A word from a former Secretary of Education

William Bennett, Secretary of Education under Reagan, said the following on a recent radio program of his, "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. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."

This is one guy who is not shy about revealing his true feelings. I wonder if Barack Obama was listening.

Al -

Do you think Bennett's comments are really any different - or any less controversial - than the conclusions made in the book Freakonomics - - that legalized and funded abortions are largely responsible for today's lower crime rates? It's a statistical fact, and a sad one at that.
