That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down.


From the illustrious Republican Bill Bennet:
"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. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky."

I'm sure that you are an intelligent person, probably educated to at least a high school level, maybe even have a family and a job, and perhaps you contribute to society in some way. Why, then, do you allow your hatred of a person, or an ideal, skew your judgment to the point you would have such a ridiculous thought? I mean, you're going back a few years for the Bill Benett comment. Is it necessary to try so hard to be so shameful?

ok, umm, exciting learn you purchased going yet i might could desire to assert, i does no longer inevitably call it racist to abort all black toddlers yet i might call it morally, ethiclly, and culturally incorrect. in actuality it particularly is erroneous on lots of stages because of the fact custom is a alluring factor, to obilterate an entire inhabitants of a custom's technology is merely unfavourable no longer purely to the mummy's and their custom yet in addition to all people else. we would be robbed of persons that we would possibly on no account comprehend, persons that should remedy international starvation, write a special, have their own alluring infants or strengthen into the President. Now don't get me incorrect i'm no longer announcing that abortion is erroneous i'm announcing that the belief of destroying an entire cultural technology is erroneous. that's no longer a question approximately abortion, it particularly is a question approximately morals. EDIT No, i'm no longer announcing abortion is erroneous, you're lacking my factor, i'm announcing destroying an entire cultural technology is erroneous, whether it particularly is from abortion or in the event that they have been killed after start (like the story of Moses) Abortion isn't incorrect. This assertion hits upon a lots deeper point than merely whether or no longer abortion is erroneous or the assertion is racist. i think of with a view to make certain the vast image you are able to desire to look previous racism and the abortion controversey and concentration on the actuality that in spite of the shown fact that those infants are destroyed they may be destroyed and THAT (no longer abortion) is morally incorrect.

Bush has made little difference in terms of violence. Though, violent crime has actually gone over the past decade, and there were more deaths under Saddam than there are in the Iraq War.
