"Carson told the Baltimore Sun in 1992, “As a physician who does not believe in abortion, when faced with a patient who has severe medical problems, I would refer someone for an abortion.""
Dr. Ben Carson’s campaign admits he referred women to abortionists
[all subsequent quotes from above, and bracketed text is me not the quotes]
[He doesn't believe in abortion yet recommends abortions in certain instances? Isn't that kinda like telling the Nazis where Anne Frank and family are hiding, but not actually murdering them yourself?]
...
"Carson made the statement the same year he participated in a study that examined tissues derived from two aborted children. While Carson played no role in harvesting or handling the tissue, he strongly defends medical experimentation with aborted babies, calling opposition to the practice "foolish." Rick Santorum has said he would never engage in medical research that was "morally suspect."
Recent misstatements also called into question whether he believes life begins at conception.
On August 12, Fox News host Neil Cavuto asked Carson, “At the point of conception - do you see that as life, Doctor?”
“Certainly once the heart starts beating - certainly at that point," Carson replied.
While he has said he opposes abortion without exceptions, he told Cavuto, "in cases of rape and incest, I would hope that [mothers] would very quickly avail themselves of emergency room and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer, you know, RU-486, other possibilities, before you have a developing fetus."
Carson later said that he misspoke.
"I think when conception occurs, life occurs," he told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. He also told ABC's This Week program, "I believe that life begins at conception.""
[So, life begins with heartbeats, no no, I mean at conception.]
"He said that his remarks to Cavuto meant to imply that both sides of the abortion debate would be able to agree that life begins when a fetal heartbeat can be detected - usually within the first six weeks of pregnancy.
When asked about "RU-486," he responded, "I think when conception occurs, life occurs. But I do believe in contraception."
"The egg is only fertilizable at certain times - and there are certain types of drugs, progestins, that can prevent ovulation...if ovulation doesn’t occur, you’re not going to have conception."
The Carson campaign later said Carson meant to speak of "emergency contraception," not the RU-486 abortion pill."
[So, here's a doctor, a supposedly skilled neurosurgeon who can't keep Plan B and RU-486 straight in his head? Guess I understand now why he's a 'retired brain surgeon.' But he wants to be President because that's so much easier? He going to be able to keep all the Muslim factions straight in his head, or will he try ordering US military to bomb Syria because of their involvement with 9/11?
Maybe he should just stay retired?]
