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

BILL BENNETT, "MORNING IN AMERICA" HOST: One of the arguments in this book, "Freakonomics," that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, this — they deal with this hypothesis that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up.

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

BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.

BENNETT: I don't think it is either, because first of all, I think there's 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.
