Pro-Lifers: The Most Dangerous Domestic Terrorists?

JOIN 347 OTHERS

The Department of Homeland Security has labeled you, a member of the pro-life community, a DANGEROUS DOMESTIC TERRORIST.  Why would our government single out groups like pro-life supporters when they should be focusing on identifying and apprehending the real terrorists — like al-Qaeda — groups that have vowed to destroy America?  This characterization is not only offensive to millions of Americans who hold constitutionally-protected views opposing abortion — but also raises serious concerns about the political agenda of an agency with a mandate to protect America.  This is a dangerous precedent.  It is troubling in its scope.  It is wrong as a matter of public policy and it targets the fundamental free speech rights of citizens of the United States.  Please read the form below carefully and declare your membership with the BeHeard Project by adding your name to our Demand for Retraction to Homeland Security.

Demand for Retraction

To: 
The Department of Homeland Security

As a pro-life citizen of the United States of America, I am gravely concerned by the inflammatory statements within the Department’s newly-released warning entitled:  “Rightwing Extremism:  Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”

To label pro-lifers as “rightwing extremists” and “domestic terrorists” is incorrect as a matter of law and wrong as a matter of policy.  This type of unconstitutional language targets peace-loving, pro-American citizens of the United States and their fundamental First Amendment rights.

I respectfully demand an immediate and full retraction.  It’s time to target the REAL terrorists — focus your attention on rooting out those people who are bent on causing harm to our country and REMOVE the pro-life community from this warning.
