Obama greeted by anti-abortion protesters
ROCHESTER, N.H. -- At Barack Obama's last town hall meeting he was briefly interrupted by a large group of anti-abortion protesters that shouted "abortion is abomination".
Obama calmed the group telling them that he respected them but that "we aren't going to solve this right now".
After about two minutes the incident was over.
The event took place at the Rochester Opera House. The building was full with about 1,000 people and another 200 people weren't allowed in for lack of space.
