Who is Lila Rose?

You may already have heard of Lila Rose who is an American anti abortion activist. We all have our views on abortion so I don’t want to raise people’s emotions, instead I want to look at Lila’s views and the interview that I’ve linked to.

After watching the interview, I had a look at Lila’s channel on YouTube. She is a Catholic woman and it appears she believes sex is so sacred that it should be reserved for after marriage. I’ve seen that in those who

believe this so strongly, it affects their views on everything including womanhood and abortion.

I also think once you believe this you  believe there is no need for abortion.

I don’t entirely disagree with Lila because I am quite conservative myself. However a significant proportion of the population is not. I actually wonder if Lila finds different beliefs degenerate and baffling. Is this not similar to when people are so blindsided by ideology they merely pay lip service to people’s individuality?

This is the impression I get based on what I’ve observed about Lila.

On a societal level I do see the harm in the culture we have. I think sex should be more sacred and my stance on abortion is that myself and those around me would not be happy to get one. For us it is not a means of birth control and I’m surprised when anti abortion advocates like Lila, the red pill community, anti feminists and the manosphere say multiple women celebrate abortion.

In England we look at the pregnancy to fetus to newborn timeline in a clinical manner rather than think a baby is born at the time of conception. At the same time it is still a very emotional issue.

I don’t agree with mocking Lila though. Some comments have just attacked her, pure and simple. Instead I would like to hear her views as much as I want to hear a pro choice activist views. The Triggernometry podcast is amazing for engaging in such discussions.

I’ll also link to another video below where to paraphrase Kit, I wonder where the money given to Lila’s organisation Live Action goes to once the baby is born? Is Live Action only concerned about the unborn child or do they actually help struggling children and families?

Finally, I want to address the p*rn issue. I have seen that it does contribute to further objectification of women. Whereas my male peers have not noticed, wilfully even, I have myself have experienced strangers touch my body (bottom specially). I’m specific with detail because if I said I’d experienced physical harassment some might say, do you just mean a hand on your shoulder?

I think p*rn of any kind contributes to all women being objectified, combined with male testosterone and immaturity. Online is more dangerous than a couple of page 3/playboy posters because of the violence and bigger sex trafficking issues.

So I understand Lila saying it should be banned. I can also see how it affects relationships and the pressure women feel to emulate a p*rn star. Whilst at the same time women themselves may like to be physically dominated, there is a distinction between that and a woman dying because her partner has strangled her in sex.

I think also there is a disparity between those who have security in the form of religion, family and money and those who don’t have good parental figures and have to make their own way in the world more.

So this brings me onto the point of view of young men. As the Trig hosts said they’ve been young and testosterone is no joke. Boys do need an outlet for that.

In conclusion, I offer no solution but I don’t agree with an outright ban. When we discuss various issues in society we do need to think about all the citizens.

I commend the interview the Trig guys did with Lila Rose as were many good points as discussion ought to provide.
