Randall Terry is no match for Obama

The man who destroyed the antiabortion movement with his extremism is trying to use the president's visit to Notre Dame to advance his cause, but he will fail -- again.

    Fact check: Randall Terry founded Operation Rescue in 1986

    Here's a small nit to pick: Operation Rescue was founded in 1986.

    So Kissling errs in paragraph 2 when she writes: The Operation Rescue zealot turned off a lot of working-class people who were nervous about whether abortion might have become "too easy" years back, by unleashing a few thousand die-hards who began chaining themselves to clinic doors and barging into operating rooms in the '70s to "save the babies."

    Change that from '70s to mid-80s and you've got it right.
