SC Demo Chair's Abortion Remark Stuns Many

From Fox News ~ 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.

Late this afternoon, Fowler apologized "to those" who "might have been offended" by her remark.

[Fowler is the wife of former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler, who apologized earlier in the campaign for a remark he made. She was a superdelegate who endorsed Obama.]
