Pro-Lifer Heckles Obama Speech

A less than a full house attended Obama’s stump rally for Martha Coakley, the Democrat who is currently behind in the polls for Ted Kennedy's Senate Seat. Mr. Obama commanded the microphone before the Coakley supporters as she smiled nervously at his side, hands clasped together. But the interruptions were loud and frequent. Obama had to pause, begin, pause again, stutter a bit, laugh nervously, and move away from camera view until the crowd settled down. At one point, his speech was completely stopped by a heckler who was shouting while holding up a sign that read “Jesus Loves All Babies.” If the Republican wins the Senate Seat, Democrats will have to accept the Senate version of the Health Care bill, which would not allow them to pay for abortions to babies (whereas the House version would).
