[Dianne Dawson]

Dem Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler has 
embarrassed our state from coast-to-coast. She has disgraced the party and 
should resign. Even some Democrats are appalled. Fowler's reported 
"apology" is anything but an apology. Read more. 
 
 Democrat Fowler Apologizes for Sarah 
Palin Abortion Only Qualification Remark
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The woman who is the 
head of the Democratic Party in South Carolina has apologized for saying the 
only qualification vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has is she didn't 
have an abortion. The comment from Carol Fowler, whose husband previously ran 
the national party, caused controversy yesterday. As LifeNews.com reported Wednesday, Fowler 
said McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be 
that she hasn't had an abortion." Earlier this year, Palin and her husband 
decided to keep their disabled 
baby Trig, who has Down syndrome, even though 90 percent of babies with the 
condition become victims of abortion. Late Wednesday, after condemnations of the 
attack came in from across the country, Fowler apologized. "I personally admire 
and respect the difficult choices that women make everyday, and I apologize to 
anyone who finds my comment offensive," Fowler said in a statement, according to 
AP. "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," she continued. "That was the only point I was attempting to make." Full story at

Fowler apologizes for abortion remark
South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler, facing criticism for her 
remark to Politico's Alex Burns about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, issues an 
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."
Update: Also tonight, Rep. John Spratt (D-S.C.) put out a 
statement to say: "I cannot believe that Carol Fowler made such a statement, and 
I want to make it clear that she speaks for herself, and not for me or the 
Democratic Party."
More Spratt: "Her statement about Governor Palin is outrageous and wrong, 
because Sarah Palin's qualifications are quite evident."
