At the 1992 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic governor of the state of Pennsylvania, Robert Casey, was prohibited from speaking. The Clintons and their associates had blacklisted Casey because he wanted to speak against legalized abortion — as a pro-lifer, Casey was an increasing oddity in the modern Democratic party. The governor, engaged in a simultaneous fight to preserve his own life from a rare and fatal disease, never stopped lamenting how his party, which claimed to champion the little guy, utterly refused to defend the most innocent and defenseless.
After the incident, Governor Casey sensed things would only get worse in his party, which was now totally beholden to a radical feminism. His worst nightmares materialized in 1993, when the new first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton, sought to revolutionize the American health-care and abortion industries. In a televised forum discussing her national health-care plan that October, Mrs. Clinton said that abortion services “would be widely available.”

In 2006, another Bob Casey rose to national prominence: the late governor’s son, Robert P. Casey Jr., also a committed pro-life Irish Catholic. Casey had his eyes on a U.S. Senate seat, and challenged and defeated Senator Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) — ousting the Senate’s best defender of unborn human life. This thrilled abortion-rights supporters, but Casey himself was pro-life. The anti-abortion movement hoped Casey Jr. might pick up the torch from Santorum, and might even shake up his own party on the issue.

Just one empty suit to another.
Casey Jr. is not pro life.
This jerk’s election is on the head of every “oh so delicate” soul who JUST COULDN'T vote for a Republican because of foley or Ney. They allowed themselves to be stampeded and became self delusional that casey would not stab the unborn in the back as he now has.
You people threw out Rick Santorum and his 92% ACU rating to vote for a typical democrat scumbag. Wallow in it.
Neither was Santorum.
That is a load of BS.
I think you mean Arlen, ‘The Spectre’ Specter.
How many times did Slick Rick introduce the Right to Life amendment?
So that makes him NOT pro-life????? OK.........
