Anti-abortion protesters heckle Obama

[origin1286]

Rochester, N.H. -- Obama was heckled from the balcony of a theater here. A group of about 10 protestors began to chant "Abortion is abomination." The audience in turn began to shout, "Obama! Obama!" And in the top balcony many started screaming at the protestors telling them to shut up.

And he said, "Let me just say this though. Some people got organized to do that. That's part of the American tradition we are proud of. And thats hard too, standing in the midst of people who disagree with you and letting your voice be heard."

4. I bet those protesters are for abstinence education and against birth control

Both position which leads America to have a high abortion rate...

5. We just got home from this rally.

These guys were in our section. Good thing the cops came when they did. Things were on the verge of getting ugly.

7. Good for him

I actually love that response from Obama. He remains open minded.

Such a relief from closed-minded politicians.

Not sure why you find that to be a negative.

8. I guess its good...he could change his mind like Reagan, Bush I and Romney. nt.

9. Indiana...you forgot to mention Kucinich...

he was staunchly pro-life until he found out the last time he tried to find the presidency that his stance would affect his campaign.

Choice is not an issue we need to play with. Obama came close to opening pandora's box with his 'moral' bit the other day.

I mean, what the heck, you want pro-life, anti birth control, then elect the doofus Huckleberry.

10. So you're saying...

choice vs life isn't a moral issue?

11. I hate abortion protesters, but I miss dissent

Remember when you could go and protest a politician? Without "Free Speech Zones"?
