Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday defended his past use of tissue from aborted fetuses for medical research even as he continued to criticize Planned Parenthood.
The retired neurosurgeon said his research, which took place in 1992, does not conflict with his call to defund Planned Parenthood after several undercover videos surfaced that purportedly show officials with the organization working with research companies using tissue from aborted fetuses.
Jen Gunter, an obstetrician-gynecologist, wrote on her blog that Carson had co-authored an academic paper published in Hum Pathol, in which he described working with material "from two fetuses aborted in the ninth and 17th week of gestation."
In her blog post, Gunter sharply criticized the GOP presidential candidate.
"As a neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson knows full well that fetal tissue is essential for medical research," wrote Gunter, author of "The Preemie Primer," a guide for parents of premature babies.
"His discipline would have a hard time being where it is today without that kind of work. What is even more egregious than dismissing the multitude of researchers whose work allowed him to become a neurosurgeon is the hypocrisy of actually having done that research himself while spouting off about its supposed worthlessness."

He just lost any chance he had.
Isn’t this the same bunk that Carson already proved to be a falsehood? He did not work with fetal tissue.
Undoubtedly, black babies, too.
ALL competent DOCTERs operate on CADAVERS.. always have...
be it ADULT ONES or baby ones..
DID I say ALL DOCTERS.. not some docters.. YES I think I did..
BTW; Docters of Sophistry(all kinds) are not REAL docters.. *as a side note
Old news, this was covered weeks ago.
It’s CNN BS.
There are no facts or information at all in this.
Nothing. Deceptive headline paired with innuendo and rhetoric.
And the answer to my question is a resounding YES!

Yes. CNN, but there is the matter of the paper offered up re: research on two fetuses. Is this true or not? Was he a co-author and did the paper involve aborted fetus research? It’s a simple yes or no type answer if you leave out the politics of campaigning.
This is old news. What Rooster hopes to gain by rehashing old news in anyone’s guess.
Nice logos and generally agree. But all I have are the basic yes or no questions I put in post #9.
Do you have the citation?
The truth is that Carson did indeed put his name on this study, which used the cannibalized bodies of murdered babies.
The truth is also that Carson supports the use of the so-called “morning after” pill, which is a chemical weapon of mass destruction designed and intended solely to destroy already-created little kids.
He also supports immoral, unconstitutional legislation that grants permission in the statutes to murder babies, as long as they are killed on schedule and by some set of arbitary man-made rules.
Of course, Donald Trump is no better.
Give me a break. The OP made a claim. Paper, research on two fetuses and Carson mentioned. I asked two or three VERY basic questions I wanted an anser to and you come back to me with a “citation?”....... what ‘citation’ ????
I don’t give a crap about Carson really - I don’t think he’ll go beyond the first two primary states, frankly. I was just wanting clarification.
Thank you. That’s what I wanted. I seem to remember something about Fox Mulder and whatshername (Scully the Brit woman).....”the truth is out there.”
It won't bother me if you ask the mods to pull the thread.
Thanks. Good explanation. No need for me to ask the mods.
Appreciate your response.
You don’t understand my question.
What is the article? Provide the reference.
No way anyone should allow MSM to filter information
Provide the citation for the publication in question.
nuthin but rettrick and vitrioil.
