Gov. Casey was an exceptional, authentic human being. He didn't do things that were politically expedient, because if he did, he would have kept silent on the abortion issue. His faith, his value set, and his view of the world compelled him to be the voice for the voiceless, and I consider him heroic. It is no coincidence that he is the "Casey" in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which attempted to roll back the draconian mandate of Roe. v. Wade. His name is, for me, a truly honorable one.
