The Fort Liberty Garrison Public Affairs Office admitted that images being circulated on social media did reveal that a presentation was shown to soldiers guarding the base, to be on the lookout for anti-abortion “terrorist groups” National Right to Life and Operation Rescue Notice.
The public affairs office said it was done as a seminar training. Soldiers were also warned to take notice of vehicles around the base that hard car license tags with the label “IM4IT”, or those who has a “Choose Life” vanity license plate, which is sold in 34 states. Soldier were told these individuals could be also terrorist.
“Keep in mind, they’re not labeling them as extremist organizations but as terrorist organizations and service-members are being indoctrinated to view Pro-Life groups as the enemy,” reported the Examiner. “These slides will no longer be used, and all future training products will be reviewed to ensure they align with the current DoD anti-terrorism guidance,” the spokesperson said. “In our over 50-year history, National Right to Life has always, consistently, and unequivocally, condemned violence against anyone,” Tobias said. 
The presentation shown to soldiers warned that the pro-life groups could use potentially “dangerous” tactics described as demonstrations and protest, truth display, picketing, and sidewalk counseling.
According a spokesperson, the slides were developed by a local garrison employee to train soldiers manning access control points at Fort Liberty.
The presentation’s depiction of National Right to Life was criticized by the organization’s president, Carol Tobias.
