A little bit of logic and brain power might go a long way in solving the controversy over abortion, Ben Carson says.
“I wish people would just take a step back from all this emotional rhetoric, and just use their brain, and look and see what is in that mother’s womb,” Carson, a renowned brain surgeon, said.
As a doctor, Ben Carson, who is also the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, says it’s hard for him to understand how medical professionals can perform abortions knowing what we do about a baby in the womb.

Through modern ultrasound technology, we know that a child in the womb is “a human being with a head, and a face, with eyes, a nose, and a mouth, and arms, and legs, and fingers, and a heart beating, and it can move, and it can react to the environment,” Carson said on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”
As a doctor, Carson, who is also the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, says it’s hard for him to understand how medical professionals can perform abortions knowing what we do about a baby in the womb.
Abortion is “barbaric,” he said.
Abortions performed in the first trimester often use a thin tube to vacuum the baby out of the womb. This method is also called suction aspiration and “frequently the baby’s trying to move away from [the suction] before it tears off an arm or leg, and you see all the blood and stuff going down a tube,” Carson explained.
For abortions performed in the second trimester, 14 to 26 weeks, and third trimester, 29 to 40 weeks, the physician often uses forceps to reach in and forcibly pull the baby out of the uterus.
“We want to talk about ancient civilizations and how barbaric they are,” Carson said, but “how are we not worse than that? And I think in the future, people will look back on this time and they will just shake their heads and say, ‘How could those people be like that?’”
Carson’s remarks on abortion come about three weeks after a draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked from the Supreme Court, sparking a national conversation over abortion. The draft opinion indicates that the high court is preparing to overturn the landmark 1973 abortion case Roe v. Wade.
The leak has led to a flurry of protests outside the Supreme Court and the homes of the more conservative Justices.

Why don’t they do something about the root cause – the reckless f****g!
Terminating a pregnancy should be so onerous that couples will think twice about doing the dirty deed.
LoL^10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Abortions should be free. Cheaper for the state than unwanted children they can’t afford or parent.
In this day and age, there is simply zero excuse for an unintended pregnancy.
Wrap that rascal. Snug panties. Just say “No!” A solid punch to that horn dog’s throat.
But if you still have one walk into any Starbucks, there will be a free clinic in back.
When you leave you will be sterile, there will be no repeat and certainly no three-peat.
And we will hunt down the dumb SOB that contributed and fix his junk, too!!

Life begins at conception. These people who choose Abortion are plain and simple, murderers and have no remorse over it whatsoever. God is watching.

Reblogged this on whatyareckon and commented:
Too bad we don’t have more like Dr. Ben Carson and perhaps this murder of babies would be history!

Yes whatyareckon, you got it right calling it murder.
Speaking as a Doctor, his explanation was gruesome in the extreme, and perhaps that is what needs to be sheeted home to everyone, exactly what does happen, rather than just referring to it so blandly as a ‘termination!’. I was horrified where Dr. Carson said this:
That is actually the first time I have ever seen anything like that explained.
It made me sick!
I’m willing to bet that nothing like this is ever explained by the ‘staff’ of these Clinics to the ladies having the, umm, procedure. (Huh! Procedure they call it eh. A procedure is maybe having a possible skin cancer cut out.)
