Looking for someone to admire? I am so impressed with the things this girl has done!
Check out her biography, projects, and work at www.liveactionfilms.org. In a world dwindling with figures to be truly impressed with and admire - here is a great, YOUNG, example for all of us!
Below is a link to a youtube video of an interview w/ her and O'Reilly.
The first video from this investigative series can be seen at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLDGFzdPjBU

The video was taken down because she broke the law to obtain the information. I would have liked to see it to see exactly what information was presented on both sides, but I'm curious for your take on this.
Is it ok to break the law as long as it is for a greater good? I know you're not impressed with the morals and values of PP, but what about the morals and values of Lila Rose? I'm asking specifically about her breaking the law.
The video is still up- I was able to access it? I know that YouTube had censored them at one point then went back and un-censored them and all that whoopla. The video hasn't been contested by the PP Agency and from the fact that she has posted the video with the relevant verbiage (without it's legitimacy being contested) I'm thinking we're getting both sides here. That's the whole purpose of her going out and performing these 'sting operations' at these agencies who receive so much of our hard earned tax dollars $300 million last I heard- quite a sizable amount. She is very willing to give interviews (as you will also find on YouTube) with media figures and is extremely well-spoken while doing so.
Where is the law being broken here- the law in Indiana doesn't require consent of both parties being taped, only one. Which is why she did this here. If the law was broken other times she did it then she would've had to face the consequences and I have no doubt in my mind that she would have. I saw that she was sued at one point but that it was dropped when the case gained publicity for what was really going on. Do I condone her breaking the law for the greater good? No, I don't condone anyone breaking the law. Do I appreciate what she has uncovered in doing so, heck yes I do. She's not hiding the fact that she may have broken the law- she's forthright with all she has done. How many public figures and political figures can you say that about? We know that if people looked into Obama they'd find illegal activities so do we continue to support him just because they don't and that goes unanswered?
I don't condone her breaking the law, no, but I certainly condone why she does it and that the greater good is certainly being served by her taking it upon herself to do it. She is definitely a worthy character to me, worthy of admiration despite her shades of gray. Comparing the laws she broke to uncover the much more serious and disturbing laws that they are continually breaking that the law in the land is well aware of - I'd have to say that the latter takes the cake and deserves harsher punishment if there is ever punishment to be doled out to either.
Breaking the law to save the life of a child is something I'd also do however - so take that for what it is I suppose. Moral relativism alive and at work.
