More pro-life (dis)unity: Is Randall Terry helping the pro-life movement?
Matt C. Abbott
He's baaaaack. Actually, he's been back for a while now. Randall Terry, I mean.
Two things are certain regarding Terry: 1) He makes the news and 2) he doesn't have many supporters among pro-life leaders.
The first "thing" isn't necessarily a bad one. As long as Terry is in the news, abortion is in the news — and that's a good thing. As for the second "thing," it seems it has mainly to do with Terry's personality and methodology. He was heavily involved in the rescue movement back in the day, and from that time up until now (although there was a period of time in which Terry was apparently tending to other matters), he's been quite the lightning rod.

My comment on this article is I like Randall Terry because he keeps the abominable abortion issue before our eyes and tells it like it is. 52 million babies have perished by the hands of murderous abortionists. Let's support each other in the Pro-Life cause and not give the devil his due!
