Randall Terry, a veteran leader of the anti-abortion movement, announced Thursday he will challenge President Barack Obama for next year's Democratic presidential nomination.
The move is designed to provide a platform for Terry's strong social views, and his candidacy is expected to be little more than a sideshow before Obama squares off against the GOP in the general election.
Terry, the founder of Operation Rescue, called Obama "an arch-promoter of child killing."
"Even if I get 35 or 40 percent of the vote in Iowa, that will be a massive embarrassment for Obama," he said.
