Specials
The new TV movie Swing Vote (9 p.m., ABC) (produced by Jerry "Top Gun" Bruckheimer) imagines an America where abortion is once again illegal and a woman can be prosecuted for murder if she terminates a pregnancy. When one woman (Lisa Gay Hamilton) appeals her murder conviction to the Supreme Court, it's up to Andy Garcia, surely the hunkiest justice to ever grace the bench (sorry, David Souter!), to cast the deciding vote. The 1995 documentary Troublesome Creek: A Midwestern (check local times, PBS), about a couple struggling to keep the family farm from going under, gets another showing.
