The Radiance Foundation — whose founder Ryan Bomberger frequently refers to himself as a “factivist” —\u00a0is a pro-life organization that has published tweets about Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, and much more, frequently commenting on controversial social topics that aren’t necessarily considered “pro-life issues.’ \u00a0And The Radiance Foundation has also become the latest in a long line of pro-life organizations to face suspension from Twitter.<\/p>\n

The Radiance Foundation is just one of many recent pro-life users on Twitter to find their accounts disabled. In February, multiple pro-life accounts were locked<\/a> for so-called “abusive behavior.” The accounts had merely cited details of the public information surrounding the case of David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the undercover journalists now facing charges for exposing Planned Parenthood’s<\/a> habit of selling the body parts of babies they aborted.<\/p>\n

Now, the social media platform has deemed one of The Radiance Foundation’s tweets to contain “hateful content.” On Facebook, The Radiance Foundation hit back at the claim with a screenshot of the tweet, which referenced the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

“Twitter has suspended our Twitter.com\/lifehaspurpose<\/a> account for ‘hateful conduct’,” they wrote. “See if you can find the ‘hate’ in our tweet. We corrected Congresswoman Ilhan.omar’s<\/a> callous & historically-challenged description of the slaughter of American lives on #Sept11<\/a>. She described it as “some people did something.” This in light of ISIS–the Islamic State–now claiming responsibility for killing hundreds of Christians in terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka this weekend. So now, Twitter deems facts as ‘hateful’.”<\/p>\n
