Straight Talk From Dr. Ben Carson on the War Against Babies

by Calvin Freiburger

 Last February, the prestigious neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson captured millions of Americans’ attention with a stirring National Prayer Breakfast speech. Once known for a career full of medical breakthroughs and philanthropic work, he entered the political arena by speaking thoughtfully and intuitively on America’s economic and cultural challenges – with an uncomfortable President Obama sitting just a few feet away.

Dr. Carson’s been opining about politics ever since, including abortion. Most recently, he said the following during a Friday speech at the annual Values Voter Summit:

But when we’re talking about things that are important, life is important. And that includes the life of the unborn. You know, there are those of us in this society who’ve told women that there’s a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it, and there are people who are keeping you from doing that. And when women say, “no, no, they’re not doing that to me! No!” And they get all riled up and think that somebody’s depriving them.

Let me tell you something: there’s no war on women. You think about it, when a woman is pregnant, what happens? People get up, they give her their seat, they get out of the way, they say, “you can go first.” There is great respect and love for pregnant women. There isn’t a war on them. The war is on their babies! That’s where the war is. Babies that cannot defend themselves.

Over the past few decades, we have destroyed fifty-five million of them. And we have the nerve to call other societies of the past “heathen.” Think about that. And what we need to do is re-educate the women to understand that they are the defenders of these babies, not to destroy these babies.
