Is Not Always Good For You
Today, according to Breitbart.com and WaPo, the White House felt compelled to condemn as “not appropriate” a comment from someone who happens to be a Republican, but is in no way connected to the current Bush administration, William Bennett.

Bennett said on his radio show, in response to a caller; “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.” He added that it would be a “morally reprehensible thing to do.”

The comments were not appropriate because neither Bennett nor anyone else can know that the statement is true, as it has never been applied and will not be. Even though, he posited the statement as a fact, it really is only his opinion, which he, like everyone else should be entitled to have. Needless to say, the usual suspects jumped on the rolling wagon of hell-bent condemnations.

  • Senate Democratic Searchlight, Harry Reid of Nevada, said he was “appalled” by Bennett’s comments and said he hoped Republicans would condemn him.
  • Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said the comments were “hateful, inflammatory” and asked whether they represented the values of the Republican party.
  • Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton said on CNN that Bennett’s comments were “blatantly racist … stated as a fact that if you did this it would in fact lower the crime rate which clearly is him making blacks and crime synonymous.”

Bennett later explained: “I was putting forward a hypothetical proposition … and then said about it, it was morally reprehensible to recommend abortion of an entire group of people.”

Notwithstanding all the huffing and puffing and outrage from the president on down, the fact of the matter is that the unmentionable elephant in the abortion debate is exactly what William Bennet spotlighted. Eugenics. Everyone knows that in the privacy of their Park Avenue high rises and Hamptons cottages, the pro-abortion supporters will whisper that the nation is better served if many of these black babies are prevented from being born.

William Bennett is unabashedly pro-life, as am I, and those on our side do not support the view that black babies are better off aborted. We believe that no babies should be aborted, as they all, black, brown, white and handicapped, deserve the right to life. Many on the other side, the “Pro-Choice” side, do wish for young black mothers-to-be to make that choice. That is a fact and “I do know that it’s true“.

UPDATE: If you doubt me, if you doubt that the pro-abortion movement targets black babies, watch this Planned Parenthood Promotional Video (WMV), hosted by CNSNews.com, because Planned Parenthood finally removed it from their site. It is a cartoon targeting black children by featuring sex and violence. A Christian preacher is told that he is ugly and dresses funny and called “trash” and then drowned. Pro-life demonstrators outside of an abortion clinic are blown up. Reverend Jerry Falwell is referred to by an Yiddish vulgarity and the Washington Monument is swathed in a giant condom. Every “good” person in the film is a person of color. Almost all of the villians are white. Why do you suppose that is? If you watch until the ending credits you will see Planned Parenthood, using a giant condom as a weapon, blast a U.S. Army helicopter out of the sky and behead a pro-life demonstrator.
