This article appears to be slanted towards recent events. Please try to keep recent events in historical perspective and add more content related to non-recent events.

Live Action is a pro-life group operating in the United States founded by Lila Rose in 2004.

Live Action received national attention in February 2011 for their undercover videos it made of a Planned Parenthood employee, whom they claim offered counseling to a pimp regarding abortions and testing for his alleged underage sex workers.

Planned Parenthood has vehemently denied Live Action's allegations that they condone or support sexual slavery and statutory rape. Planned Parenthood also states that the actions by one of their employees was inexcusable, and fired the employee in question.

A Salon.com editorial criticized the visit as a "James O'Keefe-style 'sting' in which deceptively edited Internet videos would prove that some organization dedicated to providing services to the poor or otherwise non-privileged was in fact engaged in high crimes and conspiracy against freedom." It was also dismissed by some as another "hoax" perpetuated by "anti-choice groups" "in order to entrap clinic staff."

In 2010, another sting by Live Action on a Birmingham Planned Parenthood clinic led to a state investigation and the clinic being placed on probation by the Department of Health for what the state described as a "technical violation."
