Anti-abortion protesters interrupted HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' commencement speech at Georgetown University this morning. After the protesters were forced out by security, Sebelius continued her speech to heavy applause from the audience.

Catholic and ant-abortion groups campaigned against Georgetown for choosing Sebelius as a commencement speaker after she issued the HHS contraception mandate. The Archdiocese of Washington also issued a statement criticizing the University.
