Protest organizer Randall Terry explained that when Bill Clinton signed the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act into law, it broke the back of the mighty anti-abortion movement that had swept the nation thanks in large part to Operation Rescue, which Terry founded. As founder of Operation Rescue in the mid-1980s, Terry and others were able to drive abortion from being a non-issue in the public’s mind to becoming the number one issue facing voters.
But the FACE Act proved devastating to the movement. Three decades later, the pro-life movement is both “anemic” and “tame,” according to Terry. “It’s a toothless tiger, it’s letterhead, it’s a fundraising machine.”
