Why was Norma McCorvey arrested?

I don't believe that Ms. McCorvey actually was arrested. According to the Associated Press...
...protesting Saturday was Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff identified as "Roe" in the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. She now opposes abortion.
She said she had planned to be arrested on Saturday, but changed her mind when a security officer ushered her to the side and gave her a chance to walk away.
"I didn't know why he just kind of gently moved me away. So I'm like, maybe this isn't the right time," McCorvey said.

These events are related to President Obama's planned speech at Sunday's commencement exercises at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
More from the AP...
About 150 people, including students, parents and alumni, prayed with D'Arcy for three things: that Obama will change his support of abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research, that people throughout the world gain a greater respect for life and that Notre Dame and other Roman Catholic universities will more fully embrace their Catholic identity.

Wow! A question on breaking news!
Sorry that I was not aware of the events that had already occurred this morning.
I finally found a link...she was arrested...CNN showed the footage a few minutes ago.
