Absolutely!!! It is the ugly truth...and it needs to be told and exposed for what it is.... the Murder of our unborn children. Society is sick for accepting and embracing this as a 'choice.'

If you support showing the photographic "truth" of the medical procedure, then you would presumably support showing the photographic truth and reality of all the people shot or blasted apart in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. People need to see what they are supporting.

Ah, yes Sara - "just anti religious government relations." The pro-life argument is not a religious argument, but is based on science. I am Catholic. My faith propels me to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Would you call the Civil Rights movement wrong because those in it were Christians (ever heard of REVERED Martin Luther King, Jr.?)

Abortions do not eliminate poverty. We've killed 1.5 million American human babies each and every year since 1973, and the country is on the brink of extermination, the economy in shambles and crashing fast. Neither does Bless Me I'm Jewish bring blessings, as we've been lied to. Obviously. For all our warmongering and putting Israel first, the whole world is on the brink of destruction. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Killing babies is pure evil, and we have forfeited all of God's protection and blessings. Hating Jesus and Christians and Muslims, as the Jews do, does not make one God's Chosen -- unless it is chosen for Hell. Time for people to wake up and smell the coffee.

Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Plain and simple.

Where do we draw the line? Am I allowed to smash any sign I don't agree with?

Also, Maria, I have seen video of you reacting to these people on RAGBRAI and I thought you acted very immaturely. I would have thought someone like you would be able to more eloquently express your decision without having to resort to cursing and throwing things. While I definitely do not agree with their position, I am a firm defender of free speech. Both you and these demonstrators abused it that day in my opinion. Grow up!

What about protecting the unborn babies? Why are people not outraged that babies are being killed in the womb?

Its sad that people can speak words like "hate" "ignorance" "protecting children" and so forth, when, apparently, they don't consider abortion to be mutually exclusive with hatred, ignorance and protecting children. Its sad to be born that way. I pity you. Some people are like a black person born in a white body. But you are like a non-person, born in one of the best lives that a person can have. Being born in the USA. What you must have missed out on. How mesmerising it must be, to be born in the USA, and apparently have no sense of the innocence of material life, or the exileration of collective experiences, based on the inherent faith in life. Life cannot make much sense, if one is born in the USA, and don't understand the central message of the place: that material life is sacred. And people wonder why the world is full of petty argumentation and wars over traffic metres, and stuff like that. The person standing next to you, knows too much more. And they have had a chance to enjoy and love that place you are existentially stuck in like a bad fairground ride you don't understand.

@Rozanne - how DARE you assume you know ANYTHING about Maria's life? How about we assume that YOUR life is all peaches and cream and that you have NEVER had anything bad happen to you. Before you judge someone dearie how about taking a walk in their shoes?

Americans think life is all about pleasure and sugar plum fairies. Time to wake up. The country is hanging by a thread, the world is on the brink of nuclear annihilation. We are all going to die someday, just face the facts. This life is short and just a test for the next. America has failed its test, its people are depraved, selfish, petty, lacking in principles or values, thinking only of the moment, not considering the consequences of 39 years of butchering 1.5 million human babies a year. The world is falling apart heading into nuclear world war, and anybody who thinks God will protect baby-murdering America "drunk with the blood of the saints," protect or bless a nation of hard-hearted, thankless people, who don't care about their own kids, let alone unborn babies slaughted in the abortion mills, people who who can't be thankful for others who take their own time and money to speak the truth in the face of the lies of the controlled media, the controlled education system, the vile world system that is corrupting their own children they claim to want to "protect." You would think parents would not want their own children to be as depraved as they themselves are.

These comments show how corrupt and brainwashed the American people are. Too much stinking TV. Take your kids out of the stinking government schools, from the evil culture. Repent. Imagine facing God on Judgment Day with a heart as hard and selfish as yours, and to want your children to think as you do.

You didn't want kids seeing the signs? That's your admission you are afraid of the truth, and believe in censorship. If you believed in protecting the children, you wouldn't hypocritically be an advocate for covering up the butchering of them. Abortion is like rape-- preying upon the weak and helpless. Except the rapist doesn't charge money like the abortion mills do, and the rapist usually lets the victim live instead of chopping the victim to pieces. How does it feel to carry on at a level of Stone Age violence advocacy supporting something worse than what rapists do? What possesses sick people in the abortion mills to turn innocent children into hamburger? What possesses you to cover up for them by trying to censor the truth as shown by the pictures? You convict yourself, revealing your aspirations for a dictatorship regime that runs on censorship and butchery when you think it's OK to grab the sign and smash it. The hate is from the people killing babies, and the ignorance is from the people advocating censorship of the truth.

