U.S. Presidential candidate Ben Carson said that abortion to save a mother's life is "spurious."
Carson commented on Hilary Clinton's statement on the Republican candidates for saying "outrageous" comments regarding women's health.
According to lifesitenews.com, Carson explained why he opposes abortion contrary to Hilary Clinton's support of it if the pregnancy is caused by rape or incest.
Carson said, "I spent my entire career as a pediatric neurosurgeon, frequently staying up all night, fighting, struggling to save the lives of little babies, even operating on babies inside the womb. So, I don't think it should be hard for anybody to understand that I am totally opposed to killing babies. When it comes to the case of the life of the mother, you have to look at the individual situation. Recognize that that is largely a spurious argument, because we have advanced so much in medicine these days that that situation rarely occurs."
According to cbsnews.com, Carson is starting to become popular among the voters as he was one of the most- Googled candidates. He said that he owes his success to "ordinary people who have gotten involved" and donated.
He once said that "I refuse to go after billionaires and special interest groups. The only people I want to be beholden to are the American people. And that word is getting around by word-of-mouth. People are talking to people in their spheres of influence, and I think it's terrific. I think that's the way it was supposed to be."
Though lacking experience when it comes to politics and its system, Carson is positive that it won't be a problem for him. He said in an interview that "the political class has weaved an imaginary tale that they're the only ones who can solve our problems, but the fact of the matter is if you take the collective political experience of everyone in Congress, which is just under 9,000 years, you'll see that it really has not solved our problems. What we really need are problem solvers, people with a history of solving complex problems, people who know how to utilize other individuals working with them to solve complex problems, because nobody knows everything. But wisdom is much more important than political experience."
