Harold Ford condemns Bennett comments

Congressman Harold Ford released the following statement in response to Bill Bennett's comments on Salem Radio Network:"To advocate the killing black babies as a way to reduce crime is the dumbest and most heinous thing a person of faith or any human being could say. It is indefensible. Salem Radio Network should remove Mr. Bennett and if they choose not to, they should be severely punished by the Federal Communications Commission. Mr. Bennett owes America an apology."

As pro-life Democrat and a believer in racial equality, I am deeply offended by Bennett's comments. I also hope that Congressman Ford and the Congressional Black Caucus will get behind the 95/10 plan which will promote alternatives to the tragedy of abortion.
