thewayne"I'm a reasonable person. And if people can come up with a reasonable explanation of why they would like to kill a baby, I'll listen."
—Dr. Ben Carson
Carson knows that a "baby", to use his words, at one month old will not survive outside the womb. It does not have a brain or identity. Yet it can be detected that it may represent a mortal threat to the mother's health, or that it won't be viable. But apparently that doesn't register on his radar.
The thing that I love about pro-lifers is their attitudes on other things. For example, Carson's "Everybody attack the gunman!" statement, followed by "I think you want the person behind the counter" when a gun was shoved in his ribs at a Popeye's. It's also common for pro-life politicians to support the death penalty, and also eliminate any support for baby-carriers after they deliver.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
