Operation Rescue members want to replace the Rule of Law with the "Law of Blood"
Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 05:17 PM by ck4829
"But there is another law -- the 'law of blood' -- written by our Maker. It is etched in the heart of man and the laws of nature, and we cannot escape its reality or consequences.

"When the rule of law and the law of blood clash, such as in George Tiller's death, we must not pretend that there is no connection between Mr. Tiller's shedding of innocent blood and Scott Roeder's act of violence against him. There is sowing; there is reaping.

Their innocent blood cries to God -- as did the blood of slaves -- for vengeance. Will God ignore this deafening cry? Will we pretend their blood has no place in this trial? This trial is the place where the rule of law and the 'law of blood' meet."

- Randall Terry

What exactly is the Law of Blood? Is it the law as defined by theocrats? By Randall Terry and the Army of God? Or simply killing people simply because they're doing something that the perpetrator thinks should be illegal?

2. Randall Terry is a despicable, disgusting POS
He is gloating and justifying George Tillers death. Shot to death in a church.

Isn't Randall Terry the asshole that floated the idea of kidnapping pregnant women who were seeking abortions to force them to give birth?

I have a special loathing for this guy, I really do.

3. And then he'd probably drop them off in the desert once the baby was born
"Not my problem anymore... See ya!"

4. Well, since God 'kills' 50% of all pregnancies, and celebrates blood baths
in the Bible, including the blood of innocent children, I think that dipshit Randall Terry is barking up the wrong tree.

Mind your own fucking business, Randall. I'm sure there's lots in your life that needs straightening out.

And what about the violence YOU'RE sowing, Randall?? Huh???

5. Aargh. I hate feeling obliged to "defend" Operation Rescue
but Randall Terry, who did start it, was repudiated by the organization long ago. He hasn't had anything to do with it in well over a decade. Operation Rescue is repugnant but they don't endorse Terry.

Statements Concerning Randall Terry and His Unbiblical Lawsuit Against Troy Newman

Randall Terry Does NOT Speak for Operation Rescue

June 15, 2009

Recently, Randall Terry, who left Operation Rescue 18 years ago, has recently made statements in the media to which we must now comment.

Mr. Terry has said, among other things, that he believes the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller “has the potential to propel us more quickly to our goal.”

Operation Rescue repudiates this statement as being completely false and out of touch with the reality of the situation. Operation Rescue has strongly denounced Tiller’s killing. Randall Terry is not affiliated with Operation Rescue and does not speak for this organization in any way.

In fact, it is Operation Rescue’s position that the Tiller murder was a set-back to the pro-life movement, especially since peaceful and legal means were making progress. OR had a number of complaints progressing through the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which had taken the first steps in the process to revoke Tiller’s medical license. Those complaints against Tiller are now closed.

“Tiller’s killing denied the pro-life movement a victory through due process that would have been a clear boost for the pro-life movement,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Mr. Terry’s comments are offensive and out of touch. His comments are only meant to inflame emotions and garner him personal publicity and financial support, to which he has no accountability. He does not represent Operation Rescue in any way. It is a shame that he continues to confuse and even deceive people with his mischaracterizations. We have no choice but to set the record straight.”
