Don’t believe everything you read- especially in the Times. Carey was a total load, a product of the old Democrat machine in New York. He was pro-life until he needed to be pro-abortion to run as a Dem. When his terms were over he miraculously found Jesus again and became pro-life.
I heard Carey speak at the March for Life many years ago. I hope his repudiation of his years as a pro-abort were sincere.
