We will have to wait, he hasn't finished yet. William Bennet, an adviser 
of his 2000 election campaign, apparently said:

"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."

The idea is there already and has been put forward, albeit with all the 
necessary disclaimers, because people aren't ready for it yet. If it 
were so impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible how come a 
professional campaign adviser (who knows everything about PR and 
communication), can have it in the first place and dare speak about it 
in public?
