Elect Romney, and kiss Roe v. Wade goodbye. It's really as simple as that.

Doesn't matter what Romney says (or doesn't say) about abortion or a woman's right to choose.

As President, he'll likely have the opportunity to appoint at least one (perhaps more) Supreme Court justices.

Anybody really think that he's going to appoint a progressive justice?

No, he'll get somebody to appease the conservatives in this country - after all, he doesn't want to face a rethug challenger for re-election in 2016.

Once the SCOTUS is firmly in the grasp of the conservatives, you can pretty much kiss goodbye to Roe v. Wade. Say hello again to back-alley abortions, women dying from unsupervised and unregulated care.

That worked out so well back in the day, didn't it?

With Romney, you can count on those good-old-days coming back.

THIS is what needs to be front and center during this campaign.

The Supreme Court and its balance should be a main issue in the debates. Front and center. Hope it gets addressed tonight!
