Thread: S.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn't had an abortion

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.

Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women.


UPDATE -- Carol Fowler releases a statement of apology: "I personally admire and respect the difficult choices that women make everyday, and I apologize to anyone who finds my comment offensive. I clumsily was making a point about people in South Carolina who may vote based on a single issue. Whether it’s the environment, the economy, the war or a woman’s right to choose, there are people who will cast their vote based on a single issue. That was the only point I was attempting to make."

Yeah, and the Republicans are clearly the geniuses around here. :sarcasm:

No honestly... Democrats are known for this type of thing... They make some really stupid comment without thinking... and then an hour or two later they realize how stupid they were and they have to apologize, and make excuses for it.

It's funny in away. It really shows the lack of common sense in the entire party, from someone like you all the way up to the leadership.

it is going to get worse. I see this as heading toward some of the worst mudslinging we have seen in a long time.

I wonder how many abortions that old whore has had?
