Pro-life organizations have reportedly been categorized alongside terror groups in an anti-terrorism briefing at Fort Liberty in North Carolina.
The presentation featured a slide focused on ISIS – the Middle East terror organization which has long sought to install a caliphate across Syria and Iraq, and then the rest of the world.
Following that slide, attendees were informed of “terrorist groups” largely centered on anti-abortion and pro-life organizations including Operation Rescue and National Right to Life.
Such groups may engage in “terrorist” activities including demonstrations and protest, life chains, and picketing. In addition, a potential enemy of the state may have a personalized number plate such as “IM4IT” while also objecting to Roe v Wade.
When X user @samosaur shared the presentation online, he noted that pro-life activists had been labeled “terrorist” organizations rather than the lesser “extremist”.
Social media commenters were critical of the Department of Defense for classifying pro-life groups as terrorist organizations.
Others were less than impressed with the presentation’s apparent lack of attention to detail.
One user who said he was an antiterrorism officer within the Army assured social media users that this was an isolated incident. Arguing a pro-life stance, Sean Lulofs said he was “seeing pushback” against the Department of Defense’s move to the left.
It is not the first time under Joe Biden’s administration that Fort Liberty has come under heavy scrutiny. The military installation was previously called Fort Bragg after Confederate General Braxton Bragg. However, since March 2022, nine U.S. Army installations have faced renaming due to their connection to Confederate figures.
