Anti-Choice Handbook.
Amanda Marcotte writes a piece for RH Reality Check about the training manual she obtained from "pro-life" group Justice For All. Link here.
The link to the actual parts of the manual she scanned is here. It is one of the most disturbing things I've ever read in my life. I strongly, strongly recommend you read as much of it as you can stand to read, and you need to link this far and wide. People need to understand the lies these people are being fed, and which they spew in turn.
This is the manual used to train protesters in how to debate, derail, and blame. It trains them to sound compassionate, yet you will note the complete lack of compassion there, the focus on hiding one's actual opinions until such time as you have derailed the other person and forced them into a corner. It is raddled with straw-man arguments, blatant falsehoods, misogyny, and self-righteousness. This manual admits things that anti-choicers always deny; the truths we know because we live them, but which they try to cover up with lies atop lies. It is a veritable tour guide to their twisted worldview.
Horrifying.
