Another Casey on the Campaign Trail.(Bob Casey, Jr. seeks nomination to become governor of Pennsylvania)(Brief Article)
Attempting to follow in his father's legendary footsteps, Bob Casey, Jr., is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor of Pennsylvania.
Pro-lifers fondly remember the unyielding pro-life convictions and staunch efforts of the late Bob Casey, Sr., who served as governor from 1987 to 1995. Casey was an eloquent and emphatic spokesman for unborn children, in turn encouraging, then castigating, the Democratic Party for not standing up for the innocent preborn babies.
His son, Bob Casey, Jr., won his first bid for office in 1996, winning election as auditor general. He was re-elected in 2000 by a record-setting margin for a Democrat running statewide in Pennsylvania.
Casey, who believes abortion should only be allowed if the mother's life is in danger, isn't shy about his pro-life convictions. At a debate sponsored by the Democratic Women's Caucus, Casey said that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a bill to ban abortion except in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother, he would sign it, adding that "everyone here knows I'm pro-life."
