HTML link problem in Edge

I've added a 3 word link to a block of copy in my animation, the problem is the only the first word of the three responds like an link. I have other links in other areas in the animation and they work fine. Here's my code:

<style>a:link {color:#b8dc70;text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#aaaaaa;}a:hover {color:#e69400;}a:active {color:#c97777;}</style><a href = "http://grassrootschange.net/what-is-grassroots-movement/" target=_"self">public health movement</a>

Only public displays the style attributes and responds like a link. health movement display the style attributes, but not the link.

Thank you in advance
