Conservative political and religious activist Randall Terry ran into a wall in Fort Wayne, the first stop of his 13-city, seven-state protest tour to denounce proposed health care reform. No one showed.

A few reporters and photographers, Terry and two passersby were the whole rally. Terry's target, U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh and Bayh's entire staff inside the E. Ross Adair Federal Building, were no-shows.

Terry spoke about his claims that the proposed health care bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, en route to the U.S. Senate, will essentially fund abortions. That, Terry said, will ensure violent shock waves from pro-life activists around the country.

“If the U.S. Senate passes this bill and they try and force Americans to pay for child-killing by abortion, they are sowing the seeds of violence in this country,” Terry said from the sidewalk in front of the Federal Building.

“We fought a war over slavery, we fought a war over a tea tax. What do people think will happen if they try to force us to pay for murder? … Sen. Bayh needs to think through what he's about to do. If you force people to act contrary to the very laws of God, you are asking for disaster.”

Terry said he will spearhead rallies, protests, news conferences and “skits” during the stops to express his displeasure with the bill.

He said he planned to enter Bayh's office Monday and inform his staff that if the senator were to vote for the bill, it would create a violent backlash. But Bayh wasn't in his Fort Wayne office to hear Terry's message.

Bayh's office did release a statement after hearing of Terry's appearance.

“Sen. Bayh is an independent voice in the United States Senate and will do what is right for Indiana,” the e-mailed release read, adding that Bayh has yet to decide how he'll vote, but that he's “encouraged that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says this bill will reduce the federal budget deficit by $127 billion over the next 10 years and as much as $650 billion in the years beyond.”

Terry's tour is a two-pronged effort to rally Republicans and call on Democrats, daring each side to vote no.

“Give us your money so we can kill someone - that's what they're talking about,” said Terry. “I swear … if they go through with this, they are sowing the seeds for vandalism and, God help us, for violence in this country.

“There is no way that this can pass with murder in it and for it not to be a violent reaction in this country. You can't violate the laws of God and the laws of nature to that extreme and expect everyone to just go along with it.”

Terry was founder of the pro-life group, Operation Rescue, in the 1990s. He was arrested dozens of times trying to shut down abortion clinics throughout the country.
