Groups
- Army of God: "a pro-life organization that honors those who murder abortion providers as 'heroes'" according to [1]
Slogans
- Life is a gift, not a choice.
- "Abortion stops a beating heart." – only if the embryo is old enough to have one (apparently happens sometime during the 5th to 8th weeks of pregnancy), and so does capital punishment, eating meat (until vat-grown meat is available, anyway), hunting (for sport or food)...
- "Your mother chose life." Not everyone is happy with this, despite popular assumption.
- "Abortion: the worst kind of child abuse." Killing an entity with no nerves, much less consciousness, is worse than child abuse?
- "As a former fetus, I oppose abortion." As a former fetus, I support it.
