Politics: Six anti-abortion activists protest at Speaker Boehner’s office

  • Our pro-life constituencies are weary of campaign promises and empty rhetoric… We don’t want another symbolic victory.
  • “Operation Rescue” founder Randall Terry • On the topic of anti-abortion politicians following through with policy. This came after the arrest of a group of six Terry supporters outside the office of John Boehner (who wasn’t even inside at the time), where they were demanding that the Speaker stand firm on defunding Planned Parenthood, no matter the Senate’s reaction. Not that Speaker Boehner can force the Senate to do anything, but procedural nuance isn’t always the strong suit of hyper-zealous, single-issue political groups. source

Politics: Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry wants to scar your eyes in 2012

  • Great, just what we need. More of these ads. (just a link to another article, we swear!) To our friends outside of DC this election cycle, you may have something to not look forward to next cycle. Missy Smith, a protégé of noted anti-abortion activist Randall Terry, ran some incredibly disturbing ads of dead fetuses on television just before the election. And while they weren’t necessarily family viewing, they could run during family hours because Terry had read up on campaign advertising laws. While Smith only earned six percent of the vote in November, here adsy got lots of people talking – so many that Terry plans to take the campaign national in 2012, getting more candidates involved and running for president so he can air the ads during the Super Bowl. Great. source
