Fort Liberty in North Carolina is facing criticism this week after a training slide circulated on social media purported to show the U.S. Army base referring to pro-life organizations as "terrorist groups" and highlighted people who have pro-life license plates on their cars as potential threats.
The viral photo shows a slide used in the briefing titled "Terrorist Groups" that cited the activist organizations National Right to Life and Operation Rescue as examples.
The slide listed various forms of pro-life advocacy, such as counseling women outside of abortion facilities and displaying a "Choose Life" license plate as examples of concerning behavior. These license plates raise funds for pro-life pregnancy centers, nonprofit organizations that provide women facing unexpected pregnancies with free resources.
The presentation did not appear to distinguish between law-abiding and illegal pro-life activities, as it listed counseling on the sidewalk or at pregnancy centers in the same slide that highlighted a tactic labeled "The Rescue." This form of activism usually consists of pro-lifers risking arrest to pass out pregnancy help information to women inside of abortion facilities. Pro-lifers who utilize this tactic may leave before the police arrive or stage a sit-in, which typically results in an arrest.
The slide also appeared to insinuate that all of the actions listed were examples of someone who could bomb an abortion facility or commit violence against abortion workers.
