Defense Dept. Labels Pro-Lifers As Terrorists
Several pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life and Operation Rescue, were labeled as terrorist entities during an anti-terrorism briefing at Fort Liberty in North Carolina.
One of the briefing slides that had been leaked and has since gone viral, linked pro-life activities such as opposing Roe v. Wade and picketing to terrorism, whilst falsely attributing bombings which occurred at abortion facilities to National Right to Life.
Slides in the presentation which followed the pro-life organizations were legitimate terrorist organizations such as ISIS.
I wonder what "peaceful" activist group the author of this presentation is part of.

Another of the activities given by the presenter which, according to them, linked pro-lifers to terrorism were “mass demonstrations.”
This means the March for Life, which is the largest human rights demonstration in the United States and was started after Roe v. Wade was passed by the U.S. Supreme Court, is one example of “terrorism” according to the presentation.
Pro-lifers who take part in Life Chain, a peaceful assembly of individuals who silently pray outside of facilities where abortions take place, were also labeled as taking part in terrorist activities.
Furthermore, a leaked image of a presentation slide included a picture of a “Choose Life” license plate according to the pro-abortion group the Guttmacher Institute, this license plate is an identifier of a pro-life individual and is condemnable.
I had a Choose Life license plate my entire time on Active Duty (still have it). I left Active Duty 3 and a half years ago—that’s how fast you can change the military. Something else started 3 and a half years ago, can’t put my finger on it… pic.twitter.com/00jUfaSwDm

Fyi, these license plates are sold in 34 out of the 50 states.
The classification of those who seek to end the brutality of this death cult which murders innocent children as “terrorists”, has led to outrage and rightfully so!
It’s not a good look for the U.S. Department of Defense to be indoctrinating service members by painting pro-life Americans as enemies of the state.
I took an anti-terrorism course out of Switzerland and they used pro-lifers as a group to watch out for. That was just a few years ago. Crazy to see this now happening here in America. https://t.co/AgdHCcofeJ

According to the Washington Examiner, who spoke with a spokesperson from Ft. Liberty Garrison Public Affairs office, the slides from this presentation “were not vetted by the appropriate approval authorities, and do not reflect the views of the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Liberty, the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense.”
“The slides were developed by a local garrison employee to train Soldiers manning access control points at Fort Liberty,” said the spokesperson.
“These slides will no longer be used, and all future training products will be reviewed to ensure they align with the current DoD anti-terrorism guidance.”
