RESEARCH ON ABORTED FETUSES IN 
THE EARLY '90s.
YOU KNOW BEN CARSON IS A 
NEUROSURGEON AND HE'S NOW BEING 
CALLED A HYPOCRITE BY AN OB/GYN.
HE CO-AUTHORED THE TYPES OF 
RESEARCH HE SAYS AREN'T 
NECESSARY.
>> VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THAT CAN
BE ATTRIBUTED TO PROGRESS BY 
USING FETAL TISSUE CAN ALSO USE 
OTHER TYPES OF TISSUE.
SO I'M -- IF IT WERE THE ONLY 
WAY TO DO SOMETHING AND THERE 
WAS NO OTHER WAY, THAT MIGHT BE 
AN ARGUMENT BUT UNDER THESE 
CIRCUMSTANCES IT REALLY IS NOT 
LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT.
>> SO THIS WAS BEN CARSON LAST 
MONTH ON CNN'S "THE LEAD" WITH 
JAKE TAPPER.
LAST MONTH WITH JAKE TAPPER.
NOW DR. CARSON SAYS THIS TO "THE
WASHINGTON POST" AND I'LL JUST 
QUOTE HIM DIRECTLY AS THE PAPER 
SAYS.
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE INTENT.
TO WILLFULLY IGNORE EVIDENCE 
THAT YOU HAVE FOR SOME 
IDEOLOGICAL REASON IS WRONG.
IF YOU'RE WILLING BABIES AND 
TAKING THE TISSUE, THAT'S A VERY
DIFFERENT THING THAN TAKING A 
DEAD SPECIMEN AND KEEPING A 
RECORD OF IT.
CARSON IS AMONG MANY REPUBLICANS
CALLING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD 
TO LOSE ITS FEDERAL FUNDING.
BUT HE TOLD "THE POST" HE 
DOESN'T BELIEVE FETAL TISSUE 
RESEARCH IS WRONG OR SHOULD BE 
BANNED.
HE IS IN SECOND PLACE IN THE NEW
CNN POLL.
TAKE A LOOK.
DONALD TRUMP STILL OUT AHEAD AT 
22%.
BEN CARSON RIGHT BEHIND HIM AT 
14%.
