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.

“Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said.

Told of McCain's boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: "Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway."

1. Well, we don't actually know she's never had an abortion.

All we know is that she didn't abort Trig.

This is another thing that pisses me off. I would not have aborted Trig either, and do you know why? Not because I am pro-life, but because I am anti-eugenics. It really scares me the way people just assume that if Palin's ideology allowed her to accept abortion, then naturally she would have had one once she knew the baby had Down's. Many people do choose to continue the pregnancy after getting that knowledge, and it's not always just about abortion.

C ya,

6. this msg needs to be spread wide and clear

Palin's primary qualification is that she didn't abort Trig. We need to stop treating this election as if this woman is otherwise qualified. she is not.
