Army Presentation Included Condemnation of Pro-Lifers as Terrorists

A presentation offered on a U.S. Army base for soldiers being prepared to guard the perimeter of the operation openly bashed pro-life organizations, including National Right to Life and Operation Rescue, as “terrorist groups.”

The base, in a statement, bluntly said such comments were not authorized by the base and no longer would be allowed. But it was not clear exactly who, if anyone, was being blamed.

The false claims appeared in a social media posting that featured the image of the “Terrorist Groups” list with the Operation Rescue and National Right to Life Logos embedded.

It said, “The slide you see here followed right after a slide about ISIS, a terror group in the Middle East. The organizations labeled by the army as terror organizations include National Right to Life and Operation Rescue. They also included a screenshot of a license plate with ‘IM4IT,’ which is a plate many pro-life citizens put on their car which implies normal citizens are terrorists if they display this plate. The slide goes on to mention activities which these organizations participate in which include being pro-life, opposing Row (sic) v Wade, demonstrating and protesting (a 1st Amendment protected right), ‘Truth Displays,’ and picketing.” . . .

The report said, “The presentation slide, photographed by an anonymous person in the briefing room on Wednesday and published on social media by a pseudonymous account, highlights common tactics used by anti-abortion activists as possibly dangerous, including ‘demonstrations and protest,’ ‘truth display,’ ‘picketing,’ and sidewalk counseling.” (Read more from “Army Presentation Included Condemnation of Pro-Lifers as Terrorists” HERE)
