About 20 anti-abortion activists were arrested outside Planned Parenthood Friday morning in Memphis, many of them carried away by police. The group, calling themselves “Rescue Resurrection” are hoping to kick-start a new wave of clinic blockades, even in Tennessee, where abortion is illegal. Randall Terry, founder of the original Operation Rescue, was among those who forced Memphis Police to carry him away as he attempted to block the facility.
