for a brief moment—her most foundational beliefs about God, family, career and most importantly,…
A common charge that is brought against pro-life advocates is that they are too obsessed with abortion. In a way, it is an understandable reaction. The abortion issue is very uncomfortable for a lot of people, so it’s not surprising that most do not want to hear about it very often. The common feeling is…

The practice of tolerance is essential to a peaceful society. Tolerance is defined as “A fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions, beliefs, and practices that differ from one’s own.” Indeed, without deference towards the beliefs and opinions of others—even when we believe them to be incorrect—our world would be in a frantic state of…
Having journeyed across the ocean, escaping from a world apart from ours, a refugee couple from Afghanistan were facing a new worry. The wife was pregnant, and they had nowhere to turn. But as they drove down a street one day, our vibrant teal van caught their eye as it sat in the empty parking…
Is adoption really an alternative to abortion? This question used to be easier for me to answer. I thought it was fairly cut and dry – one ends in life, the other in death, and the only other difference was roughly nine months. But then I became a mom. I realized that pregnancy and childbirth…
We often talk about the fact that we don’t have the right to decide whether the unborn will live or die. But what if we know already that death is certain to be their fate? Last year a woman named Valerie wrote an article for the New York Times about her difficult abortion experience. Her…
“The abortion clinic only offered me one choice: Abortion. They never asked what I needed, how I was feeling, or if I even wanted an abortion. They wouldn’t even talk with me about another option.” “My baby was 5 ½ weeks old in the womb, and the nurse told me it just a “clump of…
Live Action News — Tracey Kirby was shocked and excited when she learned she was pregnant with three boys—one singleton and a set of twins. But at 18-19 weeks, doctors found that the twins had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, in which the blood vessels of the twins’ shared placenta are connected, resulting in one twin receiving too much…
Live Action News — The pro-abortion lobby claims to be “pro-choice” — but a big part of choice (especially when experiencing an unplanned pregnancy) is having all the information to make an informed decision, especially when you are considering having an abortion. The choice to have an abortion is a monumental one, something life-changing for the…
Ever heard a fishing story? I’ve heard a few, and I’ve noticed something: the fish usually grows every time the story is told. Of course, escaped fish aren’t the only things that constantly get bigger—so does the number of women predicted to die if abortion is outlawed. Estimates can climb to hundreds of thousands or…
My husband and I were thrilled to find out we were pregnant with our seventh kiddo! We knew our kids would be equally as excited and so we wanted to tell them in an extra special way. Let’s just say it was a celebration! So celebratory in fact, that it hasn’t stopped since. I was…
Planned Parenthood and NARAL have long argued that abortion must be a fundamental right of women and have linked it to feminism. Couching abortion in terms like “reproductive freedom” and “autonomy,” they argue that a primary reason women have increased in social power is because they have the power to control the lives in their…
Live Action News — Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Despite all its scandals over the years, the pro-abortion mainstream media has largely kept the evidence of this from taxpayers. Perhaps it’s because the media approves of Planned Parenthood’s agenda, and the agenda of the politicians who defend the organization. The media manipulates the American public by refusing to…
This article originally appeared on Alexis Hernandez’s blog Me and My Sweet P. “What about your education and track?” “You are so young!” “You are going to ruin your life, our lives, and that baby’s life.” These are just some of the words I heard after announcing that I was pregnant. I was told that…
It’s common to talk to women physically or psychologically damaged by abortions, who say, “I had no idea this could happen; no one told me about the risks.” Unfortunately, the large body of evidence indicating significant abortion risks has been suppressed and ignored. This suppression is made possible by pro-choice advocates who zealously oppose any…
Live Action News – A new Live Action video release unmasks the oft-repeated claim that taxpayer dollars sent to Planned Parenthood do not fund abortions. The abortion corporation, which masquerades as a “health care” provider, receives half a billion dollars in government money annually, which they claim is merely reimbursement for services rendered under Medicaid. The largest provider of abortions, garnering 35 percent…
Terms like “pro-life” and “pro-choice” are automatically polarizing. The moment you choose to share your beliefs about abortion with another is often the moment they stop listening. The issue has been hashed and rehashed. It’s all too easy to forget that we are talking to real people. Many of the very women we speak with…
I was 17 when I met him. We worked together at a local store. He was 21 and I was so ecstatic when he asked me out on a date. We quickly began a tumultuous relationship. I was young and so vulnerable. I thought I was so cool for snagging a guy that had his…
