The website for National Right to Life Committee is offline after apparently being targeted for cyberattack.
"We apologize to those of you who have attempted to reach our web page today — we have been under constant cyberattack by those who most likely promote and profit from abortion. The truth will always prevail," National Right to Life tweeted on Monday.

The Supreme Court issued a ruling last week that enables states to ban abortions, and leftists have been up in arms about the decision — many liberal lawmakers decried the ruling as a "dark day" for the nation.
On Monday, a Twitter account bearing the name "Lorian Synaro" decried the high court's decision and promised cyberattacks against pro-life organizations.
"The US supreme court decision to overturn #RoeVsWade is dangerous and unacceptable. This decision puts millions of American women at risk. It is the direct result of the rise of reactionary and ultra-conservative forces in all spheres of society," the account declared.
"We must fight once, and for good the reactionary forces and ultra-conservative organizations who aims to control women's bodies and freedom. #Anonymous has always been fighting for women's rights and will be once again fighting those who have declared war on women," the account added in another tweet. "Anti-choice organizations will be attacked daily to ensure they have no safe space on the internet. We want revenge on behalf the millions of women whose life will be impacted by the decision of the supreme court. We want revenge. We want #JanesRevenge!"

The Lorian Synaro account tweeted about the National Right to Life website going down.
"National Right to Life, one of the largest anti-choice organizations in the US has been taken offline. This is just the beginning. We want Jane's revenge!" a tweet declared on Monday.
The site apparently started working again at some point, but Lorian Synaro tweeted on Tuesday, "It has been taken offline again now."

Miles 'Anonymous' Taylor defends lying on CNN, says he owes colleague Anderson Cooper 'a beer'
Former DHS-staffer-turned-CNN-contributor Miles Taylor has come out in defense of himself lying outright on air about the fact that he is anti-Trump author "Anonymous" after finally revealing his identity, saying he owes his colleague, Anderson Cooper, "a beer" over the ordeal.
What are the details?
Taylor wrote a lengthy Medium post published Wednesday revealing that he is Anonymous, the alleged "senior Trump administration official" who penned the widely-read New York Times op-ed and subsequent book slamming President Donald Trump's character from the perspective of a White House insider.
But it was quickly revealed that Taylor recently denied to his current employer and the network's viewers that he is, in fact, Anonymous.
in August, CNN host Anderson Cooper asked Taylor directly, "You're not Anonymous?" to which Taylor replied, "I wear a mask for two reasons, Anderson. Halloweens and pandemics. So, no."
Miles Taylor in August: I didn't write anonymous op-ed www.youtube.com
On Wednesday night, Taylor was a guest on CNN host Chris Cuomo's show. Cuomo began the segment by telling the contributor, "First, what matters most, certainly to me: You lied to us, Miles. You were asked in August if you were Anonymous, here on CNN with Anderson Cooper, and you said no."
Cuomo asked, "Now, why should CNN keep you on the payroll after lying like that?"
Taylor answered that he wrote in his book "that if asked, I would strenuously deny I was the author, and here's the reason: Because the things I said in that book were ideas that I wanted Donald Trump to challenge on their merits."
"We have seen over the course of four years that Donald Trump's preference is to find personal attacks and distractions to pull people away from criticisms of his record," he continued, explaining, "I wrote that work anonymously to deprive him of that opportunity and to force him to answer the questions on their merits."
Taylor complained that "to this day," neither the president nor the White House has challenged his writings.
Regarding his false statement on CNN a few months back, Taylor said, "When asked by Anderson whether I was Anonymous during that time period, I said what I was going to do, I temporarily denied it, but I've always said I would ultimately come out under my own name."
"But that said, I owe Anderson Cooper a beer," Taylor told Cuomo. "I owe him a mea culpa, and the same thing for other reporters who at that time period asked me, 'are you Anonymous,' and I said no, because I wanted that work to stand on its own two legs."
The book, titled "A Warning," reached #1 on the bestseller lists at both the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Taylor claims he donated much of his proceeds from the deal.
Before moving on to more questions, Cuomo told Taylor, "You know what the problem is with having lied is that now you are a liar, and people will be slow to believe you when you lied about something as important as whether or not you wanted to own this."
Taylor acknowledged, "That's the truth," calling his choice to remain anonymous "a torturous decision."

