Stunning ignorance by the good doctor once again. He can't let go of the slavery reference using it here and before as a reference to Obamacare and gives no quarter to those damaged by rape and incest after referring women to doctors who perform abortions and as a trustee of a foundation that donated thousand to Planned Parenthood. I hope someone can refer him to a good brain surgeon, he obviously needs one.
Dr. Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon-turned-insurgent presidential contender, compared abortion to slavery on Sunday, adding that he does not support exceptions for rape and incest when it comes to outlawing the practice.
"Think about this," he told "Meet the Press." "During slavery -- and I know that's one of those words you're not supposed to say, but I'm saying it -- during slavery, a lot of the slave owners thought that they had the right to do whatever they wanted to that slave. Anything that they chose to do. And, you know, what if the abolitionist had said, you know, 'I don't believe in slavery. I think it's wrong. But you guys do whatever you want to do'? Where would we be?"
Rising in the polls in Iowa -- with its deeply evangelical Republican caucus goers -- Carson called for overturning the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision and only conceded that "there's room to discuss" an exception if the health of the mother was at stake. Below is the relevant transcript, pasted in full because his answers were often hard to tease out. . .
Ben Carson Once Again Compares Something To Slavery, This Time Abortion
Racist much?
I called Ben Carson nuttier than a fruitcake. I don't think that is a racist statement, you do. Perhaps you can enlighten me how you came to that conclusion.
Well.. I mean he is black, and we're only using far left logic here which goes as such
"If you attack a black person on the issues, you're racist."
It looks more to me that you and Grampa have invented your own brand of logic to deflect the issue.
Looks like to me you're looking for all the dirt you can possibly dig up on Carson, even though people have been doing the same thing to Trump for months now and are failing miserably.
Anyhow, I agree with Carson. Unborn children are treated like chattel. Slaves robbed of their humanity, bought and sold on the trading block. I don't agree with the idea that abortion should be completely outlawed.
I know, I know, what about the 12 year old girl who got pregnant? Should she have to live with that kind of trauma for the rest of her life? Well, I wonder what kind of trauma would come of killing the unborn child inside of her? How about not exposing her to either of those circumstances?
There are plenty of exceptions to the rule; but this one isn't:
A perfectly healthy woman who has conceived a child through the process of consensual sexual intercourse with another man.
Provided
A) Her health isn't compromised at any time before childbirth,
B) She's over 18,
C) Hasn't been raped or,
D) Did not willingly agree to or engage in the act of incest
She should be made to carry the child to term. Abortion in these circumstances should be illegal.
I think that covers all the bases.
