Thank you for the response. I am in no way trying to open a debate on the evils of abortion but rather using it as an example of some of the choices we are faced with politically. There are times when we must support someone who is not 100% ideologically aligned with our individual values because the choices simply aren't there. In those circumstances we make individual choices based on what we think are advancing our cause. I believe that was the point Sen. Bob Casey was trying to make.
Anyone who supported Casey and is surprised by this is a fool.
