McCain floor speech interrupted by abortion protest

By Daniel Strauss - 06/05/12 05:16 PM ET

As Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was concluding a floor speech on Tuesday a man in the Senate gallery interrupted McCain, yelling "abortion!"

The man's shouts were mostly inaudible.

"Obama ... three-thousand babies died ... abortion! abortion!" the man said. His shouts eventually changed to cries that "abortion is sin."


McCain's speech was on administration leaks related to Iran and made no mention of abortion rights.

The man was quickly removed from the gallery and Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) began his floor speech.
