Scandal Terry-orist

When the Tactics Defeat the Purpose

There is an interesting article in yesterday's Post on Randall Terry's anti-abortion antics-some of which are on display this week at the Supreme Court. They involve things like ghoolish fake blood poured all over baby dolls in carriages and copies of Roe v. Wade, the opinion.

Randall Terry, who scandalizes thinking educated Catholics everywhere who have grappled and wrestled with the most effective way to communicate a message in a way that allows the hearer to be receptive to the speaker sets back the anti-abortion cause about 30 years- at least.

This is the guy creating obnoxious fumes for Obama at Notre Dame. The article states that he has moved to Alexandria to inflict his antics on Washingtonians. He is targetting Bishops and Archbishops these days who give communion to the "baby killer" Nancy Pelosi and the like-proudly Catholic politicians who don't see the legislative agenda the Republicans mandated as the best means by which abortions would be dramatically reduced or eliminated.

These people like Terry are not well versed in the Supreme Court opinions at all- they tout a party line that does not consider essential things like - if you discount a woman's mental health and she kills herself absent an artificial womb scenario you have lost the embryo/fetus also when the woman dies. This point apparently stumps the Randal Terrys of the world who think that the suicidal pregnant woman is a myth- even in the age of easy overdoses and a culture of wildly over-pharmaceuticated chemical -drug abuse.

So Mr. Terry in his rented house in Alexandria should find another way to make a living- I hear he is pretty good with a loudspeaker calling people whose strategy he disagrees with "baby killers"- what if we post him on the median on Rockville Pike to announce the sales at Costco.
There's an honest living.

That said, where is the Privacy Right when someone else is there?
Doesn't the Privacy Right (penumbrally extrapolated) circularly assume no one else worth counting is there? Think about it.
