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.

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement, NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.
