South Dakota Women's Health and Human Life Protection Act: Brains, Backbone, and Battle
 "This law will surely be struck down by every federal court until it reaches the Supreme Court. But by the time it reaches the Supreme Court, a majority may exist to overturn Roe vs. Wade. In that hour, ‘Wisdom will be justified by her children.’” Randall Terry, President, Society for Truth and Justice.

Feb. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Randall Terry is available to discuss the short-term and long-term negative repercussions and positive benefits of the proposed legislation by the South Dakota Legislature.

Randall Terry's quotes and talking points:

"Truth has within it the seeds of its own victory; lies have within them the seeds of their own destruction. This bill is based in the truth; Roe versus Wade is based on a lie. Let the public debate begin. We are confident in the outcome."

“Finally -- a legislature that understands the value of human life and of truthful debate. This Legislature has the brains and the backbone for the battle that will follow.”

“Pro-life groups, leaders, and individuals should use this legislation to educate the public about the development of human life, and the true nature of abortion."

"The timid -- those already born -- will say that ‘the timing is not right.’ Remember Dr. Martin Luther King's ‘Letter from the Birmingham Jail’ when he chided white Americans who tried to suppress the dreams of black Americans yearning for freedom because of ‘timing.’ Only those skulking in the shadows of fear and uncertainty would deny the value of this legislation, or would try to persuade Governor Rounds to not sign it."

"Roe will only be overturned with legislation as clear and concise as this. It may be this law... or one twice removed in another state . . . but such a law must exist for the Supreme Court to have the chance to say, ‘The Roe Court was wrong -- Roe is hereby overturned.’ This bill has the vision to proceed forward with our inevitable victory.”

“Any bill that provides the Supreme Court the opportunity to overturn Roe will endure a firestorm of criticism. The South Dakota Legislature had the brains and the backbone to do the right thing. Let the defenders of life stands calm and firm; let the advocates of death howl and wail; in the end, the truth will prevail."
