Four anti-abortion protesters disrupted a a speech by Sen. Bob Casey today in the Capitol before they were removed by police. Casey, a pro-life Democrat who emerged at the center of the fight over abortion funding in the federal health care bill, was in Harrisburg to open a photographic exhibit on hunger in America. Casey had just thanked his wife, Terese, for introducing him at the crowded event in the Capitol Rotunda when the protestors stood up one by one, shouting that he “voted to fund abortion.” During the five-minute disruption, Casey stood and listened, responding as one shouted, “You say you’re pro-life.” “I am,” the senator said.
