The Obama campaign responds to Mitt Romney's flat-out lie
in his new ad that he has never supported banning all abortions with a new ad
entitled "Seen," which includes video of Mittens Romney saying he would be "delighted to sign" a
bill outlawing all abortion. Romney acts like he has never heard of those newfangled inventions like sound recordings and moving picture film and the "tee-vee" and the Internet. Description:
Voiceover:
"Seen this from Mitt Romney? Then take a look at this:"
Anderson Cooper:
"If
Roe v. Wade was overturned, Congress passed a federal ban on all
abortions, and it came to your desk — would you sign it? 'Yes', or
'no?'"
Mitt Romney:
"Let me say it: I'd be delighted to sign that bill."
Voiceover:
"Banning all abortions?"
Mitt Romney:
"I'd be delighted to sign that bill."
Voiceover:
"Trying to mislead us? That's wrong. But ban all abortions? Only…if you vote for him."

Sens. Paula Aboud (D-LD 28) and Linda Lopez (D-LD 29) brought their Women Ignited Now (W.I.N.) rally to the Saguaro Eastside Democrats on Monday night.
Sen. Aboud recommended viewing online this video entitled “Vote,” directed by Steve Anderson, which was shown at the W.I.N. rallies around the state but for which there was not enough time to show at the SED meeting last night. Sen. Aboud recommended grassroots activism – the "rule of 10" — share this video with 10 of your friends and family, and pass it on.
