Mr. Obama spoke to a crowd of 1,500 people on the Solomon Court on the campus. More than 2,500 people listened in an overflow room. The president’s speech was interrupted three times by screaming abortion protesters, who were led away by the police. He smiled and paused until the disruptions ended.

Lots of us didn't even get in the overflow room.
