NEW YORK --
Coming just two days after George W. Bush's inauguration, Saturday's
anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion is
dominated by the hopes of one side -- and fears of the other -- that
the president will try to overturn Roe v. Wade through appointments to
fill expected high court vacancies.
Anti-abortion activists were among the legions of Bush supporters
converging on Washington in the past few days, and most will remain
for Monday's annual March for Life.
Though Bush is widely admired within the movement, some of its
militants still question his commitment to reversing the 32-year-old
decision.
"President Bush has an ethical obligation to protect the unborn, and
he has a political debt of honor to those who put him in office," said
Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue.
"His staff must thoroughly investigate any possible appointee, and if
they are not unalterably committed to overturning Roe v. Wade, they
must be dismissed from consideration."

From The New York Times, 7/21/01:

Randall Terry, the charismatic, hyper-aggressive founder of Operation
Rescue, who personified the anti-abortion cause, is being ostracized
by the very movement he helped create.
.....................................................................................................................
His former pastor and colleagues say he is an unrepentant sinner who
betrayed the faith by abandoning his wife, using foul language and
drinking alcohol in the presence of children, and who nevertheless
still seeks to raise money from those unaware of how far he has
fallen.
...............................................................................................................................
Once the lanky embodiment of self-righteous confrontation, he is now
being portrayed by former prayer partners as yet another evangelical
hypocrite.

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want
you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our
goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by
God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want
pluralism."

Wayne, Indiana, 8-16-93
