Live Action

I relate to the way Charlie lived in some ways because he started his organization at age 18, which is very unusual, by the way, and it was a very controversial and highly public organization.

I started my organization, Live Action, when I was 15, and it has been and is continues to be a very public, high visibility, and sometimes high controversy, controversy work.

And in my 20s, I spent most of my time on the road.

I would be 50% of the time every single week before I got married on the road speaking for pro-life events and doing rallying for the pro-life cause.

I would be fundraising for Live Action and the pro-life movement.

I would be meeting with people and trying to grow the pro-life movement.

So I can relate to in that way the fact that Charlie's entire life was his mission.

And I think people who criticize it don't understand.

Yeah.

Um, I recommend, uh, Live Action, so liveaction.org is the website, and they have a lot of, uh-

Okay

... resources that can help you.

And meanwhile, the FDA is facing pressure over its safety review of the abortion pill Mifepristone.

So joining us now to discuss all of this is live action spokesperson Kimberly Byrd.

Kimberly, thanks so much for being here.

Thank you so much for having me, guys.

So I think right now we're like, "Okay, how do we do that together?" Um, but yeah, I think we're excited.

We're going to a really cool event in October with, um, Live Action, and, uh, what's really special to me is, like, that's how I got banned from the internet, was posting about, um, being pro-life.

Yeah.

And so now I get to go, like, be a, be a voice for that.

I saw the comment sections on her reel from people on the right and people on the left talking about how they just loved seeing women talking to women, and it was so wholesome.

And she had a lot of people jump on her page that were from the pro-life side, and I know Lila Rose kind of made a reaction to what she did, and a lot of people came over from Live Action and were supporting her.

And I almost think because of some of the depravity that comes out of people who watch, you know, very leftist content on the internet and people who do mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk, she was getting [laughs] some really harsh comments from people on the left, people in her own audience saying that, you know, "All someone has to do is give you money, and you're gonna do a whole right-wing shift," even though that wasn't what was happening.

And I kind of interpreted it as her trying to kinda win over her audience a little bit.

Thank you, Mary Regina, as always.

Well, keeping to another important subject in the same vein, we've got Kimberly Bird with Live Action calling, uh, in and checking in with us, and, uh, first of all, Kimberly, welcome back to the program.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

And, and they continue to this day with their disgraceful mission.

Unbelievable.

You know, um, a lot of defenders of Planned Parenthood say, "Oh, you know, we need these prenatal care services." Well, at Live Action, we ran the numbers, and there are 56 abortions for every one prenatal care service.

So 97% of the time when women come-

And that you lead us every single step of the way.

And I pray you bless Lila, bless the team, bless live action, bless everything that this ministry is doing, Lord God, because we know that they are doing so much to save so many lives and to bring so many closer to you.

And we love you and we honor you.

Forgive us for our sins and continue to lead us in all truth.

She's a human rights activist.

She founded and serves as the president of Live Action, which is a marvelous media and news nonprofit that's dedicated to ending abortion and inspiring a culture that respects all human life.

This is a perfect segue, by the way, from our conversation with Dr. Michael New.

You should know that Lila has spoken internationally on family and cultural issues.

There was nothing going on in the Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area, for pro-life education for young people.

So I was like, okay, well, I'm going to just try to start something, I guess.

And that was, you know, that heartbreak, that, you know, education, learning was Sticking with it inspired me ultimately to start live action.

Wow.
