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. Also rated by NARAL, Casey sides with pro-life legislation only 1/3 of the time. For 2007, his NARAL ratings was 65%. <ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=34145 Pro-Lifers Question Casey Speaking at Democratic Convention] CNSNews.com, August 14, 2008</ref>

===2008 Democratic Convention===
 
Barack Obama's campaign has held discussions with Bob Casey, Jr. regarding a speech at the convention in late August. "I don't necessarily think there has to be a 'Catholic strategy,' because I'm not sure the Catholic vote is any more monolithic or predictable than any other vote," "The most committed pro-life voter and the most committed pro-choice voter can come together over the issue of how do we help pregnant women," Casey said. <ref>[http://www.catholicsinalliance.org/node/19955  Abortion Surfaces as Democratic Convention Issue] Philadelphia Inquirer, August 8, 2008</ref> For Casey to call a child in the womb "a choice" shows he is out of touch with [[Conservatives]] on this issue. To say he is the most committed pro-life voter is bold face lie, in stark contrast to his Presidential endorsement. Considering Bob Casey, Sr. was unable to speak at the 1992 convention due to his pro-life stance, the 2008 Democratic party jubilantly embraces Bob Casey provided that Casey doesn't interfere with their abortion as-a-right platform.

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.
