Carol Fowler's Comments on Sarah Palin are Unforgivable

Allow me to quote Fowler, the South Carolina Democratic Chairwoman. Fowler said McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

As a woman, if you are not offended to the core by that then you a need a lobotomy. I hate politics. Hate it. But when I read things like this it makes me makes me so freaking mad, that I can't contain myself. It makes me wonder if the hatemongering that goes on between us as American women isn't far worse than what the rest of the world throws at us.

And before everyone starts attacking me, you should know that I am pro Choice. While abortion is not something I would personally choose, I don't think anyone should tell us (as women) what we can and can't do to our bodies.

Fowler, you are a sickening creature. How dare you imply that a woman who just gave birth to a special needs child made a bad choice by not terminating the pregnancy. Moreover, how dare you suggest there is something morally wrong with a woman who would rather have a child with a disability rather than take the easy out and ending it's life. To me, that sounds like someone who's selfless and giving – qualities that I would want in a leader.

So forgive me, but I'm not seeing the merit in your argument. Unless you are trying to say that conversely the only requirement for making Hilary (or yourself, for that matter) a democratic vice presidential candidate would be that you HAVE had an abortion. Which wouldn't be that surprising, now would it?

Carol Fowler, I believe in the right to choose, but I also believe that the best part of you ran down your daddy's leg.
