National Right to Life Responds to Fort Liberty Presentation

WASHINGTON — According to documentation circulating on social media and confirmed in a statement by Fort Liberty, an anti-terrorism briefing created by a local garrison employee equated National Right to Life with terrorist groups and accused NRLC of fomenting violence and clinic bombings. ‘In a presentation that is deeply offensive to pro-life Americans across the nation, Fort Liberty promoted outright lies about National Right to Life in a demonstration of lazy scholarship,’ said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. ‘In our over 50-year history, National Right to Life has always, consistently, and unequivocally, condemned violence against anyone.’ The presentation accused pro-life Americans of ‘terrorist activities’ if they opposed ‘Row v. Wade [sic],’ supported pregnancy centers, participated in sidewalk counseling, displayed pro-life license plates, or were involved in other peaceful activities. Continued Tobias, ‘One must wonder how a license plate that raises funds for pregnancy resource centers could be construed as a symbol of terrorism.’ National Right to Life’s retired logo was used on the slide as an example. ‘Only under the Biden Administration can peaceful law-abiding citizens and their peaceful activities be considered ‘terrorism’’ said Tobias. ‘The Biden Administration promotes the deaths of preborn babies and advocates for unlimited abortion, but peaceful pro-life Americans are labeled ‘terrorists.” National Right to Life has always worked to protect innocent lives threatened by abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia and seeks to protect this right regardless of a person’s race, creed, background, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
