I can see it now that you pointed it out, but I didn't place the older him my mind calls up with that person in the video at first. He was a pompous ass for the time, but now days he would be considered genteel by comparison to what we're up against when it comes to discussing reproductive rights. They send out their loudest and most aggressive speakers, or so my experience has been. If they can talk over you, then they win. If you talk over them, then they twist it into a win for them. It's not even that we're up against people who are intellectually a challenge, they're just loud and rude. It's a constant source of frustration, and beyond keeping on topic and keeping our cool there's little else we can do that I know.
