WI ANTI-ABORTION GROUPS CRITICAL OF RNC COMMITTEE FOR DROPPING FEDERAL ABORTION BAN FROM PLATFORM: (Wisconsin Examiner) –
“Wisconsin anti-abortion groups are calling for tougher restrictions on abortion in the national Republican party platform, after the Republican National Committee’s platform committee decided Monday to drop federal abortion limits from its policy platform for the first time in over 40 years at the request of former President Donald Trump. Draft platform language now says that states should be allowed to make the decision to adopt policies limiting abortion. Next week, the Republican National Convention will meet in Milwaukee and finalize the adoption of its national party platform. Pro-Life Wisconsin Legislative Director Matt Sande told the Wisconsin Examiner that the decision to leave out the language on federal abortion restrictions is ‘wrong.’ He said the country is in the second stage of the fight after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and that the ‘patchwork’ of abortion laws across the country cannot be the end. ‘The pre-born baby
should not lose their rights moving from state to state, so we do need a national goal. It should be upheld as a goal,’ Sande said. ‘It should be in the platform. For them to just say, ‘No, we’re not going to deal with this at the federal level anymore. We’re deflecting this to the states.’ It’s a huge mistake.’ Sande said that the national party shouldn’t be watering down its position on abortion for political expediency. ‘If that’s what the Republicans are doing with this, shame on them,’ Sande said.”

PRO-LIFE GROUPS SLAP BACK AT 'TERRORIST' DESIGNATION FROM FORT LIBERTY: (Blaze News) –
“A U.S. Department of Defense briefing given July 10 at Fort Liberty in North Carolina described two prominent pro-life
organizations as ‘terrorist groups,’ a characterization that brought swift rebuke from national and local pro-life leaders. A slide from the anti-terrorism awareness briefing was posted on social media late on July 10 by DOD whistleblower Samuel Shoemate, who received it from a U.S. Army soldier who was in the training meeting at Fort Liberty, formerly known as Fort Bragg. The slide has garnered 1.5 million views on X. […] The offending slide was titled ‘Terrorist Groups’ and included the logos of National Right to Life and Operation Rescue. It described them as pro-life but also said they ‘oppose Row [sic] v. Wade’ and are tied to ‘bombings of clinics’ and ‘attempted murders.’ It also showed an image of a ‘Choose Life’ license plate from New York. Choose Life license plates are available in a variety of designs in 33 states and the District of Columbia, according to Choose Life America Inc. The plates have raised more than $29 million for
crisis pregnancy centers. […]The DOD has a history of besmirching pro-life groups, according to Dan Miller, state director of Pro-Life Wisconsin near Milwaukee. ‘The DOD has pegged us as domestic terrorists for a long time,’ Miller told Blaze News. ‘Pro-lifers in general have been listed as domestic terrorists by the Obama administration. There was a small blip with [President Donald] Trump in there, but now with [President Joe] Biden, they’re back to the same old game.’ Miller said pro-life groups are about saving lives, not taking them, and they don’t condone or use violence.”
