Lila Rose was called the Messenger-In-Chief of the pro-life movement by VICE news, the face of the Millennial anti-abortion movement by the Atlantic, and the fiercest opponent of abortion by the BBC. Lila is a writer, speaker, and activist who founded and serves as president of Live Action, a national human rights organization with the largest online impact among pro-life and pro-abortion groups reaching over 46 million per month and over 2 billion lifetime video views. Lila has devoted her life to ending abortion and making America a more welcoming place to raise a family. Lila was named among the National Journal’s “25 Most Influential Washington Women Under 35”, and Christianity Today’s “33 Under Thirty-Three.”
Lila speaks internationally on family and cultural issues and has addressed members of the European Parliament and spoken at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Lila is the author of ‘Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change in a Wounded World.” She is the host of “The Lila Rose Show,” a podcast that tackles relationships, faith, culture, and politics. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Lila lives in California with her husband, two sons, and daughter.
