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.

Donald, then Ben. These hit pieces are so disgusting. They are having the opposite effect.

The fact Obama is a complete and total disaster has everything to do with his anti-American, 3rd-world ideology and nothing to do with his race.

Race is not the reason Obama’s presidency is a major fail. It’s his ideology.

The Left is truly evil. Their religion is political power.

He also says that during his pre-med years he wanted to be a psychiatrist.

In medical school, he met some psychiatrists.

He quickly changed is interest to neuro-surgery!

I heard him on Fox and he waxed scientific suddenly, and then I realized just how brilliant a man he is. Sometimes you don’t truly appreciate what great intelligence is until you hear it.

Nah, the problem with Obama is that he was the 'first', so it was a novelty thing with most blacks, and liberal whites who saw him as a way to push their agenda. They knew he believed as they do, and also knew that the current crop of weenie Republicans would never go full bore against Obama, because they would be cowed by the media, which has been the Democrat lapdog for years. Only a few brave Repubs have stood against Obama. Don't hang the Obama label on all black people. We knew what Obama was before he went to the White House. We also know what fine gentlemen like Dr. Ben Carson would likely do, and it won't look anything like what Obama has done.

If it was Prescotts camp I hope he exposes the relationship to PP
OTOH his comments about educating people about the subject and encouragement to read up on the origin, will allow each to discover the information for themselves. After all Prescott Bush isn’t a common name and is tied to the family like butter to toast

Apples and Oranges, IMHO. The statement implies a comparison between obama and Dr Carson. There is no comparison, right out of the gate, Carson is everything Hussein wishes he could be.

As for the Oval Office, that remains to be seen. But people are definitely talking about him..

His ideology is based in large part on race grievance and hate whitey. He has surrounded himself with racists his entire life.

With Obama it is also race because he often displays his ill-concealed racism.

His inexperience would not have been so injurious if in the the absence of experience he had not inserted a lust to cut America down to size and a bias in favor of Islam.

The rest of his agenda: to pack the Dem voting bloc with illegals, weaken the US military in arms and leadership, redistribute wealth (except of fat cat libs such as he and Moochelle), force an ill-conceived and poorly executed socialized medicine scheme upon a duped public, repeatedly circumvent the constitution and congress, and give away the store in a bad deal with Iran in a desperate bid for legacy, round out his pillaging of America. The foregoing notwithstanding, he still should not be held as the an example of what a black conservative would do as POTUS.

Dr. Ben Carson was the first Dr. ever to successfully operate on a fetus “In the womb.”

...and, while I'm at it, just because it's fun.

RESENTMENT. WHEN YOU'RE COMPLETELY, HOPELESSLY OUTCLASSED.

Honestly, If someone—anyone—casts a vote based on skin color alone they have no business voting. That goes for both sides.

I am not sure he is ready to be President but he is a good, decent man who would bring a moral foundation and some brains to the office.

We could do a lot worse.
