In his first 100 days in office, Carson said Friday he would support the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) a bill that would prohibit the federal government from taking any discriminatory action against a person who acts in accordance with a religious opposition to same-sex marriage or premarital sex. FADA defines person very broadly to include for-profit organizations, and discriminatory action as the revocation of tax-exempt status or the termination of federal contracts.
He also said lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court needed to be reexamined. Asked how he would select Supreme Court justices, Carson quoted Scripture: By their fruits, you will know them.
Later, the event moderators played one of several sting videos edited to show Planned Parenthood executives casually discussing the process of donating fetal tissue for medical research. (David Daleiden, who made and released the videos, was recently indicted by a Texas grand jury on felony charges.) After viewing the video, Carson called it disgusting.
How can God bless a society that has no regard for human life and that is selling body parts? I mean, it is unbelievable, he said. Its unbelievable.
