THIS IS THE GOVERNOR WHO WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN 1992:
On October 2, 1992, the Governor was scheduled to give a speech at the Cooper Union School in Pennsylvania. The title of his speech was titled, “Can a Liberal Be Pro-Life.” This school is a historic place where Presidents, Grant, Cleveland, Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt had spoken.

When Casey walked up to the platform, he was shouted down by pro-choice, pro-abortion protesters. He tried to silence the crowd but was unsuccessful and said, “The Democratic Convention suspended the First Amendment and tonight you did the same thing.”

It seems that every other class of underdog has enjoyed the advocacy and protection of the Democratic Party; the unborn children have been excluded.

“The gradual transformation to advocate for abortion rights, which began shortly after Roe, reached its pinnacle at the 1992 Democratic Convention when Governor Bog Casey was silenced. While many Democrats had left the party during the Reagan years, pro-life Democrats left in droves after 1992.”… p. 13

“Governor Casey had just been re-elected a Pennsylvania’s governor by more than a one million-vote margin, defeating a pro-choice Republican. He won 66 of 67 counties, a feat that has not been matched by any other statewide candidate…. He had an impressive reputation of advocating and caring for the weak, the poor, and disenfranchised.”… p. 14
“As governor, Bob Casey rebuilt and reinvigorated the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania.” … p. 15

“The theme of the 1992 Democratic Convention would be “unity and inclusion.”… However, “unity and inclusion” was not the message sent to pro-life Democrats, and instead the Democratic leadership sent a message that pro-life Democrats were not welcome in the big tent of the Democratic Party.”… p. 16

“In Casey’s book Fighting for Life he said, “I wasn’t looking to stir up rancor. All I wanted was a chance to speak to offer a strong dissent on the party’s historic commitment to protecting the powerless.”… A Casey aide proposed that the platform include language to make abortion rare. The language stated, “Democrats do not support abortion on demand and believe that the number of abortions should be reduced.” She, too, was cut off and treated with disrespect from other platform committee members.”… p. 18

Please note that the son of Governor Casey is the Democratic Senator Bob Casey Jr. who is no chip off the old block? The CINOP Senator has endorsed last month a full-fledged pro-abortion presidential candidate Barak Obama.
