WASHINGTON - Six followers of anti-abortion activist Randall Terry were arrested Wednesday outside the office of House Speaker John Boehner. The protesters were demanding that Boehner, himself a staunch opponent of abortion, not give in to the Senate on the issue of defunding Planned Parenthood.

Capitol Police took the six into custody on unlawful assembly charges after they blocked a hallway outside Boehner's private office. Congress is not in session this week and Boehner was not in his office.

"Our pro-life constituencies are weary of campaign promises and empty rhetoric," said Terry, the founder of Operation Rescue. "We don't want another symbolic victory."

Terry, who was not among those arrested, said that if House Republicans give in to the Senate on the Planned Parenthood funding issue his followers would run primaries against Boehner and other Republican leaders and would urge anti-abortion members of the House to hold the spending bill hostage.
