Popular culture allusions[edit]

He was mentioned in the opening line to the Tumor Circus song "Meathook Up My Rectum" (written by Jello Biafra, who incidentally is also weighing a 2012 presidential bid). Is this notable enough to mention? That song was released back in 1991, which goes to show that this guy has been making the news for a long time....

Awkward wording, very confusing until I re-read it several times![edit]

"... most recently for protesting President Barack Obama's commencement visit to the University of Notre Dame in violation of a no-trespass order from the school."

President Barack Obama violated a no-trespass order from Notre Dame??? I don't think so. Please fix it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.109.75.166 (talk) 18:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's on Notre Dame for issuing a no-trespass order on their own speaker. 2001:171B:2274:7C21:B13D:6306:7B8E:4356 (talk) 00:05, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Violation[edit]

"Terry has long been known for provocative and controversial statements, including that abortion is murder and should be made a capital crime." Calling one side of an issue "provocative" is a violation of the NPOV issue. Please update the sentence accordingly. 214.13.69.132 (talk) 07:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 31 October 2012[edit]

Randall Almira Terry (born 1959) is an American pro-life activist. Terry founded the pro-life organization Operation Rescue. The group became particularly prominent beginning in 1987 for blockading the entrances to abortion clinics; Terry led the group until 1991.[1] He has been arrested more than 40 times,[2] most recently for protesting President Barack Obama's commencement visit to the University of Notre Dame in violation of a no-trespass order from the school.[3] Terry has long been known for provocative and controversial statements, including that abortion is murder and should be made a capital crime.

Done: The only change I see here is the removal of the "candidate for president" clause of the opening sentence. I have removed it, as a lead sentence should summarize the subject of the article in one sentence. Since he was a fringe candidate I do not consider his bid for the presidency to be one of the most important details of an encyclopedia biography on this person. That being said, I have no objection to re-adding a sentence or two on his presidential bid to a lower paragraph of the lead section, as the lead section should be an abbreviated version of the rest of the article.
In the future, when using the {{edit protected}} or {{edit semi-protected}} tags, please phrase your requested change in a "change x to y" format. Thank you. —KuyaBriBriTalk 15:12, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congress 1998[edit]

When he ran for Congress in 1998, am I right in thinking he did this as a Republican and lost out to another Republican? His time with the Democrats and as Independent seems to be later. The Big Hoof! (talk) 19:44, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
