Piece on Randall Terry in The Washington Post

I am a bit behind in posting this piece, which I have read at least twice since it was published. One's opinion of Randall Terry is inextricably linked to one's view of abortion. However, pro-choicers might at least admire his tenacity, and according to this article, pro-lifers worry that they give their movement a bad name.


The lede and the quotes are great, but it was particularly enlightening to learn about the man behind the dolls smeared with fake blood. He is a convert to Catholicism who has four children, among whom are two adopted children and a foster child. His adopted son came out in 2004, leading to estrangement but eventual reconciliation. An adopted daughter and foster daughter each became pregnant out of wedlock, and the later converted to Islam.

And he has recorded two CDs, one gospel, the other country & western.

Very, very interesting.
