Bill Bennett made the following comment on a talk radio show:

"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 said this to a caller who suggested that whether the nation aborts or doesn't abort the more than 1 million babies who are aborted each year has an impact on social security taxes collected or benefits paid. He made his comments in the context of saying that abortion is, in and of itself, morally wrong. He also made these comments in the context of saying that what the caller was saying was ridiculous. He said these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are morally reprehensible.

His comments were taken out of context. End of story. But here are some comments not taken out of context. See if you can identify the author of them:

• Black people, Jews, Southern European immigrants (especially Italians) are inferior human beings.
  
• Mandatory sterilization of the poor should be a prerequisite to receiving any public aid.
  
• "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population" because the more militant among them will rebel.
  
• "More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control."
  
• Immigrants, poor people and blacks are "human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning... human beings who never should have been born."
  
• "The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
  
• "Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race." - Of course the person who said this meant cleaner white race.
  
• "As an advocate of birth control I wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation."
  
• The government of the United States should "take an inventory of the secondary group such as illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, dope fiends; classify them in special departments under government medical protection, and segregate them on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct." In essence, this is a plan to implement concentration camps for the "unfit" or those of poorer genetics.
  

I say these comments were not taken out of context because they were included in publications, books and speeches in which the person was advocating for strengthening of the master race of native-born, white Americans.

Have you guessed who spoke these words? They were spoken by alcoholic, demerol addicted, promiscuous (perhaps sex addicted) eugenicist Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Don't believe me? Check this out for yourself. She was a prolific writer and you can easily find her views anywhere on the web or off.

Her views were ultimately toned down in light of Hitler's atrocities. Hitler ended for all practical purposes the eugenics movement in this country but that was transformed into the abortion movement because necessarily the target of groups such as Planned Parenthood is those less affluent, those who live in ghettos, those who have more babies than well-to-do white anglo-saxon protestants.

So, who's zoomin who?
