Item Description
Casey considered abortion a primary issue for the 1992 election. He tried to get a speaking slot to present the minority view on the topic at the convention but was denied. In news conferences he said the party was censoring his pro-life views even though he agreed with the party on most other issues. During the convention, Karen Ritter a pro-choice Pennsylvania legislator sold these buttons picturing Casey as Pope. The 3" button is Mint and was a quite limited issue.
