Former Educational Minister, William Bennett, goes on record saying, hypothetically speaking now, "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..." OK, before you think about picking up arms, lets make a some what "sane" attempt to analyze this statement. Please bear with me as I am not an expert in statistics or anything like that. For a minute, and just for a minute try to put away all feelings, emotions, and "human(e)" rationale, in other words be like danZenie. Techinically if you abourt every black baby in this country your crime rate would go down. The same would be true if you were to abort every white baby (yes, White people also commit crimes), or every Latin baby, or every Chinese baby. So, hypothetically speaking, and putting away all of those things that make you "human", William Bennett's theory holds some "truth" to it. He didn't say "if you wanted to ERADICATE crime. That would suggest that only Blacks commit crimes. But wait a second, like I mentioned before I am not an expert in statistics so I might not be looking at this from the correct angle.

During a discussion with Mr. Bass, he said something very interesting. He mentioned the fact that aborting Black babies, or any other babies, also means a serious decrease in population, so if you look at it by way of percentages it would probably not "reduce" the crime rate at all. Anyone interested in doing the math?

OK, now lets get back to our normal "human" self. A hypothesis about eliminating an entire human race? POR FAVOR!!!!! Here is a snippet of what Mr. Bennett had to say in order to uphold his words: "I was putting forward a hypothetical proposition. Put that forward. Examined it. And then said about it that it's morally reprehensible. To recommend abortion of an entire group of people in order to lower your crime rate is morally reprehensible. But this is what happens when you argue that the ends can justify the means,"
