Is this a subterfuge to get out of speaking at a Catholic college?

From the Associated Press:

BUFFALO -- Sen. Hillary Clinton collapsed during an appearance here Monday before delivering a speech on Social Security. Colleen DiPirro, president of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, told WBEN-AM radio that Clinton told the crowd she was feeling weak and had had a stomach virus. Clinton started to speak then collapsed, DiPirro told the radio station.

Clinton was scheduled to speak Monday at a Catholic college despite protests from anti-abortion groups and reluctance from the Catholic diocese. She was expected to discuss health care, not her pro-choice stance on abortion -- the cause of the protesters' anger. Several hundred people were waiting to hear that address. There were also hundreds of protesters waiting at the college.

Sounds like enough to give her a tummy ache.
