Planned Parenthood is just around the corner from my house. There is also a Genesis Crisis Pregnancy Center nearby.

I would have liked a better Bokeh on this however I only have the 18-50mm f4.5 kit lens on my Canon.

This is my first post processing using the Gimp. Possible Critiques are going to be:
- Snapshot
- Noise
- DNMC

Why would a Jewish person get offended by this? It is a simple comparison of the unjustified murder of millions of Jews to the unjustified murder of tens of millions of babies.

Sorry, but if you are going to expose me to you right wing christian politics I have to give you a 1.
Furthermore, as a person of Jewish heritage I am offended. Shame on you.

Good reportage image about an issue that, i imagine, is prevalent in your area. Interesting take on the challenge which i like very much. One's corner of the world is shaped as much by it's people and politics as by it's landscape so i applaud you for that. The actual anti-choice message given by the woman is one which i find abhorrent so there is an added emotional content there as well of course. Excellent. 9.

I am glad that somebody chose something political, it makes for an interesting and provocative image and after all politics are of the people - what better cornerstone?

More of a political statement than a representative of your corner of the world IMO.

err... It doesn't look like this picture was really set up, or that much effort went into it. Maybe you're just trying to put your views out there. Definitely gonna get some low votes on this. Maybe this would have been better in B&W, at least.
