Scoop: Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) supports reforming the filibuster to pass abortion protections. "He believes the rule should be changed for a number of issues and this is one of them," his spox tells me. Casey long held anti-abortion beliefs, but recently shifted to support access.

(16,928 posts)1. Senator Casey is one federal official.....
who is able to keep his RELIGIOUS beliefs separate from his elected responsibilities. The way things are going, we're probably gonna' have to designate him as an "endangered species" - oh, wait, the Supreme Junta will shut that down too.....

Bobby Casey (I grew up with his older sister) is an anti-abortion Catholic Democrat (as was his father and my parents). His private beliefs are not affecting his public policy - as with President Biden, who grew up years earlier in the same Scranton neighborhood.
