Daily Inspiration Quote by Randall Terry

Terry’s line is built like a political weather report: history has shifted, the moral climate is changing, and if you’re paying attention you can feel the wind at your back. The opening move, “We are not at the same place we were in 1973,” isn’t nostalgia so much as a timestamped provocation. 1973 is shorthand for Roe v. Wade and the post-sexual-revolution settlement; invoking it turns abortion politics into a long game where time itself is an ally. He’s not arguing the issue from first principles. He’s arguing from momentum.

“Drifting” does double duty. It suggests inevitability (a current you can’t fight) while also implying negligence, as if the country is sleepwalking toward his side. That framing is strategic: if the shift is organic, opponents look out of touch, not just wrong. Then comes the rhetorical pivot modern activists love: “the data is with us.” It’s an attempt to launder a moral crusade through the language of empiricism. Terry signals that pro-life politics can be sold not merely as conviction but as common sense backed by numbers: polling trends, changing language around fetal development, ultrasound imagery, incremental restrictions, and the movement’s growing institutional power.

The subtext is less “debate me” than “get on the right side of history.” It’s also a subtle recruitment pitch. If victory is already in motion, supporters are invited to join a winning cause, donors to invest in inevitability, and fence-sitters to stop resisting what he presents as a statistical tide.
