Pro-Life leaders are furious with presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson for his comments yesterday that pro-life rhetoric is partially responsible for the shootings that took place in Colorado last week.
On CBSâs Face the Nation Sunday morning, Carson said, âHateful rhetoric exacerbates the situationâ¦You donât ever solve them [problems] with hateful rhetoric. Both sides should tone down the rhetoric and engage in civil discussion.â
On ABCâs This Week Carson said, âThereâs a lot of extremism coming from all areas. We get into our separate corners and we hate each other, we want to destroy those with whom we disagree.â
In exclusive interviews with Breitbart News, a number of national pro-life leaders condemned Carsonâs statements.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and a board member at the Center for Medical Progress, said, âDoctor Carson just ended his presidential candidacy.â

I've been saying that for weeks after learning about Carson hawking those magic, cancer-curing vitamins.
I caught a little bit of Fox News yesterday covering the Pope's visit to Africa.
Part of the report was about the high security necessary for his safety amid "Christian and Muslim" violence....I realized once again why I don't watch Fox anymore.
Carson has always been a time bomb. The only people who have supported him are deluded white people searching for that safe kindly Uncle Remus with Presidential potential. ( Yeah. I know. There are people that stupid. )
Wow. I am not interested in attacking Dr. Carson, but he has attacked me, and some of the greatest people in the world. He really, really doesn’t understand what is going on.
I never thought Carson was presidential material for a variety of reasons, but he’s also turning into a major disappointment on a personal level. Very sad.
It seems to me Carson supporters are still suffering from white guilt and we all know that leads to disaster... Get Over It Folks!
We don’t need another obama, we do need one the likes of LTC West, one we could trust on the content of his character but he is not running, Carson’s character is erratic and pathological with all the evidence can anyone believe as he claims he grew out of it.
That oughtta do it for Dr. Carson: “I’m pro-life, but not THAT pro-life.” Apparently, he doesn’t see the irony in PP condemning murder...
I truly hope Christians that have supported Ben Carson for the nomination will reflect on this and pray about it. He is not the warrior we need in the cultural war to restore the soul of America.
Any word from the “circle the wagons” conservative bloggers?
Still want to protect Benny?
That’s actually the position of the Left and, apparently, Dr. Carson.
Uncle Ben's Rice will never be the same. He let the pan burn on the stove.
Bye, bye, Gentle Ben.
the black jeb speaks again. the gope rove applauds.
Does Ben really not get how politicized everything is?
watch his pole numbers do a Carson and fall to 1%
Did the abolitionist simply “disagree” with slavery, or was he simply adamant about abolishing it? Did the abolitionist seek a “middle ground” with slavery proponents? Dr. Carson would make a better anesthesiologist the way he puts me to sleep.
I’d like to hear somebody explain how a guy who has lived the past year in a shack without electricity, stayed by himself in the cafe he goes to, and has never spoken about abortion with anybody... has even HEARD all this supposedly hateful rhetoric.
Too bad for Ben. Had a lot of people fooled. Who gets his supporters now?
My mother has had our entire family involved in the pro life movement since before Roe v. Wade.
I have never.....EVER......during all of those years, heard ANYONE in authority with ANY of those pro life groups advocate violence against doctors, clinics, or anyone else.
No one know why that shooting took place yet, but the evidence says it was a bank robbery and the shooter didn’t attack PP. Carson is feeble minded and spineless enough to jump on the bandwagon. NOT presidential material.
