Sen. Bob Casey barely mentioned abortion during his speech tonight at on the floor of the Democratic National Convention.
In 1992, former Pennsylvania governor Bob Casey Sr. wanted to discuss his opposition to abortion but was denied a speaking slot. His son barely touched on the subject in his speech tonight.
“Traveling around Pennsylvania, and looking around this room, I have no doubt that is exactly what we’re going to do. So now let us work together, with a leader who, as Lincoln said, appeals to the better angels of our nature. Barack Obama and I have an honest disagreement on the issue of abortion. But the fact that I’m speaking here tonight is testament to Barack’s ability to show respect for the views of people who may disagree with him.”
