→‎Political views: added NARAL rating
Line 10: Line 10:  
Bob Casey is generally known to be a [[conservative Democrat]]. Unlike his father, he isn't strongly [[pro-life]]. Casey's election gives Pennsylvania the distinction of being represented in the Senate by a self-proclaimed conservative Democrat and [[Arlen Specter]], a liberal Republican; each holds the position opposite to what is common for their respective national parties. Casey agrees with liberals on immigration. He supports the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), a bill voted down in the [[110th United States Congress]]. This bill would have provided a path to legal citizenship for [[illegal alien]]s currently residing in the [[United States]]".

During the 2008 Democrat Presidential primaries in Pennsylvania, Bob Casey Jr. gave his super delegate and backing to Barack Obama. [[Conservatives]] of both parties began to wonder about his true conservative principles due to his support of abortion candidates. By selecting Obama, he is pocketing his pro-life views in favor of the 100% [[NARAL]] rated Obama. He supports a candidate that feels [[partial birth abortion]] is not a travesty but a right to protect.
