Protesters disrupted the annual fundraising banquet held by the Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington Thursday. While local police helped remove the demonstrators, no arrests were made.

The protesters, who were linked to two groups, OurRightsDC and ShutDown DC, disrupted the proceedings at least six times, said Michael New, an associate professor at the Catholic University of America who studies and publishes on the social science of pro-life issues. On Twitter, ShutDown DC said their interruptions of the private gathering totaled “7 actually.”
