Catholic Senator Says Pro-Abortion Obama's Okay With HimCapitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Robert Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.) does not think his endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) translates into a pro-abortion vote in the presidential election, even though Obama supports abortion across-the-board, including late-term partial-birth abortion."Some might characterize it that way, but I don't think it is" a pro-abortion vote, Casey told Cybercast News Service. "I have a long (pro-life) record, and it's a lot harder for me. It's much easier to be a Republican and have that position."Casey recently endorsed Obama, despite the Democratic presidential hopeful's support of abortion and his opposition to legislation in the Illinois state Senate that would have protected babies who survived late-term abortions."We have a definitive and certain disagreement on abortion," Casey said. "I'm pro-life. (Obama) is pro-choice. I have supported legislation to outlaw partial-birth abortion. He doesn't agree with that."When asked how his support of Obama fits with his Roman Catholic faith, Casey said other issues confronting the country make the Illinois senator best suited for the White House.
