Racism and abortion

FoxNews has a curious story about former Education Secretary William Bennett and his remarks 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..."

Well, of course it would go down. There would be fewer people in a strong economy, therefore more money to go around, and less crime. The economics, when drawn out to that end, would support abortion of any group of fetuses, whether by race, class, or national origin of parents within the United States. When you break down a nation of people based on a random factor (say age) and then insist on the removal of the next generation of children from that group, it is going to have an effect on the state of the nation both economically and socially.

Basic sociology and economics.

I don't get why people are so sensitive that they took his remarks as racist. I took them as him offering an example that would be overreaching enough to give a ridiculous perspective so as to point out that one cannot take anything to it's logical conclusion, since oftentimes that conclusion is not logical. Sure, more abortions means a steadier birth rate, which means a more stable economy, and less crime. It also means that the economy provides enough money to have police officers at a higher rate than if the number of births were higher.

Whatever. It's all theory and discussion, and very little fact. People getting upset over this need to chill out.
