Yes, Virginia, they are a threat to Roe v. Wade (PERFECT Campaign Ad)

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/clip/4029990&newclip

The above was my best attempt at creating this. I think it's damning.

I'd also like to thank the C-Span clip function for the chunks of hair I just ripped out, as I had to use math to determine how to morph the cut the player yields with my desired cut, and then it stopped saving them altogether. So I'm not 100% happy with the end cut, but after over an hour of fighting with this thing, this is the best I've got.

just cut this properly (you can tell the beginning point and the end point I'm going for) and upload it to youtube?

My inability to get the C-Span clip creator to behave (and I'm a perfectionist) and my inability to share this via youtube is making me crazy plus.

Or if someone can create a file that I can upload to youtube, I'd be glad to upload this to youtube.

Summary: this needs to be on youtube.

It really should be a campaign commercial. Big time.

doing it by the math because it keeps shifting my choice if I don't, I either cut Biden a hair early on the word "appoint" or it just goes too far into the next beat of "do you (think he's likely to)."

So I'm done trying because I know when I'm defeated (and will generally try about eight more times after that).

But if someone can cut this and give me a file I can upload to youtube... this is how to explode any detritus mucking up the gender gap.

And appending Cecile Richards:

"What you heard tonight is that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan aren't just going to take women back four years, they're going to take women back forty years."

I heard an interview with a young woman in college saying that she did not have to worry about Romney being president because he can not make abortion and birth control illegal. Not a thought about the supreme court appointments. This point has to be driven home.
