Update: Fort Liberty Excludes Operation Rescue in Statement Disavowing 'Terrorist Groups' Training Slide

Update: Fort Liberty Excludes Operation Rescue in Statement Disavowing ‘Terrorist Groups’ Training Slide

WICHITA, Kan., July 24, 2024 /Standard Newswire/ -- Operation Rescue recently reported that Fort Liberty, a U.S. Army installation in North Carolina, was caught training soldiers using a slide falsely identifying Operation Rescue and others as "terrorist groups." After a whistleblower posted an image of the slide on X, a Fort Liberty representative told a local news agency this type of training, which contained the slide, was typically conducted every two to three weeks.

Since then, in a letter dated July 16 to U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC), U.S. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth admitted the slide had been used for "at least" seven years.

The letter included the following statement:

    "I want to state unequivocally that non-profit groups such as National Right to Life and PETA, are not terrorist groups and should not be described as such in Army documents or training materials."

"Her statement is bizarre since PETA, an animal rights group, was not on the referenced slide at all," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "However, Operation Rescue, which was featured most prominently on the slide, was overtly absent from her statement."

Operation Rescue has never been associated with any form of violence but uses legal investigative techniques to expose the violence of the Abortion Cartel. As the largest civil disobedience movement in American history, over 75,000 arrests were made for peaceful non-violent intervention on behalf of preborn children in the late 80s and 90s.

"This slide decrying Operation Rescue was not used once or twice, but approximately 150 times over a seven-year period," said Newman. "Yet officials are claiming it was not vetted by the proper authorities. This is unbelievably irresponsible.

"Operation Rescue has yet to receive an apology or acknowledgement of this profoundly offensive inaccuracy. I hope legal action isn't required to bring resolution in this matter."

Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the U.S. Our goal is to expose abortion abuses, demand enforcement, save innocent lives, and build an Abortion-Free America.
