Ms. Rose has made many headlines in recent years because of her undercover investigative journalism which has exposed many flaws in the system, specifically with Planned Parenthood. In her most recent video, Ms. Rose shows the willingness of a Planned Parenthood employee to ignore state laws which require the notification of authorities in the case of statutory rape. Posing as a 13 year old girl, Ms. Rose captures the entire incident on tape. I was shocked to learn that this organization receives over 300 million dollars a year in Federal funding.
Her voice is being heard.
I contacted Lila after seeing her videos. I wanted to know if she ever speaks to young people about her work and her beliefs. After a 5 minute phone call I was blown away by the passion and knowledge that she possesses for her cause. I was also further aware that media is no longer in the control of the large institutions. Because of technology and the internet, it is moving into the hands of those that are the hungriest.
Lila Rose has not only helped polarized my beliefs on this issue. She has reminded me what it means to stand for truth without fear. Christ stood for truth without fear. A peaceful, passionate voice that spoke truth to the world. He lived without fear. In John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". In John 6:35 Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty". Not exactly playing it safe. Jesus spoke truth so loudly that the book of John goes on to tell us that many of His disciples turned away and followed Him no more. I hope I live the same way...without concern for what others will think about truth. Let us not concern ourselves with who will leave us if we speak truth, but who will be set free when they hear it.
Thank you Lila.
