Dear John,
Last time I wrote to you about Operation Save America, it was to highlight that charging people who have abortions with murder has been expressed by both supporters of Operation Save America and sitting lawmakers. [1]
Now, Operation Save America is planning another in-person event, and they’re advertising Roy Moore as one of the speakers.
As a refresher, Roy Moore is the former state supreme court chief justice from Alabama whose Senate campaign came to a screeching halt when multiple women came forward and accused Moore of sexually assaulting them when they were teenagers and Moore was in his 30s. [2]
One of the other advertised speakers is a man named George Grant, who in 1993 published a book lamenting the fact that members of the LGBTQ community are no longer executed in this country for their sexuality. [3]
These are the faces of Big ‘Pro-Life’: an accused pedophile, a violent homophobe, and a man who recently used his Facebook to suggest the murder of government officials. [4]
One thing continues to be clear: Big ‘Pro-Life’ is pro-violence.
In safety and solidarity,
Kara Mailman

P.S. Despite the ongoing pandemic, anti-abortion groups like Operation Save America are still determined to punish people for their abortions – check out our #StopProsecutingAbortion campaign to learn more.
