Cut the Crime Rate, Kill Yourself

When it serves the left, they freely admit that blacks are not often rich. Poor people are more likely to commit crimes, for the obvious reason that they cannot own the things they want through their legal income. So a recently published book recommended legal abortion for the reason that abortion killed many future criminals. Which is a lot like the environmental spoof bumper sticker, "Save the Planet, Kill yourself". When a caller to William Bennett's radio show mentioned the aborted criminal theory, Bennett rightly said that abortion for reducing the number of criminals was "morally reprehensible." He was rewarded for his pro-life defense of black children by a number of prominent Democrats crying "Racism!" Democrats have no honor when it comes to abortion, but it also recieved criticism from the president's lackey Scott McClellan as "not appropriate." This is another sign that Bush doesn't really care about abortion- - he just likes Catholic votes. This comes at the same time as Bush's Supreme Court appointee says he believes in "the right to privacy," which is the basis for Roe v. Wade. For Bush to condemn Bennett's anti-abortion remark indicates he has only a facile, superficial commitment to restricting the institution of legalized abortion.
