Trump Considering Extreme Anti-Abortion Judge for Supreme Court
---------------------------------------------------------------

Trump says he'll name his pick to fill the late Antonin Scalia's seat on
the Supreme Court as early as next week. Two contenders for the seat
have emerged: Judge William Pryor Jr. and Neil Gorsuch. Pryor is a
fierce opponent of abortion who has called Roe v. Wade the "worst
abomination of constitutional law in our history." He also opposes LGBT
rights and has backed an anti-sodomy law in Texas.