Here's what Maria was really doing. It's her version of freedom of speech and non-violence. She wants to protect the profits of the abortion industry, not the innocent children who are being butchered. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUZmDw5unig&feature=relmfu&fb_source=message

Most of the people posting here do not care what is done to 1.5 human babies, don't care, but they just don't want THEIR children to see it. Do they even care about their own children really? Or do they just not want to be faced with questions they don't want to answer, since they personally think aborting babies is a fantastic idea and they support it all the way. But they don't want to admit to their children as to what compete barbarians and monsters they really are in their inner selves. They don't care if their kids see all kinds of horrific things, as long as they don't have to answer any questions and be forced to lie about their own support for such horrors. Or maybe they had one or two abortions themselves, and would rather their kids didn't know that they are lucky to be alive, that yes indeed it could have been their picture up on the graphic abortion signs.

Maybe 12 year olds are more "mature" than the so-called adults we have today, that if they can reason "that could have been me," they can realize what a barbaric society they live in and perhaps not go with the flow, like the rest of society whose conscience was long ago blown to the winds. The whole entire country is slated to be destroyed (per Jeremiah 50 and 51, Rev. 17 and 18) for being "drunk with the blood of the saints," so if you think seeing a graphic abortion sign is hard to take, wait until the nukes start falling and you'll see something really horrific.

How would you like it if somebody chopped on your body? Why don't you put your hypocrisy to the test at the nearby abortion mill-- ask them to cut on you like they cut on an innocent baby, and see how long it takes you to scream for a stop to the butchery when it is YOUR body that is being cut on. The parents who don't like the signs feel guilty over the other kids they have slaughtered, and don't want to admit it in front of their children. The shame is on the murdering parents, not the people who expose their butchery. No murderer wants his guilt to be held up to public inspection, and the murderer's rage at being exposed helps convict him (or her) of their guilt. "Deserved to have her sign broken" because you don't like the message? You expose yourself as an advocate of dictatorship and censorship, and reveal you are of the same brutish mentality as Hitler or Stalin. You also reveal with your "firm smack" crack you are an advocate of censorship violence, which further reveals your ambitions for dictatorship. As you say, the pictures show it COULD have been any kid-- except the kids learning from the signs (when you aspire to censorship and ignorance) learn their parents had sense enough to save their lives. The rest, the senseless ones who killed their kids, reveal by their lack of sense to be the real idiots here. Any doubts? Try abortion on yourself. Until you do, you are just another murderous hypocrite.

The children ARE more mature than the warped "adults" who don't have a clue how to be responsible the way truly grown-up people are. When my kids were 4 and 7, they weren't learning to look before crossing the street-- no matter how often I told them. So, I wanted to teach them the reality of human mortality and what happens when a person dies. So, I took them to the Univ. Iowa Anatomy Dept. cadaver lab, to look at humans chopped to pieces. The result? My son became a biology major and my daughter became an emergency room doctor. That's how harmful real chopped up people are for kids to see. The people who object to this practice of witnessing gore vary from abject ignoramuses to those who want to hide from their children the fact that the idiot parents already killed off their brothers and sisters. Like any other murderer, abortion murderers don't like the sad truth of their greed and irresponsibility to come to light, and there is no lie they won't attempt to conceal their guilt. If they ever learn to repent and confess their mistake, they might find alleviation. But denial only makes their internal wounds and guilt fester, and drives some to violence and others to suicide. It's not hard to figure why the abortion pictures make the guilty so enraged so fast. They know what they are guilty of, and in reality they hate their foolish mistakes.

@ Cab McCann please do a little bit of research before you say that it is BS that abortions have been performed to save the life of the mother. . . wait, I did that for you. . .here: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2010/05/15/20100515phoenix-catholic-nun-abortion.html
I, myself, hemorrhaged so badly during the c-section that I had to deliver my children after my second pregnancy that I was told it would be fatal for me to get pregnant again. My husband and I successfully practice birth control and have never had to choose one way or the other. I just think that you should take into account that the decision to have an abortion is not usually an easy one for the mother. You should go read your bible again because Matthew 7 says it all.

