Ben Carson on whether he would kill Baby Hitler:

Earlier this week, GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush answered a question posed by the New York Times Magazine in a reader poll: "If you could go back and kill Hitler as a baby, would you do it?" Bush gave an affirmative: "Hell yeah, I would!"

When Ben Carson was posed a variation of the question -- "Would you be in favor of aborting baby Hitler?" -- he declared that he would not support that.

"I'm not in favor of aborting anybody," Carson said Wednesday.
