Ben Carson thinks women are stupid...

Because they don't want men dictating to them.

Fox News' Ben Carson Wants to 'Re-educate the Women' Because 'They Get All Riled Up' Over Abortion

Newly hired Fox News contributor Dr. Ben Carson proposed on Friday to "re-educate the women" so that they would stop having abortions.

Speaking to a group of overwhelmingly Christian attendees at the Values Voter Summit, the retired neurosurgeon said that your health "is the most valuable thing that you have."

"And that's the reason that your health should be controlled by you and not be the government," he explained. "But when we're talking about things that are important, life is important. And that includes the life of the unborn."

"You know, there are those of us in this society who have told women that there's a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it and there are people that are keeping you from doing that," Carson continued. "And women say, 'No, no, they're not doing that to me! No!' And they get all riled up."

He added there was obviously not a "war on women" because men give up their seats to pregnant women.

"There is no war on them, the war is on their babies," Carson insisted. "Babies that cannot defend themselves. Over the past few decades, we have destroyed 55 million of them. And we have the nerve to call other societies of the past heathen."

Probably fewer than half the time did someone give up a seat for me. It was annoying, and I never saw it as war on women, but that the young people on the bus hadn't been told they ought to do that. A couple of times I simply asked a young man if I could please have his seat, and I was never refused.

9. I gues he sees giving up his seat to a pregnant woman

as a sign of deference to someone with the mind of a child instead of consideration for someone's condition?

If a woman does not control her reproduction and her own body, she has no freedom, she is owned.

Religion overrides smart. This guy may have made it through medical school but so did a FORMER Governor of Kentucky whose wife made a big show of taking their grand kids to the Creation Museum. That crooked fool made it through medical school as well.

They think women should be barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen, and subject to the whims of their husbands, even abusive ones who try to kill them.
