Casey: no to Stupak

Timothy McNulty | November 12, 2009

We're late to this, but for the record -- Bob Casey, the lead anti-abortion voice among Senate Dems, says there is no room for Stupak-type amendment in a Senate health care bill. From Politico:

Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), the Democrat most closely identified in the Senate as antiabortion, doesn't believe the health care reform bill should place new restrictions on the procedure, his spokesman said Monday.

"Senator Casey thinks that health care reform should not be used to change longstanding policies regarding federal financing of abortion which has been in place since 1976," spokesman Larry Smar said. "He voted for amendments in the HELP Committee that would maintain neutrality on abortion. Until Senate bill language is released it is premature to discuss next steps."
