TPMDC Video: Costumed Anti-Abortion Protesters Heckle Congressional Staffers

Anti-abortion groups regularly station morning protesters at the Capitol South Metro stop on the House side of the Capitol building as staffers head into work. Today they went with a Halloween theme, dressed as Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Harry Reid covered in blood and chained together.
TPMDC was on the scene and captured some video of the group as they orchestrated a scene of Pelosi and Reid being tortured by demons thanks to (presumably) supporting abortion. They also were opposed to the health care bill revealed today.
"Staffers, Hill rats, join Nancy Pelosi in hell!" they shouted as Metro riders walked by. They also shouted they wanted to "Kill the bill, not babies."
I took a few photos and shot the video you can watch after the jump.
ThinkProgress reports that Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry was orchestrating the scene.

My wife is a Director of Youth Services at a crisis shelter for (primarily) foster children. If children are not adopted by age 5, they're basically stuck as a ward of the state until age 18. Upon hitting age 18, the array of options and social services available to them DRASTICALLY reduces.
Your statement is the absolute truth and I couldn't have said it better myself.

An early embryo combined with a womb, natural or artificial, has the potential to become a person but is not yet a person. A single celled fertilized human egg is not a person. That it has human DNA is a characteristic that it shares with a hang nail. Now that we can clone, any living cell in a hang nail has the potential to become a human person if we provide the right conditions.
There is no moral problem with ending the life of a either a hang nail cell prepared for cloning or for the life of a fertilized human egg.

It cost about 500 bucks to have an abortion and $20,000 to carry a fetus to term and deliver the child in a US hospital.
Maybe these people should be pushing for single payer universal health care since by default less people would have an abortion.
But I regress I am using logic.

"Stupid" overstates their intelligence.
I never knew Randall Terry was into S&M. But I wish I never knew.
Must go wash out eyes.

Sometime in the past year, someone flicked a switch somewhere and all the nutjobs in America have been steadily stepping forward in their glorious lunacy ever since, making it easy to tell the men from the boys (so to speak).

Anyone else notice too that the ghoul on the right keeps on whipping the dead girl in the pelvic area? What's up with that? The whole thing looks like a wannabe exotic erotic ball thing. S&M fail.

But the Inquisition's here and it's here to staaaaaayyyy!"
I bet they're similing behind those masks that they get to wear their "private" paraphernalia out in public and have fun doing so.

Presumably the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and virtually all residents of the EU, Canada, and the rest of the (non US) free world will also see fiery end, burning in Hades, because they too support "socialized" healthcare, and virtually all of them already LIVE in a country that had bowed to the devil...

Oh god that's hilarious. In the middle when they start screaming howling, I just busted out laughing. It's hard to believe they are even serious, it's so laughable. Are we sure this isn't some kind of parody?

Christina, Randall Terry is the grey-haired guy giving instructions in the beginning, and then the hooded idiot saying spooky stuff through the bullhorn at the end. What a moron. Does anyone really take him seriously any more?

I wonder how much Senator Vitter would pay for this kind of treatment, "Oh the fire hurts baby, give me some more."
Sorry, I forgot, he likes diapers.
