Anti-abortion protesters heckle Obama at Catholic university

Nearly 40 people were arrested as they tried to enter the University of Notre Dame to protest at President Barack Obama’s appearance at commencement.

At least 39 people were taken into custody on trespassing charges, police Sgt Bill Redman said, including Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff identified as “Roe” in the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision that legalised abortion. She now opposes abortion.
