Ben Carson will survive...
I thought it was illegal....?
I don’t know Dr. Carson’s thoughts on abortion that many years ago, but I know this.
Some of the most effective, serious, and passionate pro-lifers were once okay with - and even fans of - abortion. They are often our most potent weapons.
There was a never a bigger flip-flopper on abortion in HISTORY than Dr. Bernard Nathanson.
I really like Carson.
Carson on Planned Parenthood.

The research is not described in detail, but as I understand it the fetus had died of natural causes. To me this is the difference between doing an autopsy to partake in research and cutting a person up while the person is alive an calling it research.
A lot of people who have become solidly pro-life have done so because of their encounters with the reality of unborn baby harvesting firsthand. As this was 1992 and not 2012, it’s probably not going to stick as a charge of hypocrisy.
Did he, or didn’t he use fetal tissue from aborted babies?
This article is doing exactly what buzzfeed wants it to do, distracting from the fact that PP is selling fetal body parts for profit. That is illegal on its face and that is what we should keep pounding them with.
Abortion is the emotional issue that, while horrific in its own right, moves the focus from this clear violation of law and turns it into a pro/anti abortion fight.
Selling body parts for profit is illegal no matter where you get the parts. People can donate their organs before or after death for transplant or research, but those donated organs cannot be sold for profit, and certainly not without the consent of the donor.
From what I have read, it is legal for aborted fetuses to be donated for scientific research, and legal for those providing the tissue to be reimbursed for costs of storage and transportation. It may be debated whether this is a good policy, but that would be another distraction from PP’s illegal activities, as it is disgustingly clear that PP was not simply discussing reimbursement for costs of providing tissue, but blatantly selling parts for the best price they could get.
Abortion is a plague on our nation and must be stopped, but these actions of PP are illegal regardless of where they got the tissue, and allowing PP and its supporters to try to make this an abortion issue will only distract from what can destroy them. Trafficking in fetal tissue is illegal. Period.

They’re nuts, but Carson’s no conservative. He’ll have a tough time winning VP slot.
They lie.
Ben Carson says “the left and the media” lied again:

Honestly, I thought he was referring to tumor cells?
How many medical students have dissected infants, at many stages of development?
