Preferred term

Army of God  

Definition

  • In the early 1980s, a shadowy group calling itself the Army of God emerged in the anti-abortion movement. While the group has often been linked to threatening or violent acts, investigators believe that it does not necessarily represent an organized group but has instead become an umbrella label for some extremists.
