You are right and I am wrong. It is not technically speaking a sound bite but it is presented in an inflamnatory fashion thanks to the voice-over.

{whispering} I found several YouTube clips that had that quote in there. I chose the one that happened to also be a pro-life commercial, just cuz I could. There are plenty of other clips on YouTube of the exact same statement that don't have the pro-life message in the voice-over :thumbup:

Your welcome, green. That is why I posted the speech, so others could read what else he said.

That being said, I don't really care, I am still voting for him. There are a lot more important issues in this country other than abortion. We are at war, our economy is terrible, so many people are losing their homes, millions don't have health insurance. I think Obama could make a change, especially when it comes to women's health. I don't really agree with late term abortions, but what is the alternative? Vote for Mccain, just because he is prolife? No thanks.

Carrie I'm not voting for Senator Obama in spite of his views on women's rights, I agree with him that this is not a cut and dried issue. It is a very complicated issue that makes it imperative that we keep women's right to choose legal.

He understands about the Consitutionality of women having the right to have control over their bodies and the unconstitutionality of other people wanting to exert their own control over women's bodies. He has been willing to be open and honest about his views on this issue and he is willing to go to bat for women's rights.

He will not be deterred by someone in the back of the room shouting, baby killer! He knows that Roe v. Wade is more important than just one side of the question. I know it is offensive to some people that he wants to keep abortion legal, but this issue is something that goes to the very core of women's rights and I am very pleased that we have someone who will stand up for us.

If I were an American citizen I would vote for Obama, too. My brother is and he will be voting for him. As you have so correctly pointed out, abortion is just one of a myriad of issues which currently beset your country. The team, McCain and Palin, which the Republicons have on offer seem to be of no more than average ability and yet they seem emotional, arrogant and set in their ways. Obama, on the other hand, seems to be extremely intelligent, cerebral rather than emotional, and smart enough to know when he does not know something; this is a man who will know when to consult experts, something which is important in any leader but particularly so when this individual will be in charge of a country which is a global super-power.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
