He's baaaack . . .

If you don't see the connection between the pro-life movement and the Schiavo case, the anti-abortion pros certainly do. The spokesman for Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, is no other than notorious anti-abortion nut job Randall Terry.

The Anti-Abortion Movement

One of the tendons that helps bind the religious element with the far right is the abortion issue. White supremacists often fear that abortion among Aryans is a cause for the dwindling majority of whites seen in the nation. Amidst the violent part of the anti-abortion crowd are often found cross sections of the most extreme right in the nation.

Author Frederick Clarkson reported that as recently as February 2001, at the presidential inauguration, a White Rose Banquet was held at the capitol. At the banquet, aid was raised for the 14 anti-abortionists currently serving a total of 200 years in prisons for vandalism, arson and murder. Rev. Michael Bray was a host for the event and has written a book that justifies the murder of abortion doctors, a position not foreign to many spokesmen in these elements. Paul Hill’s letter was read to the crowd two years ago at the same meeting. Hill is the man who shot and killed an abortion doctor and is awaiting his execution in prison. The Department of Justice records that these kinds have performed more than a dozen murders, 15 attempted murders, 209 bombings, 72 arsons and 750 death and bomb threats. Clarkson claims that there are even Catholic Priests advocating such violence as justifiable.2 Anti-abortion activist, Randall Terry, has advanced violent proposals as solutions to the issue.

The National Abortion Federation reports a steady ten year increase in violence at abortion clinics. Rev. Matt Trewhella, of the U. S. Taxpayers Party, is quoted in the NAF mail out as saying, "We should be forming militias. This Christmas, I want you to do the most loving thing...buy each of your children a SKS rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition."3

Seldom do Religious Right preachers advocate any form of violence. Their rhetoric might be mixed with extreme statements, but such violence is rare. Others, like Randall Terry, have advocated such positions. Terry does enjoy a following among the more respectable elements of the Religious Right. Terry believes it is a sin for every Christian couple to not have as many children as possible.4 Terry has publicly praised Colorado pastor Pete Peters, who is among the most violent advocates of the movement. Peters prescribes the killing of homosexuals as a splendid Biblical model for today.

Both Terry and Peters adhere to Reconstructionism principles. Gary North, who is one of the leading writers of the Reconstructionst movement in the country said of abortion, "How long do we expect God to withhold His wrath, if by crushing the humanists who promote mass abortion...He might spare the lives of literally millions of innocents?"5

5. Close but . . .

2. The Schindlers are scum

They will whore themselves and their daughter out to slimeballs like Randall Terry and any right-wing lunatic that will help them milk their 15 minutes for all its worth.

They sanctimoniously stand by while they send their children and posse out to smear Michael Schiavo and anyone who dares disagree with them. They lie, manipulate and distort every chance they get to serve their cause, which is simply getting their way. They don't care who they use, who they step on, who they hurt - and that includes their own daughter.

With control-freak Huns like these for parents, no wonder Terri ended up scarf-and-barfing herself into oblivion. They probably like her better now that she can't do those radical feminist things like think for herself or talk back.

The difference between Randall Terry and Michael Schiavo is that Michael Schiavo didn't abandon his wife.

4. Someone just asked in another thread why we should care about

this poor woman.

There's the answer.

The entire agenda is to mobilize the TheoCon Radical Right and it is working to some degree, although thankfully not to the extent they were counting on.

This is as low as the US can go, IMHO. And that is really saying soemthing.

8. More from the mouth of the "Christian" Randall Terry

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we will execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed...If we're going to have true reformation in America, it is because men once again, if I may use a worn out expression, have a righteous testosterone flowing through their veins. They are not afraid of contempt for their contemporaries. They are not here to get along. They are here to take over..." (Randall Terry, Addressing a banquet sponsored by the US Tax Payes Alliance, Aug. 8, 1995)

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over. 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." (Randall Terry, The News Sentinel, Fort Wayne, IN, Aug. 16, 1993)

9. Randall Terry is a pure scumbag..

I was a prochoice activist in the late '80's and frequently, along with other pro-choice groups spent many a day countering Randall Terry's antics running 'Operation Rescue'. He would lead his bussed- in hundreds of fundamentalist loonies from around the country to block women's health care clinics, chain themselves to the doors, crawl call in bomb threats, hassle and threatened women walking into the clinics. I've been near him when he was arranging his minions for the camera, he was always glib, press crazy, and arrogant. We once surrounded him outside a hotel in NYC where he had just given a press conference (complete with taking out a mummified fetus out of a box) and heckled the hell out of him. Now of course, he's a has-been, deserter of his own gay child, on a second comeback. It's fucking disgusting that hi sugly mug is even back in the news. It says a lot about Terry Schiavo's parents to me, that they are keeping company with the likes of him.
