"When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe v. Wade, I think that is unlikely,'' Specter said, referring to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

And I would expect the president to be mindful of the considerations which I am mentioning.''
