Re: Bill Bennett's Comments On Blacks, Abortion, And Crime

Food for thought from Courtland Milloy:

"Forget about Bennett's absurd crime cure — a proposal he acknowledged would be morally wrong — and just look at the most recent analysis of abortion data, released in July by the Alan Guttmacher Institute."

"African-American women, who make up only 13 percent of the U.S. female population, accounted for 32 percent of the 1,293,000 abortions performed in the United States in 2002."

"That's 413,760 abortions performed on black women in one year"

"If the Ku Klux Klan were killing blacks the way blacks kill blacks, we'd be up in arms."

Read the whole thing.

I agree that abortion as a cure for crime is morally wrong.
