John,
When we created the Baby Olivia video, we chose her name with careful intention.
Over the last few years, Olivia has been one of the most popular names in the world — a name widely recognized as beautiful.
It also means “olive tree” in Latin — a symbol of peace and hope that goes back to the days of Noah, the ancient Greeks, and even the early Church. Just like the olive branch, Olivia reminds us of the promise of new life, restoration, and God’s enduring peace.
Maybe you know an Olivia — a daughter, friend, sister, or even your own child — whose presence has positively impacted your life.
We picked the name because we wanted her to feel real, to reflect every baby’s humanity.
And she is real — not just because of the science showing her development but also because of what has happened since her video began changing hearts and saving lives.
One mother told us that, after watching Baby Olivia while pregnant, she rejected abortion (even though she had been considering it) — and then named her daughter Olivia!
That moment — her decision, her baby’s life, even her daughter’s name — was made possible because someone like you helped us create and promote Baby Olivia.
That daughter, Olivia, is here because of the generosity of Live Action donors. That is the power of your impact.
As we have shared before, Olivia has made it into public schools in four states. And now, we’re getting ready to introduce Baby Oliver — a powerful new companion to the Baby Olivia project, so we can reach even more people with the humanity of children in the womb.
John, countless babies who might be named Olivia need our loving activism just like the mother I told you about above needed us.
An ongoing commitment to Live Action will enable you to have a year-round, life-saving impact. Will you consider starting a monthly gift of $20.25 to help save lives in 2025 and reach over 8,200 people a year with the truth that every baby is precious, valuable, and worthy of life?
Save more “Olivias” by starting your monthly gift here: give.liveaction.org/become-a-life-defender-2025
When you begin this monthly gift before April 30, we’ll send you a free “it is good that you exist” hat. This hat will be a reminder of your ongoing gift in honor of the “Olivia” in your life and of the “Olivias” (and “Olivers”!) we have yet to meet.
Gratefully,
Josef Lipp
Chief Operating Officer
