Us presidential candidate carson in call to ban abortion

You're referring to Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election. During his campaign, Carson did express his opposition to abortion and advocated for a ban on the procedure.

In a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in February 2016, Carson stated that he believed that abortion was a "terrible thing" and that it was "not a medical procedure, it's a moral issue." He also called for a constitutional amendment to ban abortion and for the Supreme Court to overturn its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States.

Carson's stance on abortion was consistent with his Christian beliefs and his views on the sanctity of human life. He has also stated that he believes that abortion is a form of "population control" and that it is a "war on the unborn."

It's worth noting that Carson's views on abortion were not universally accepted within the Republican Party during his presidential campaign. Some Republicans, including some who identified as pro-life, criticized Carson's stance on abortion as too extreme or unrealistic.
