That was an anti-abortion loon who interrupted Jeffries from the gallery.

From NBC News:

Jeffries was briefly interrupted by a protester yelling loudly. 

The protester was escorted out of the chamber within seconds, and Jeffries resumed his remarks, but the protester continued to scream loudly just outside the chamber, on the third floor near the press gallery.

He could be heard yelling, "Schumer is the devil," "Dismiss the trial of impeachment," and he repeatedly mentioned abortion, as he was arrested and led away by Capitol Police.

I fucking hate anti-abortion nutbags. They want to be the loudest voice in the room and drown everyone else out, whether by volume or violence.

I walked down to my local Planned Parenthood yesterday and made a small donation. Try to do that on a monthly basis - and it's particularly fun when there are fundie protestors out on the sidewalk!

henchmen to continue ripping this republic apart, and the white supremacists to continue moving us closer to another Holocaust. Hey, as long as they get their way and make abortion illegal, the rest of the planet and the rest of us can go straight to that proverbial lake of fire where the worm never dies.

Shit.

Wednesday marks 47 years since landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

P.S. My daughter's birthday! In hospital in 'labor' watching DC demonstrations (35 years ago.)
