Randall Terry I hate to agree with Susan Carpenter-McMillan, but she's got a point: why is the anti-abortion movement run by men? How many guys have you known to get knocked up? When you find one, let me know. Randall Terry is the founder of Operation Rescue, the national anti-abortion group that stands outside health clinics to harass doctors, staff and pregnant women. Their tactics are aggressive. They set up human barricades to prevent women from entering. They walk up to pregnant women they've never met, rub their tummies and talk to the fetuses. I'm telling you, they're loopy. You might say Randall and his followers take extreme measures. In 1992, he and two others were arrested in New York when the Democratic National Convention was in town. They tried to hand off a dead fetus to Bill Clinton. Luckily for Randall, the feds wouldn't prosecute them for that because the Bush Administration had supported his group in a Supreme Court case. What a go, George. Later that year, Randall mailed a pamphlet to hundreds of thousands of ministers and activists, warning them that voting for Clinton would be a "sin against God." He also said Clinton "actively promotes rebellion against the Ten Commandments and other laws of the Bible." Then he threatened to disrupt the President's inauguration to -- get this -- protest Clinton's use of a Bible during the swearing-in. I don't know about Randall. He's beginning to sound a bit obsessed. A little yoga might help him, but I'm sure he'd think it was a satanic ritual. In 1996 he told a convention that the time is coming "when He who sits in the Heavens shall laugh. And when God laughs, it's not funny." Why? Is He stoned? Or is Randall saying God has an evil laugh? The year 1998 was not a good one for Randall. He ran in the Republican primary for a Congressional seat in upstate New York. He lost, receiving only 34 percent. Then he filed for bankruptcy court protection. He was ordered to pay the National Organization for Women and Planned Parenthood a combined total of $1.6 million. Other lawsuits are pending. Hey, Randall -- do you ever get the impression that women don't like you very much? Why is that? Maybe they don't think you like them. Better watch your step. In your next life, God may give you a vagina. |
