Troy Newman (activist)
Troy Edward Newman-Mariotti (born 1966), known as Troy Newman, is an American pro-life activist. He is the president of Operation Rescue, which is based in Wichita, Kansas, and also sits on the board of The Center for Medical Progress.
Newman became involved in the anti-abortion movement in the early 1990s, and in 1999 became president of Operation Rescue West, which had split from the original group and later took on its name. The organisation was originally based in Southern California, but moved to Kansas in 2002. The primary reason for relocation was to allow the group to focus on its campaign against abortion doctor George Tiller, which culminated in his assassination by Scott Roeder, an Operation Rescue supporter. More recently, Newman attracted international attention for his illegal entry to Australia (and subsequent deportation).
==Early life==
Born in Anchorage, Alaska,〔(May 29, 2014).("The Bridgehead Radio: Jonathon Van Maren interviews Troy Newman" ) – Canadian Centre for Bio-ethical Reform. Retrieved October 4, 2015.〕 Newman was adopted at birth to a family in San Diego, California,〔(Who We Are: Troy Newman, President ) – Operation Rescue. Retrieved October 4, 2015.〕 where he grew up as a self-described "surfer boy".〔(Transcript: Troy Newman – the American anti-abortion campaigner facing deportation from Australia ) – Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Retrieved October 4, 2015.〕 He has cited his own experience as an adoptee as one of the reasons for his pro-life views.〔 Newman made contact with his birth father later in life, and subsequently added his birth father's surname (Mariotti) to his own, although professionally he continues to use only his original surname.〔Stephanie Simon (February 17, 2004). ("Protesters Who Push the Limits" ) – ''Los Angeles Times''. Retrieved October 4, 2015.〕
Raised Roman Catholic before joining the Presbyterian Church in America,〔 Newman attended Whitefield Theological Seminary and graduated from Maranatha Baptist University.〔 He first became interested in the pro-life movement in 1990, after attending an anti-abortion rally. He had previously given little thought to the subject, and he and his future wife, Mellissa, even made use of Planned Parenthood facilities on at least one occasion, for blood tests.〔 After becoming involved in the movement, Newman balanced his work as an electronic engineer in the aerospace industry with his participation in anti-abortion protests.〔 However, he quit his job in 1995, in order to devote his full attention to the pro-life movement.〔
