Lila Rose was raised in San Jose, California, the third of eight children. She was home-schooled through to the end of high school, and was a history major at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). At the age of 15, Rose founded Live Action and began giving presentations to schools and youth groups, and continued her activism at UCLA. In 2009, she was invited to speak at the Values Voters Summit. Rose was featured in the 2010 CNN documentary Right on the Edge, which spotlighted young conservative activists.
Inspired by Texas activist Mark Crutcher’s taping of calls to Planned Parenthood clinics featuring women posing as pregnant minors, they came up with the idea to visit in the fall of 2006 several Planned Parenthood clinics wearing secret video cameras. Rose has conducted stings at Planned Parenthood clinics in and around several major cities since then. Rose shot an undercover video at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Birmingham, Alabama which resulted in the state placing the clinic on probation for a year. Her activism has focused on issues such as the high abortion rate in the African-American community – an effort that has received support from Alveda King.
Rose published undercover videos in February 2011 which were filmed in several different cities showing an unidentified man and woman posing as a pimp and aprostitute. They were soliciting advice from Planned Parenthood clinic workers on how to procure abortions and birth control for underage prostitutes. Rose said that the videos proved Planned Parenthood intentionally breaks laws and covers up abuse
