→Criticisms: added Casey vote to lift Mexico City policy
Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, questioned Casey being a speaker at the Democratic convention.

Casey voted for lifting the ban on family planning funding called the Mexico City policy. The policy lifted expands abortions out of the country, with taxpayer-funded money. Casey defends his vote, says it is not about abortion. In Casey's Catholic diocese, Bishop Martino wrote, “The Mexico City Policy is, first and foremost, about abortion, not about family planning.” In addition, the senator was persisting in "formally cooperating with the evil" caused by the policy. <ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/public/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=44350 Pennyslvania Bishop Warns Sen.