I stand by what I said, the vast, vast majority of abortions are done for convenience or to hide the results of their adultery. And lots of women have had babies after their doctors gave them dire death warnings. In fact, I recommend avoiding doctors as much as possible, have your babies at home with a midwife, and you won't be needing or getting any caesarians. If you got pregnant, do you think you would not bleed when you got your abortion? Doctors kill a lot of women every year with needless c-sections. Also, there are plenty of women who are maimed and who die from their "safe and legal" abortions each year, but of course their death certificates do not read they "died from abortion." Just like people who die from their chemo and radiation treatments, and many other medical "treatments" and medical drug side effects do not get recorded as dying from their medical treatments, but from "heart attacks," or whatever. In the end, we all die from heart attacks, don't we?

Anti-choice is what comes from the abortion mills. They are depriving the innocent child in the womb of his or her own choice to live his or her own life unmolested by selfish bloody butchery. 98% or more of abortions are due to selfish greed and have nothing to do with dangerous pregnancies or rape or incest. In the 2% or less of the rare cases, the baby is still innocent and did nothing to deserve death. What system of justice executes the innocent? The system you selfishly want for other people, but it's not justice as proven by the fact that you don't accept abortion cutting to be done on you. Let's see you volunteer for the abortionists to cut on your body, and we'll see soon enough how fast you want them to stop. Moreover, you and everyone else is the product of rape. You had 1,024 great(9x)grandmothers, and if even 1% were raped you have 10 babies from rape in your recent genealogical past. If just one had been aborted, your mom or dad wouldn't have been ultimately born, and you wouldn't be here. So, if you believe in killing babies for rape, you will have to start with yourself. But you aren't doing this, which shows you don't believe your own hypocrisy. Is it easy for any murderer to decide to kill? Does taking time to decide a difficult killing make it OK? If your neighbor agonizes for a year before decideing to cut your head off, does that make it OK? Your friend didn't get over her abortion because she knows in her bones and her guts that its murder.

Just google "Tonya Reaves" or "abortion ambulance" to see how much the abortion mills care about saving their butchered murder-mom patients. They wouldn't even call 911 to save Tonya Reaves, they just let her bleed to death in Chicago a few weeks ago. In other videos, the abortion mill staff are laughing it up if they ever get around to calling the ambulances at all to cover up their mistakes. The abortion mill profits let them hire big-time lawyers and buy off crooked judges, so Planned Parenthood's victims and their grieving families don't have much of a chance, while the head of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards is raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. The abortion murder mills also don't care that abortion and birth control pills over the last 30 years have driven the incidence of breast cancer to 13% from the previous 8%. Their friends make more money when women get cancer. So Planned Parenthood doesn't care. They make big bucks from other people's misery. Just look at the snazzy cars in the staff parking lot (south side of 850 Orchard St. in Iowa City), and you know why Planned Parenthood is laughing its way to the bank, plus endlessly trying to milk sucker taxypayers for more and more governmental subsidies.

The cervical cancer and stds go along with the unwanted pregnancies, so it's just a come-on to get poor women into these government sponsored killing fields so they can kill their babies. Poor women deserve better than that. How about kicking the Illuminati bankers and Zionists out of the country, so we can elect people once again who represent the people, instead of the traitors we have in Congress now who only work for a few Zionist Banksters in London who worship Satan. Let us issue our own currency so we can have an economy, instead of putting that power in the hands of evil men who can scientifically create depressions to their own advantage, not to mention wars, 9/11, and plagues and you name it, these evil men who run this planet by means of their funny money and their hired minions who they cut in on their shady deals. The countries who won't cooperate with these Zionist banksters get bombed and destroyed, the countries who also by the way do not abort their babies or practice sodomy, who are virgins when they marry and who stay faithful to their spouses through life. America is Babylon the Great, destined for destruction, as Jeremiah 50 and 51 says, "Oh, most proud, hammer of the whole earth, the hindermost nation, with "defenses mounted to Heaven," will be destroyed in one hour. If we won't stop the baby murder, God will stop it. America is cooked, and we can thank our stacked Supreme Court, the Zionist media, the Israel Firsters running the country.

