Carson: 'Abortion pill' should be available in cases of rape or incest

Women who get pregnant from rape or incest should be able to go to the emergency room for an "abortion pill," Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Thursday.

Speaking on Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” the anchor asked Carson if he believes women should be able to get abortions in cases of rape or incest.

Carson’s response provoked Cavuto to ask him whether he believes life begins at conception.

“Certainly once the heart starts beating, certainly at that point,” Carson responded.

1. Should be a no-brainer

2. More attention needs to be paid to the conservative African American strategy

While I was at a medical appt. yesterday, I read an magazine article about a Koch gathering that including important African American coalition members. I did a double-take. WTH?

The Koch brothers donate a lot of money to the United Negro College Fund.

Perhaps their Horatio Alger message of "anyone who is taught skills and values" will succeed in a world with "no government regulation" (that benefits the Kochs) but of course proper moral guidance and authority (I can only imagine what they donate to support major religious networks and preaching), has a lot more legs than the Democratic message of addressing material and legal inequities.

His occupation automatically disqualifies him from being their nominee.
