Bush vs. Roe vs. Wade



The current Supreme Court justices support abortion rights by a 5-4 margin. But it's a shaky majority at best: one of the justices who wants abortion to remain legal is 84-year-old John Paul Stevens. He looks pretty healthy in the picture above, but I don't know when it was taken.

If Stevens retires or dies, President Bush will get to replace him. And chances are Bush will choose someone anti-abortion, given that his judicial nominees tend to lean conservative. So, to put it simply: if Bush wins, abortion may be outlawed in his term.

Whether you're pro-choice or pro-life, Justice Stevens' health is something you might want to think about when you vote.