Hitler did many things besides murder and mayhem, like building fine autobahns that America copied. Does that make Hitler a good guy? If abortion were a trivial part of Planned Parenthood, they would be willing to give it up. Not. I've seen human abortions, and they only cost about $10 to do, or less. The surgical instruments are re-used thousands of times, for a per-abortion cost of pennies. The rest is a few dollars more for paper and plastic disposable gowns, masks and gloves. In exchange for butchering a baby for under $10, they charge hundreds or thousands of dollars. Blood money is their motive, which is why PP head Cecile Richards rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Check out the staff's cars at the south end of Planned Parenthood in Iowa City (850 Orchard) and you will see their primary motive is protecting their cozy income. The harassment is harassment of innocent babies being slaughtered in exchange for committing no crime. The irresponsible fanatics are the "women" (actually sluts) who are too incompetent to control their own bodies. If they were in control of their bodies, they wouldn't have an 'unwanted' pregnancy, and every abortion is an admission of being an irresponsible selfish failure who is out of touch with the functioning of her own body. The anti-choice is coming from the abortion mill, which deprives babies of the choice to live their lives unmolested by butchery (google 'abortion pictures' for a view)-- not those saving them.

You threw juice on that man, also I don't think it was appropriate to drop "F" Bombs in front of the children you were trying to "protect."

Maria Conzemius is lying. I'm the guy she was lunging at, and as I plainly said on the video that "the old man" shot "we got her for assault," which is exactly why Maria peddled out of there before the deputies arrived. We got you on film Maria, so if I want to diddle around prosecuting you I can still do it.

Children seem to be the only ones left with a conscience. The parents have obviously lost theirs, not to mention their common sense -- thinking we can live in a nation that butchers 1.5 million babies a year and just go on as though it weren't happening, without some dire consequences, that doing such barbaric deeds on such a grand scale would not turn America into a nation of barbarians, which some of these comments attest to this having been well-accomplished. There is a God in Heaven, and our day is coming.

The pictures are horrific because abortion is horrific. That's why such uncivilized violence has to stop, and why it's time to shut down the abortion mills whose only interest is blood-money profits. What isn't sane is to kill innocent babies, and what isn't sane is to cover it up, and what isn't sane is to engage in censorship. But you know you are providing cover for those guilty of butchering the innocent, so you convict yourself of censorship and aiding and abetting violence from the Stone Age level that is worse than rape. Rapists don't charge anything, and usually let their victims live. Your abortion pals you are covering for charge plenty, and chop up their victims into little pieces. Nice company you keep, with violent butchers who are worse than rapists.

Killing off the aged and infirm has already started in American hospitals and nursing homes. It usually happens in the dead of night, when the families have been chased out of intensive care or whatever unit, and it's easy to unplug support machines at 3 am so the "patient" victim is good and dead by 6 am. Welcome to the world of Obamacare, and your premiums will be rising also. The national health program in England has been doing this since the 1970's, and of course Hitler showed the way for Obamacare in Germany in the 1930's. If you wait to see it happen to your family, it will be too late to do anything about it, but once you learn from real-world events you'll be more aware of the facts if you choose to ignore what is written here.

I'm the guy she was spazzing to get rabid with. One of her first comments on video was that pro-lifers 'don't care about the kids' that could have been aborted. So, I pointed out her hypocrisy via asking her what she did to support my kids. I asked her that question at least 3-4 times, she realized she was a total hypocrite in not doing what she demanded of others, and her realization of her own hypocrisy quickly spiralled into her own immature hissy fit. Of course she is afraid of the truth, and she refused repeatedly to answer the question. Maria has difficulty maintaining control of her mouth or her body, like any of the morons who give themselves 'unwanted' pregnancies and then try to cover up their results of their activities by killing the innocent. She repeatedly avoiding answering the question once she realized how stupid she had made herself look. She knows she is running on hot air, and like anyone who is guilty of hypocrisy she enraged herself by making it so easy to expose her hypocrisy.

Maria, please stay on topic. There are people who would vote Republican that are pro choice, and also pro lifers that vote blue. You can't lump everyone into two choices so neatly.
