Operation Rescue took a day off from demonstrating to regroup after a week of unsuccessful efforts to halt abortions at women’s clinics. Founder Randall Terry addressed more than 500 people at the Evangel Assembly of God Church in suburban Amherst on the sixth day of the group’s Buffalo-area campaign. He urged continued protest actions, which have been thwarted by police and counterdemonstrators. Nearby, about 100 abortion rights activists chanted: “Randall Terry, go home!”
