I agree that Dr. Ben Carson has a cool, calm demeanor unlike many politicians today and I would go to him for shoulder surgery, but he does not have the experience to be President and think he should just stick to being a good surgeon.
He has the usual conservation views you would expect from someone who represents the Republicans.....nothing shocking there, however, his antiquated views on abortion really gets my dander up.....First of all, when will Government get their collective noses out of women's reproductive issues, etc. I hear people bitching about big Gov't getting involved too much in our lives, but sit still when the politicians start dictating and controlling circumstances under which you should be able to have a pregnancy terminated.
This is never an easy decision for anyone, and it is rarely done because a women or girl hates kids, it happens for a variety of reasons.....Very often, it is the male species who run off and leave the girl/woman alone with a unplanned pregnancy...Men have never IMO taken enough responsibility for birth control....Well, I am getting off track again, so back to Dr. Carson. He says if he is President, even a woman/girl who has been raped or a victim of incest will not be able to terminate her pregnancy.....say what?? Once again, we have a male politician telling one half of the population what they can do with their bodies. That is bull shit.
I did read recently that it is still legal and "on the books" that it is O.K. to have sex with a horse in 23 states, but that pot is only legal (for recreation) in 3 states, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. Who knew? I know we are beating a lot of dead horses but there you are....
