A recent anti-terrorism briefing at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in North Carolina has sparked controversy by labeling several pro-life organizations as 'terrorist groups.' The briefing materials, which followed a slide about ISIS, included prominent anti-abortion groups such as National Right to Life and Operation Rescue. The Defense Department, under the Biden Administration, has faced backlash from various political figures and organizations. Representative Elise Stefanik called for an immediate investigation, while Senator Ted Budd condemned the labeling and initiated contact with Army officials. Following the public outcry, the Army has reportedly ceased using the controversial briefing materials.
