Troy Newman & other rabid anti-choicers are behind 'sting' video

The Nation

The Center for Medical Progress is led not by well-meaning bioethics geeks but by some of the most virulent members of the anti-choice movement.

call these people "rabid"? The picture they published shows rather docile people.

Maybe they feel that all zealots demonstrating for a cause are rabid,

I don't get it.

there are 2 definitions. the first one fits with "zealous" and the second is about a diseased animal.

Rabid is perfectly fine as a description.

I had an encounter with Troy Newman. Unpleasant man. I wish I had knocked him down. We have stories from the days he hung out here lobbying the legislature. He is a mean sob, good looking and tall and mean as a snake (sorry snakes) but working tirelessly for the "pre-born".

That he would be behind this is certainly par for the course with him.
