Dr. Ben Carson Response To Accusation Of Research On Fetal Tissue
Facebook ^ | 08/13/2015 | Dr. Ben Carson

Posted on 08/13/2015 7:29:51 PM PDT by Roos_Girl

I wanted to use our time tonight to directly deal with an attack launched on me today by the left and the media. A couple questions came in on this subject, so I want to address it head on.

Today I was accused by the press as having done research on fetal tissue. It simply is not true. The study they distributed by an anonymous source was done in 1992. The study was about tumors. I won’t bore you with the science. There were four doctors' names on the study. One was mine. I spent my life studying brain tumors and removing them. My only involvement in this study was supplying tumors that I had removed from my patients. Those tissue samples were compared to other tissue samples under a microscope. Pathologists do this work to gain clues about tumors.

I, nor any of the doctors involved with this study, had anything to do with abortion or what Planned Parenthood has been doing. Research hospitals across the country have microscope slides of all kinds of tissue to compare and contrast. The fetal tissue that was viewed in this study by others was not collected for this study.

I am sickened by the attack that I, after having spent my entire life caring for children, had something to do with aborting a child and harvesting organs. My medical specialty is the human brain and even I am amazed at what it is capable of doing. Please know these attacks are pathetic attempts to blunt our progress.

Excellent response. Out quickly to the point
Next shot ? There is nothing there
Now that he’s come out against PP expect fantasy slime

By the way Ben if you’re reading this Prescott Bush was a founding father of PP ( treasurer). Shared the same philosophy as Margaret

He’d be better suited as surgeon general.

“It’s the Democrats being racist again.”

Picking on him just because he’s black. More black than Obama.

Interesting. He says that in high school he was offered the opportunity to attend West Point because of his ROTC experience, but that he applied only to Yale.

Most I know woulnd’t vote for another negro..... if Jesus himself came back as one..

Sad but true.. Ben Carson is a stand up guy...
Way to early for another brotha in the White House..

Maybe after things are “FIXED” IF they ever are fixed..
then a good conservative no matter the race would be good..
Jindal has the same problem.. good man but nope.. not this time..

Even, If Sowell or Alan West ran I would demur..
UNless they were the ONLY Candidates.... them maybe..
The politically wise ones KNOW it isn’t time for them..

Why do you say that? What mind-blowing qualifications did other Presidents have that Dr. Carson doesn't have?

Like he told CNN, he's studying up and its not that hard. Doesn't take a brain surgeon :-)

Sad that many on our side ran with the smear out of political expediency. Ben Carson is not my choice but he is a great man. Pure class.

He’d be a far better President than any in this century and most of the last.

Good response. It’s factual, en pointe, refuses to be baited into bombastic statements, and makes it very clear what his message is.

This is how politics SHOULD be done, ladies and gentlemen.

Great response by Dr. Carson.

It’s become evident he’s also entering the target zone, as he’s drawing flak.
