CONSERVATIVE TRIBUNE
...Part of the debate regarding access to abortion is whether or not a fetus can feel pain and when it can. During an interview on Friday at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference, Housing and Urban Development Director Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, talked about operating on babies still in the womb and born prematurely.
During the interview, Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, asked Carson when he believed life began.
“That’s a very good question because, with all the technology that we have acquired as human beings, we still don’t have the ability to create life,” Carson said. “God has orchestrated an incredible situation where the egg and sperm come together, and within a matter of ten to 12 weeks, you can see the little fingers and the little toes, the little nose, and the face.”
“The heart has started to beat,” he continued. “It’s absolutely amazing.”
He noted that at a certain point in fetal development, babies were “developing hundreds of thousands of neurons every single day.”
“I’ve had the privilege of being able to operate on very little babies that were 25, 26, 27, 28 weeks gestation,” Carson continued.
“And I can guarantee you they can feel. They can react.”
“You have to give them anesthesia if you’re going to cut them, believe me,” he continued. “But they can also respond to comfort and to warmth.”
“And for somebody to say that’s a meaningless bunch of cells, honestly, is just totally ignorant,” he added.
Carson continued to talk about the gruesome consequences of abortion.
“You have a baby who could live outside of the womb,” he said. “But some people feel that it’s OK to murder that baby.”
