REBECCA KAPLAN August 11, 2015 Ben Carson Responds To Hillary Clinton On Abortion
Neurosurgeon and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson clarified his stance on abortion Tuesday in the wake of an attack from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who criticized the entire GOP field for being offensive to women.
"I spent my entire career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, frequently staying up all night, fighting, struggling to save the life of little babies, even operating on babies inside the womb. So I don't think it should be hard for anyone to understand that I am totally opposed to killing babies," Carson said on "CBS This Morning."
When host Norah O'Donnell asked whether he opposed all abortions -- even one that might be necessary to save the life of the mother -- Carson said, "You have to look at the individual situation."
"That's largely a spurious argument because we have advanced so much in medicine these days that that situation rarely occurs," he said.
As for his own relationship with women, Carson said his mother was responsible for his success and praised his "wonderful" wife. He also said, "In my medical career I had terrific female physician assistants and administrative people who I could not have succeeded without."
Carson has been gaining ground since the debate, during which he was one of the most-Googled candidates. He credits the relative success of his presidential campaign so far to the "ordinary people who have gotten involved" and donated.
"I refuse to go after billionaires and special interest groups. The only people I want to be beholden to are the American people. And that word is getting around by word-of-mouth.

Love this remarkable man!
Worth repeating.
They won’t be able to pull an Akin or Mourdock on this guy.
So do I, but not as president. Isn’t it odd, or has any of the black community ever questioned why, other than Obama (who is only half-black) the DEMS don’t run black candidates? We had Herman Cain in 2012, and now Dr. Carson, who have both achieved great success in their lives without kowtowing to the liberal plantation.
So Hillary is offensive to Children. Ot in other words, Children’s greatest enemy in the USA is Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton has no moral authority, no righteous standing, none whatsoever, to criticize anybody on anything.
Tried to get a copy of his biography, in Mexico City, in Spanish and they were sold out. He is LOVED. He can do the job, we;ll all help him.
If Hillary’s granddaughter had needed a brain shunt before birth, she would not have considered a DR with Carson’s beliefs to be a threat to women. In fact a PP referral might have urged aborting an imperfect child
Our new Head of Health and Human Services!!
Carson, 100% prolife, has been married to the SAME woman for 40 years, his college sweetheart, and they have three sons.
He’d also become our FIRST black president if he was elected.
We are Jindal supporters, but would vote for either Santorum or Huckabee too, but we’d also vote for Carson as well. With this many good [as in godly, prolife, profamily, chivalrous] men running, why are people trumpeting Trump, a thrice married cocky man who doesn’t even back the baby conceived from violence?
So Hillary is offensive to Children.
Hillary is offensive to my Peek-a-Poo, and my Goldfish.
If she is elected I wont have any money to buy doggie treats, and fishy treats.
They really hate her! :)
I would need to see a list of who Hillary isn’t offensive to. LOL
Children's greatest enemy in the USA is their mothers. After that, Satan.
Without them, Hillary wouldn't amount to a hill of beans.

Bears repeating again. Destroying the premise of the question is the single best response he can have. Well done, Dr. Carson.
Somebody go out on a limb here and tell me: What are the chances Carson could be the GOP VP nominee? Better than 50/50, less than 50/50..........???

When the press is unfair to him, why isn’t it racist? Yes, we all know the answer.
Why is that?
Because he is not a lawyer?
Because he is not a politician?
Because he has not sucked the Government tit for 20 years?
Because he owes no favors?
Because he is not a billion dollar businessman?
Because he is not a woman?
Because he is not GOP-e?
Because he is a man of faith?
Because he is not experienced?
I think he would make a stellar president.
Bump.
When will the MSM be covering the Democrats war on children?
