Protesters turn their backs on moderator, Nat Hentoff and Pennsylvania Gov. Robert Casey, Cooper Union, New York City, October 2, 1992. In October of 1992, after being denied a platform at the Democratic National Convention, the question Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Robert Casey was to address that night at Cooper Union, “Can a liberal be pro-life?” . In the Great Hall, where Abraham Lincoln once spoke, activists from ACT UP, WHAM! and Students for Choice would shout Casey down. He left the building without delivering his speech.
