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.
Shame on the leftists for their lie about this fine Christian Doctor. May God give Dr Carson the strength he needs during his campaign.
People like trump-et-myself because he is so brass and sounds so aggressive. They are worried and know our nation is weak. If Carson seems weaker than trump, trump will be liked more. I have to remember to believe only quotes in context or interviews. Candidates should be releasing video on youtube every day in response to news and issues.
He dedicated his career to pediatric neurosurgery.
Remember, it was just as evil to have voted against Obama because he was black as it was to vote for him because he was black.

Good Point.. Racial politics is insane..
as well as gender politics.. and gimme politics..
Some people are guilty of all three.
True.... America needs deserves a proctologist not a Brain Surgeon..
If someone else wrote this, who was not likeable like Dr. Carson, people would notice it is not a flat denial of anything, and uses words and phrases that a lawyer would use.
Like it or not, Ben used aborted fetal (baby) tissue in a research he submitted.
Good and hammer them at every chance. Imagine the gall of attacking Carson on this technicality versus the daily toll of murdered babies the Left grinds out gleefully.
Good response.
“He might not have collected the samples, but fetal tissue from abortions was used in the study he helped produce. It is stated clearly in the paper under materials and methods.
“Human choroid plexus, ependyma, and nasal mucosa were obtained from two fetuses aborted at the ninth and 17th week of gestation.”

So what?
People donate their bodies to science and also their aborted tissue. Miscarriages are called spontaneous abortions. Pres. Bush allowed certain fetal tissue to be used for research.
His answers on Facebook and at LifeSitenews.com are well thought out and very reasonable positions to hold.
I’m sure Dr. Carson doesn’t believe in research on fetal tissue for flavor enhancers.
If it comes down to Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders for President then you’ll be voting for Bernie? I hope that you would reconsider making skin deep judgements, and instead choose the conservative over the socialist.
“Most I know wouldn’t vote for another negro..... if Jesus himself came back as one..”
I would never vote for another “LIBERAL SOCIALISTIC AMERICAN HATING” black or white man or woman, but then I didn’t vote for any of them in the first place.
I would vote for Ben Carson in a flash if they run Donald out of the race. Being a Senator for a few years is not much experience for running our Country. Ben Carson and Trump have more life experience than a new Senator. Governors have a little more executive experience, but no foreign experience. I am not going to vote for Huckabee, Christie, or Walker.
Not going to vote for Jeb Bush either. As Governor, he allowed the state of Florida to kill a young woman by dehydrating and staving her to death. He is not pro-life.
Wow...
“Ben Carson and Trump have more life experience than a new Senator.”
And critical thinking skills. And successes.
I can see what he’s saying...it just takes some time to think it through, use your head and use some common sense. Knee jerk reactions will get you the reactions you see on this thread...that Carson is a hypocrite, etc. He’s not.
“Bear this in mind about pathologists,” said Carson. “Regardless of what their ideology is, when they receive tissue, they prepare the tissue. They label it. They mark how it got there. Regardless of whether it’s from a fetus or someone who’s 150 years old, they bank them in tissue blocks. Other people doing comparative research need to have a basis. When pathologists receive specimen, their job is to prepare the specimen. They have no job opining on where the tissue came from.”
The pathologist using that tissue is doing his job, he’s not the one promoting or condoning how he/she got the tissue. Otherwise, that would be like saying, doctors who transplant organs of people who die in a drunk driving car crash, are responsible and condoning drunk driving.
^^sorry, I cut and pasted this from one of my posts on a FB page and forgot to edit out the knee jerk reaction part.
