U.S. Capitol Police have arrested a dozen anti-abortion activists outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office after a massive protest against the Democrats’ health care bill.

The charges ranged from unlawful conduct to disorderly conduct and unlawful entry in the incident, which happened around 2:15 p.m. EST Thursday outside a second-floor suite in the Cannon House Office Building, Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said.

Pelosi’s aides said the suite is hers. The speaker also has offices in the Capitol, which is harder to enter to stage a protest.

It was unclear whether the group attended the Tea Party protest that ended around that time. But the speaker’s staff said those arrested were objecting to language in the health care overhaul that they said would allow federally subsidized abortions.

Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis., said he has no question the massive rally was a worthwhile undertaking.

“The concern, patriotism and focus of the people who are here is sure to have an impact,” he said. “It may not overnight, but it’s definitely making a difference.”

Missy Smith, president of Women Against the Killing and Exploitation of Unprotected Persons, or WAKE UP, told WND she is leading a sit-in protest outside Pelosi’s Washington office.

“We’re protesting because the bill would provide taxpayer funding of child-killing,” she said. “We will crumple the massive bill one page at a time and leave it tattered on the floor. We are deeply troubled that Nancy Pelosi wants to fund the murder of innocent babies under the guise of health care. She’s a Catholic, and she should know better.”

As a mother who has counseled many others through the injuries and haunting sorrow of abortion, Smith said she’s ready to be arrested if that’s what it takes to stop this legislation fraught with danger to women, babies, the disabled and the elderly.
