This is the most important issue in this election. Whoever wins will shape the Supreme Court for the next 10 to 20 years.
If you want Roe vs. Wade overturned, either don't vote or vote for Romney. He'll appoint justices like Alito, Roberts and Scalia. They overturn every progressive decision of the last 50 years. They'll make state bans on gay marriage constitutional. They'll protect the rights of corporations and the wealthy.
If you want Citizen's United overturned, get out and vote for President Obama. He'll appoint more justices like Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. They'll protect Roe and other progressive decisions. They'll help overturn Citizen's United and protect the rights of individuals.
That is what is at stake in this election. Don't let anyone tell you different. Don't let them tell you that President Obama is just not progressive enough. Anyone who says that is helping the GOP and the right wing. When the perfect is the enemy of the good the evil often triumph. Don't let evil triumph and don't let Mitt Romney pick the next one or two, possibly more, supreme court justices.
