Another Nail in the GOP Coffin???
William Bennett, on his radio show, "Morning in America," was answering a caller's question when he took issue with the hypothesis put forth in a recent book that one reason crime is down is that abortion is up.
"But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down," said Bennett, author of "The Book of Virtues."
He went on to call that "an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky."
Clearly, the 'tricky' part is being able to get away with it. But I'm guessing if he thought it and said it out loud, it's not as morally reprehensible as he'd like to back-pedal on.
I am completely flabbergasted.
stuff & nonsense
