Attendees at the National Right to Life Convention had nearly filled a hotel conference room Friday for a conservative author's talk when the news broke around 10 a.m. ET.
Cheers could be heard from outside the room, and a man shouted, "Roe's been overturned!"
Inside the room, some started clapping, while others checked their phones in the minutes after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
