Chuck Todd recently interviewed Dr. Ben Carson. When the discussion turned to abortion, Carson predictably compared it to slavery, then did his best to outflank the GOP primary field from the right (not easy). Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“He told an NBC News interviewer on Sunday that he’s a “reasonable person”, however, and he’d listen if someone can come up with a “reasonable explanation for why they would like to kill a baby”. Women, however, should not look at their foetus as “the enemy”…

“I know that’s one of those words you’re not supposed to say, but I’m saying it,” Mr Carson began. “During slavery, a lot of slave-owners thought they had the right to do whatever they wanted to that slave, anything that they chose. And what if the abolitionists had said, ‘I don’t believe in slavery, but you guys do whatever you want’? Where would we be?”

Mr Carson has made a habit of saying what he’s “not supposed to say” and then deriding the subsequent firestorm as attacks from “politically correct” critics.”*
