If Bennett was citing the freakonomics hypothesis which, according to this dude, does not include race at all, then the mention of babies being black is a completely unnecessary qualifier.

Oh, I think he did it on purpose.

The pro-choice crowd has always suffered from the lack of moral high ground, and Levitt's argument gives them a shot at it. Any claims to abortion being the lesser evil are a direct threat to an abolitionist agenda.

By associating the argument with racism, and baiting liberals into huffy condemnation, Bennet taints that entire line of reasoning.
