'One is as old as he feels, and I feel pretty well.'
Author of Roe vs. Wade turns 85 Friday
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Harry
A. Blackmun's eyes grew wide with surprise, and
he hurried to his desk to retrieve a chart of former
justices.
A quick scan confirmed that, indeed, the author of
the 1973 decision legalizing abortion is the fourth old
est person ever to serve on the nation's highest court.
He'll become the third
oldest before the current
court term ends in June.
"Holy smokes. I
hadn't been aware of
that," said a chuckling
Blackmun, who turns 85
Friday. "I may have to
start packing my things."
But he turned serious
before answering the
next question: Is this
term Blackmun's last?
"I prefer not to comment on that yet," he said in
an interview with The Associated Press. "I know
how old I am. One is as old as he feels, and I feel
pretty well."
Blackmun is best known for Roe vs. Wade and for
his role in subsequent abortion rulings.
It's made him the most vilified Supreme Court
member in history, the recipient of more than 60,000
pieces of hate mail in the past two decades.
For years, the court appeared on the verge of over
turning Roe vs. Wade and letting states outlaw abor
tion once again. But a ruling last year reaffirmed
women's constitutional right to end their pregnancies.
"I think it's now a settled issue with this court,"
Blackmun said. "There isn't the same emotional re
action there once was among the justices. We've
weathered the storm."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, considered a strong sup
porter of the right to abortion, has joined the court
since last year's ruling. And any successor to Black
mun chosen by President Clinton is likely to hold
similar views.
Blackmun, the court's senior member, has con
templated and talked about retiring before. Now his
three daughters are lobbying him to leave the life-
tenure job he's held since 1970 and move to Florida.
Blackmun acknowledged that Byron R. White, a
mere 75, "beat me to the punch" by retiring last June.
White's move ended great
inside-the-Beltway specula
tion about Clinton's first op
portunity to make a Supreme
Court appointment. And it
ended a running gag be
tween White and Blackmun.
"We'd pass each other in
the hall and he'd ask, 'Have
you retired yet?' I'd say,
'Nope, have you?"' Black
mun said.
"I'm still here. I still enjoy
the job," he said. "I don't

know what I'll do when I retire."
He returns to Rochester, Minn., for a physical ex
amination each summer at the Mayo Clinic, where
he served as general counsel in the 1950s.
"These days," Blackmun said, "the final report al
ways begins, 'Well, considering your age....'"
Oliver Wendell Holmes didn't retire until he was
90, in 1932. Chief Justice Roger Taney died in office
in 1864 at 87.
Justice Hugo Black, with whom Blackmun served
one term, retired at 85 years and six months - a
milestone Blackmun will pass this spring.
A lifelong Republican and a federal appellate
judge for a decade, Blackmun was considered a
staunch conservative in his early days as a justice.
Today, he is considered to be the court's most liberal
justice, but he has told friends the court's politics
have changed more than his own.
