Anti-Abortion Leader (Randall Terry) Seeks To Oust Powerful GOP Legislator
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Randall Terry hopes northeast Florida voters will not simply focus on the more extreme comments he made as founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue as he campaigns to unseat powerful state Sen. Jim King in the upcoming Republican primary.

Nor does he want them to solely look at his role in the unsuccessful effort last year to reinsert the feeding tube of Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who was at the center of a right-to-die case. He also hopes they can forgive his divorce and 1998 bankruptcy, the latter an effort to avoid paying $1.6 million in court-ordered civil penalties to Planned Parenthood and the National Organization for Women.

"My public persona as a pro-life leader does not reflect my interests, my education and my work for the last 20 years," said Terry, who has been arrested more than 40 times at anti-abortion protests.

Terry, 47, lives in a $400,000 home in Ponte Vedra Beach, paid for by supporters, with his second wife of five years, Andrea, and four young sons. His older children are 19, 21 and 26, one of whom came out as gay two years ago.

"This is a very pro-life, pro-family, pro-Second Amendment district. I represent the values of this district," he said.

1. The stink of his words should follow him wherever he goes...
Even if he apologized, which I doubt he would, won't get the horrid odor out of the air.

3. I 'love' this guy's family values...second wife, gay kid, and continual
breeding while 'supporters' pay for his home.
