Sen. Casey Sells Out Pro-Lifeness & Pro-Lifers

| 1 Comment

Pennsylvania pro-lifers who voted for pro-life Democrat Bob Casey, Jr., in the U.S. Senatorial election of 2006 because they were angry with proactive, pro-life Sen. Rick Santorum, take note.

Last week Sen. Bob Casey, Jr., voted in favor of Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-Calif., rated-100 percent-by-NARAL) amendment that would weaken the Mexico City policy, reports Philadelphia's The Bulletin.

Here's Bulletin reporter Joe Murray's story and his explanation of the Mexico City policy below:

The policy, which was first instigated by President Ronald Regan in the 1980s and later revived by President Bush in 2001, prevents the federal government from earmarking U.S. tax dollars to organizations that perform and/or promote abortions throughout the world. It has long been the target of pro-choice politicians who claim the measure is oppressive.

Looks like the Mexico City policy has also now become the target of Sen. Casey who put his abortion-friendly Democratic Party over his self-proclaimed pro-life credentials. Adding insult to injury of pro-life voters, Casey's support of Boxer's amendment expressed his willingness to spend taxpayers' dollars on abortion.

Casey's win over Santorum, a highly effective former senator and powerful Republican, was a major victory for the Democrats and a major loss for Pennsylvanians -- pro-life and otherwise.

"prevents the federal government from earmarking U.S. tax dollars to organizations that perform and/or promote abortions throughout the world"

Respectfully speaking, you have to be a really sick person/organization to a "promoter" of abortion. Bob Casey Jr has not abandoned pro-lifers, he voted the way he did bc these organizations promote contraception, which he supports, as does the majority of American Catholics. Every vote has several implications, it's easy to decipher the outcome in black & white terms.
