I thought it was quite good. You don't expect to get as fair a hearing on CNN as you would get on Fox News, but this wasn't too bad. They probably are trying to portray pro-lifers as radical and deceptive — and I guess the recent James O'Keefe episode won't help, but overall, yeah — I liked it.

I agree with a previous poster that it was not close to being as substantive as it could've been, but I guess the expose was about Lila, not necessarily the message. The exposure is great and the truth will eventually win out in the end.

The good: they're are many who watch CNN thinking it is "just a news source" and are unaware of it's liberal tendencies – these ppl will be affected positively. CNN didn't do much talking, that's good too, haha.

The bad: there are many who watch CNN who, no matter how fair or balanced that report was, will just be angry at it. We pray those ppl are affected positively by it. Also, when CNN did talk, it definitely shed things in a negative light.

Nonetheless, praise God….exposure!

I couldn't be more thrilled-pleased-excited. Lila is a modern day martyr (martyr means "witness") for the Truth. The truth about the preciousness of life-whether unborn or walking on two feet.

Well, it was lukewarm, meaning like warmed over pablum. The reporter did not give any comment, one way or the other, and chose footage that was also lukewarm. It would have fallen flat on someone on the edge, who has not made up their mind about where they stand, and left me, as an activist, wanting more substantial footage. Benign, would be a good word, but benign is not a positive expression, either. CNN did the barest minimum, and was not at all encouraging. She also looked like she was a bit of a oddity, dying her hair etc. and chewing gum. It is actually what I expected from CNN, a whole lot of air, and a definite lack of substantial positives. If that was all that they dared show of seven hours of open footage, Lila did her job, and CNN did theirs, which was to attempt to dim her light, but truly, she did shine, (she can't help it).

The piece is not bad at all. In my opinion the report was unbiased and did not seem to pass on "personal" partiality. Some may disagree but that is the nature of everything we read and watch. All of this must be internalized by the audience and that person will color the message as they see fit.

Also, those that think that more undercover footage should have been used or that the movement itself was not given enough air time are replacing their desires with that of CNN and the reporter, producer, etc. From the get go, the series that this is a part of seems to be aimed at profiling the drivers of the so-called "Right" agenda. Lila Rose and Live Action certainly fit that narrow definition.

That said, I do not place her or this excellent, inspiring organization on either side of the political spectrum. Ending abortion is not a political issue – it is a moral issue, a care human dignity issue.

I applaud you for your bravery and "creative extremism."

May the Lord bless you and keep you always.

Frankly, the first thought that came to my mind was how much CNN would love to make Lila's face recognizable to every pro-abortion counselor in America . . . but keep up the good work LiveAction and Lila.

I really appreciate that you leave the source for the statement "abortion increases risk of miscarriages by 55% in subsequent pregnancies" in your most recent video.

Though, I find it kind of funny that when I looked up the article on google scholar:
http://liveaction.org/blog/lila-rose-segment-on-c…
it instead says that:

"About 5.5% of pregnancies in the abortion cohort were miscarried and 4.0% in the reference cohort."

Do you know how to read scientific articles? Maybe your eye sight is bad and you missed the decimal and forgot that you would then need to average it between the 4.0% of miscarriages in the control group. You probably don't even know what a control group is.

I'm sure God really finds it inspiring how you're spreading lies to manipulate people into acting in accordance to your beliefs.

Plus, don't be such a dumb ass, if you're going to lie about stats at least don't leave me a direct path to your idiocy.

I was also worried when I saw the CNN logo on there. I thought they would paint her too as a extremist as someone who is hurting this country. But its great to see them actually pretty unbiased which doesn't happen a lot with CNN since they are a liberal left wing "news" organization.

I just wanted to add, to that clip in the video of the women arguing with Lila Rose. That when Pro-Abortionist say "It's my body. You can't tell me what to do with my body." You know that whole not truly thought of excuse. Its not our bodies purely anymore. We share our bodies with another life. You can do whatever the f*&ck you want with your own body but when theres another life inside you. until that life is out of your body and can make there own choice weather to live or not what gives us the right to kill a life? Your all for "choice" So why are you so for taking away the choice of that LIFE? And weather a pro-abortionist will admit it or not, its a life. Science has even proven its a life. Not just cells. Thats a life. So stop taking away that PERSONS CHOICE.

I liked a number of things about this documentary:

1. First appearance and comprehensive coverage on a major left-of-centre television network.

Lila Rose had previously appeared on various Fox News programs.  Although many people watch Fox, it is generally favoured by a conservative audience.  These viewers tend to be pro-life, so appearing solely on Fox could be considered a form of “preaching to the choir”.  CNN has a different viewership that includes people who dislike Fox News or (like me) lack access to the channel.  Expanding your audience is an essential, ongoing part of achieving your mission.  Appearing on this documentary allowed you to do that.

2. Lila Rose did most of the talking.

The CNN journalist did not say much, allowing Lila’s personality to shine through.  In fact, a large portion of the footage was taken behind the scenes from the Mona Lisa Project.  It is clear from watching the documentary that Lila is compassionate, enthusiastic, optimistic, and overall very easy to like.  One of my favourite parts is the scene in which she is confronted by a pro-abortion apologist.  The contrast here is remarkable.  Lila states that “The country that I want to live in is the country that protects ALL PEOPLES’ rights” (emphasis added).  In response, the pro-abortionist states that “The country that I want to live in is not telling ME what to do with MY BODY” (again, emphasis added).  Lila is concerned with protecting all humans, whereas her opponent is only interested in her own body.  I’m glad that we could see this key difference between pro-life and pro-choice.

3. Appearance of Planned Parenthood’s main PR executive.

He showed that he is more concerned with Live Action’s activities than the very real possibility that his clinics are covering up child abuse.  Enough said.

4. Brief sampling of one of Live Action’s investigations.

This showed only one scene, but it is one of the most significant.  It should shock the viewers who are unfamiliar with the investigation.  A good case could be made that the documentary should have highlighted more of Live Action’s findings, but the documentary was supposed to be primarily about profiling the activists rather than showcasing the results of their work.

5. Reference to Martin Luther King Jr.

Lila paraphrases a passage from the influential letter that Dr. King wrote while he was in a Birmingham jail, indicating that she was inspired by the civil rights leader’s call for “creative extremists”.  She later clarifies, noting that Martin Luther King was considered an extremist in his time just as pro-life advocates often are today.  Dr. King is one of the few people who all Americans respect (pro-life, pro-abortion, Republicans, and Democrats alike).  In a way, including this exchange in the documentary transcends any negative bias that CNN may have worked in (see below).  The next time CNN viewers see pro-lifers being described or portrayed as extremists, they will have to recall that MLK was also an extremist.

We will be supporting your PRO-life movement….The christian mother would support this…we will expose it to other prolife-movement!!! Thanks for spreading God’s mission…I’m sure you’ll be bless!!

Go Lila!    Just a little story for everyone. After my mother had passed away, my dad finally told me of her inner torture, that haunted her most of her adult life. When she was a young girl and had gotten married to her first husband, she had become pregnant at least twice. Her then husband insisted she have the babies aborted. She was young and easily influenced and had the abortions.  Finally when she became pregnant with “my older half brother” she finally left her husband so she could have the new baby. That baby was my wonderful brother! My father told me that all her life she lived with the guilt of what she done and was worried whether God would forgive her. My brother grew up and got married and had two children who have raised two beautiful families and I am now a great great uncle! Just a little story from me to you.

As a man  I believe you are doing a great thing. Only God gives life and He has the right to take it. Man does not.