Ex-DHS staffer Miles Taylor reveals himself as anti-Trump author 'Anonymous' after previous denials
Former Department of Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor declared Wednesday that he is "Anonymous," the secret alleged "senior Trump administration official" who penned a New York Times op-ed and subsequent book criticizing President Donald Trump.
Taylor, now a contributor at CNN, recently denied to his current employer on multiple occasions that he was "Anonymous."
What are the details?
In 2018, the New York Times published a scathing op-ed from an "anonymous" senior Trump administration official, that lambasted the president's character from the perspective of an insider. The piece was given enormous attention in the press, and the "anonymous" author then published a book titled "A Warning" the next year, which promised to pull "back the curtain even further."
The author promised to eventually reveal their identity. Meanwhile, the book hit the number one spots on both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
Now, Taylor says he is "Anonymous," revealing in a statement that he penned both works, arguing, "Issuing my critiques without attribution forced the President to answer them directly on their merits or not at all, rather than creating distractions through petty insults and name-calling. I wanted the attention to be on the arguments themselves."
The Hill noted that "Taylor has been public about his criticism of Trump for months, and even endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden earlier this year." The outlet also pointed out that "he served in the Department of Homeland Security from 2017-2019, a stint that included time as chief of staff to former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen."
After Taylor left the Trump administration, he joined CNN. Network host Anderson Cooper asked Taylor on air in August if he was aware of who "Anonymous" is, and he answered, "I am not. Look, that was a parlor game that happened in Washington, D.C., of a lot of folks trying to think of who that might be. I've got my own thoughts about who that might be..."
Cooper then asked directly, "You're not anonymous?"
"I wear a mask for two reasons, Anderson," Taylor replied, "Halloweens and pandemics. So, no."

After Taylor's revelation on Wednesday, fellow CNN employee Josh Campbell tweeted, "I asked Miles Taylor back on August 17 if he was 'Anonymous.' Rather than declining to comment, he said: 'No. Sorry to disappoint. You weren't the first though today!'"

A Washington Post media critic tweeted Wednesday afternoon, "A CNN spox just told me that Miles Taylor will remain a contributor despite lying to Anderson Cooper. CNN cannot have it both ways -- slamming Trump for his lies, yet condoning a very big and blatant one by its own contributor."
Anything else?
Following Taylor's announcement, several critics hit out at the New York Times for misleading readers by giving the impression that "Anonymous" was a "senior administration official." Axios reporter Jonathan Swan tweeted, "I also didn't realize the definition of 'senior administration official' could be *this* expansive. Wasn't even an agency chief of staff at the time the op-ed ran."
Steve Krakauer, executive producer of Megyn Kelly's podcast, tweeted, "Let's be perfectly clear - the ONLY reason the New York Times would grant a middle level staffer who no one in the world had heard of anonymity to write that column is because they wanted to deceive readers into thinking it was someone of significantly more prominence."
Taylor was also torched by the left and the right following his unmasking.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro tweeted, "Miles Taylor helped spin the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents. How many of those parents were offered media contributorships?"
White House press secretary Kaleigh McEnany issued a statement saying:
"President Trump is focused on leading the great American comeback and keeping his promises to the American people. This low-level, disgruntled former staffer is a liar and a coward who chose anonymity over action and leaking over leading. He was ineffective and incompetent during his time as DHS Chief of Staff which is why he was promptly fired after only serving in this role for a matter of weeks. It is appalling a low-ranking official would be granted anonymity and it is clear the New York Times is doing the bidding of Never-Trumpers and Democrats. The American people elected President Trump to carry out his vision for the country, not an arrogant deep state operative trying to put their agenda ahead of the President's America First policies."
