Activist keeps up protests at Mississippi's lone abortion clinic

Activist keeps up protests at Mississippi's lone abortion clinic - Page 2 - latimes.com: Few have advocated for an end to abortion as long, and with as much intensity, as Roy McMillan. Yet some allies disagree with his tactics.

Terri Herring, Mississippi's leading antiabortion lobbyist, credits McMillan with spurring her interest in the abortion fight. She worries, though, that his shock tactics are not representative of mainstream Mississippians. Roy "is not what we want as a poster child!!" she wrote in an email. "But he has been faithful for years. . . . Roy is the father of the Mississippi movement. He is either loved or hated, but often misunderstood. Did he tell you that he was left as an infant on the doorstep of a [Baptist] church?"
