A Thought on That Fat A$$ Bill Bennett


Here is the exchange between Bennett and the caller that got him to acknowledge what he believes:

From the September 28 broadcast of Salem Radio Network's Bill Bennett's Morning in America:

CALLER: I noticed the national media, you know, they talk a lot about the loss of revenue, or the inability of the government to fund Social Security, and I was curious, and I've read articles in recent months here, that the abortions that have happened since Roe v. Wade, the lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30-something years, could fund Social Security as we know it today. And the media just doesn't -- never touches this at all.

BENNETT: Assuming they're all productive citizens?

CALLER: Assuming that they are. Even if only a portion of them were, it would be an enormous amount of revenue.

BENNETT: Maybe, maybe, but we don't know what the costs would be, too. I think as -- abortion disproportionately occur among single women? No.

CALLER: I don't know the exact statistics, but quite a bit are, yeah.

BENNETT: All right, well, I mean, I just don't know. I would not argue for the pro-life position based on this, because you don't know. I mean, it cuts both -- you know, one of the arguments in this book Freakonomics that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, they deal with this hypothesis, that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up. Well --

CALLER: Well, I don't think that statistic is accurate.

BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. 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.


Notice how when talking about abortion and its affect on Social Security Bennett qualifies his statement "assuming they're all productive citizens." Now notice when he's talking about the abortion of black babies and the crime rate, he make no statement "assuming they're all criminals." Why because his mind he has already laid down the criteria when he spoke about abortion and Social Security. "Assuming they're all criminals" is the only point that is left out of his linking of the abortion of black babies and crime because that is essence what he already believes. He also says that "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." As far as I know there has never been a black baby who has committed a crime unless the crime that they committed is being born. To some white folks like Bennett being born black is a crime because when this black baby grows up his genetic pre-disposition for crime mainfests itself. I wonder if it truly is a black baby who is genetically criminal that Bennett should be worried about? Maybe that black baby has no genetic pre-disposition at all to commit crime. Maybe after that black baby is brought up into a world of sex, drugs, crime and violence he becomes a product of his environment. Now that Bennett has come up with the solution for the crime rate he can explain the criminal behaviour of Delay, Frist, Bush, Cheney and I doubt its because their mothers are black!
