Projects
LDI engages in several special projects designed to advance the Pro-Life Movement.
Make a Stand for Those Who Can’t!
Corporate Funding (Boycott)
We seek to educate corporate officials about Planned Parenthood and convince them to stop funding the behemoth. A boycott allows pro-life people to avoid directly or indirectly funding the group’s deadly activities.
The Corporate Funding Project (CFP) has been enormously effective. It has been said the CFP boycott is the longest-running and most successful strategy of all time. With more than 300 victories, involving corporations large and small, there can be no doubt.
You will find more information and suggestions in The Boycott List.
Charity Watch
Charity Watch focuses on investigating and publishing the names of nonprofit entities that in some way advance the Culture of Death. This includes groups backing abortion, sexual promiscuity, physician-assisted suicide, euthanasia, and/or embryonic stem cell research and experimentation.
Nonprofits are regularly contacted to provide educational information and to request a change in policy.
Details about this project may be found in The Boycott List.
Celebrity Watch
Many celebrities have expressed support for legal abortion and/or Planned Parenthood. Some have merely lent their names to the pro-legal abortion effort. Others are actively involved, donating money as well as time. This information is presented to underscore Planned Parenthood's influence in the entertainment industry and with other well-known individuals.
Celebrity Watch identifies public figures who support Planned Parenthood's agenda in whole or in part. Categories include acting, music, writing, comedy, sports, lesser known celebrities, and others.
These men and women do not need our condemnation, for we, too, could have been listed here were circumstances different. What they need is prayer. We urge you to select at least two for prayer each day.

Advocacy
LDI professionally and articulately represents the pro-life position to the media and government officials. This applies to all levels (local, county, state, region, and nationwide)
As part of the Advocacy Project, LDI publishes material in several formats that take on politicians and governmental agencies when inaccuracies are spewed. This is especially true of political campaigns..
Challenge
Planned Parenthood’s insidious philosophy and goals should never go unchallenged. LDI stands ready to challenge Planned Parenthood at every level, in any forum, and whenever possible.
It is important that defenders of life know the facts, how to present the facts, and how to show the lunacy of pro-abortion claims.
Community Action
Activists are often faced with the presence or expansion of Planned Parenthood in their community. LDI offers proven strategies and tools to fight Planned Parenthood, thereby empowering caring people at the grassroots level to effectively challenge the deadly empire.
LDI investigates and publishes the names of nonprofit entities that in some way are helping advance the Culture of Death through practices such as abortion, promiscuity, assisted suicide, euthanasia, and/or embryonic stem-cell research.
Because It Matters
Even the most experienced pro-life activist can benefit from the Because It Matters project.
The project is designed to further educate those who recognize the sanctity of human life and act accordingly. Tips on life issues, strategies and how to better communicate our life-affirming message is helpful to everyone.
Dignity
The Dignity Project is our newest endeavor.
Every day, the battle for legalization of “physician-assisted suicide” gets an increasing amount of attention. This is obviously true in those states that have legalized the practice. It is also true in those states where the people or legislature are considering legalizing the deadly practice.
LDI wants to be a leading voice in opposition to physician-assisted suicide. We have the experience and are now becoming part of the debate — in states and provinces, nationally and internationally. Few pro-life organizations and leaders are speaking out on this important issue. This is not surprising. With limited time and resources, pro-life organizations have been forced to concentrate on specific matters at hand.
We at LDI believe it is important to discuss end of life issues and advance the pro-life position before the onset of legislative activity. Not just during or after. If we can begin to get ahead of this vital issue, pro-life influence will be amplified.
We work now to be prepared for the future.
Prayer
The Prayer Project was implemented in obedience to the biblical admonition to pray for our adversaries.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you . . . “ (Matthew 5:44-45)
Pro-life advocates are asked to pray for a selected abortion advocate or weak “pro-life” person each month. The names of selected individuals may be accessed by clicking on the link below.
