Children, The Heart of America

Oregon Right to Life 2013 Conference

Keynote Speakers: Karen Handel & Lila Rose.

Most recently, Karen wrote the book, "Planned Bullyhood - The Truth Behind the Planned Parenthood Funding Battle with Susan G. Komen for the Cure", based on her experience as Komen's Senior Vice President of Public Policy. With her book, Karen took the courageous step to stand up to the bully tactics of Planned Parenthood. She exposes the country's leading abortion provider as a liberal political machine willing to destroy anyone or any organization to advance its agenda and secure the continued flow of nearly 1.5 million a day in government funding to its coffers. As Georgia's first elected Republican Secretary of State, Karen led the state's implementation of photo ID for voting, which became the national model for the law. She successfully defended and implemented the law during the 2008 presidential elections, which saw record minority and overall voter participation Karen ran for governor in 2009, but ultimately lost in the primary run-off.

Lila Rose, a recent UCLA graduate, has dedicated herself to building a culture of life and ending abortion. At age fifteen, Lila founded Live Action, a pro-life nonprofit which specializes in investigative journalism, media and youth education. Lila currently serves as President of Live Action.  Lila has led numerous undercover investigations exposing corruption and illegal activity at Planned Parenthood, the nation's biggest abortion chain. Her work has documented rampant sexual abuse coverup, racism, medical misinformation, the willingness to assist sex traffickers, and false statements made by Planned Parenthood executives. Lila is a frequent guest on radio and television programs, including The O'Reilly Factor, The Glenn Beck Show, CNN, EWTN, and The Laura Ingraham Show.
