Where in the world is Randall Terry?

There are only a few people around today who would even remember Randall Terry. And those who know him and have kept up with him at all would probably shrug their shoulders in disgust at the mention of his name. Terry would probably be accurately labeled as a ‘right wing activist’ by the liberal media in America. In fact I remember a lot worse things said about him some twenty years or so ago; extremist is another word used to describe Terry, and again it’s probably pretty accurate. But there are more than several thousand young men and women out there in America somewhere who owe their very existence to Randall Terry. In the nineties Randall Terry’s organization, Operation Rescue, was involved in bringing much needed attention to abortion doctors and clinics around the United States who engaged in, among other things, third trimester and partial birth abortions. Operation Rescue and Terry, personally, were involved in almost every kind of lawful activity in their effort to stop young girls from having abortions. He was arrested and jailed too many times to count for picketing abortion clinics, but he did more than anyone in that era (maybe ever) to put a stop to the indiscriminate killing of unborn babies. He was a continual thorn in the side of Planned Parenthood and organizations like it. Terry’s story doesn’t have a happy ending, at least up to this point. Since the nineties he was accused of adultery, ended up with another woman, and gave up the reins to Operation Rescue which, it seems (since I don’t hear much about it today) is not making much of a wave against the killing of the unborn. To me, he is a hero fallen from grace; we should pray for him. I wonder who will take up the cause? And for the thousands of twenty-somethings who are now alive because of his efforts, I can’t help but wonder…..”Who will they vote for in November?
