WASHINGTON -- A socially conservative Iowa group apologized Saturday evening for a controversial reference to slavery in a "marriage vow" signed by presidential candidates Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Rick Santorum, Politico reported.
The marriage vow, which was created by the Pleasant Hill, Iowa-based group The Family Leader, calls on signers to swear fidelity to his or her spouse and also oppose "any redefinition" of marriage, including same-sex marriages.
The original vow also included a controversial passage in its preamble suggesting that black children born into slavery had a more stable family life than African-American children today.
