IMHO
Exactly . Randall Terry has that self serving stench that people despise . He does more harm to the pro-life cause than anyone else could dream of .
Eric Rudolph slaughtered two innocent people and maimed countless others by bombing Olympic Stadium. Oh yeah, and he also attacked a death chamber where babies were being butchered on a daily basis. Randall Terry and his followers have harmed no one - not even abortionists. Of course the media will equate the two, but they will slander pro-lifers regardless. Heck with them.
That said, I am no fan of Terry personally - not because of his tactics but because he is a hypocrite to the Nth degree. By cheating on his wife after many years as a self-proclaimed pro-family spokesman, he showed what kind of human being he is. Yes, his charisma is hard to match, but the pro-life movement would be wise to find new leaders.
For doing what the civil rights activists did in 1960s - civil disobedience? They weren't even arrested INSIDE the HQ. They were outside it.
The comparison isn't even appropriate. Rudolph killed people. All they were doing was protesting.
