The second some dense pro-lifer dare
compare the holocaust (the focused slaughtering of millions of people)
with abortion (the focused slaughtering of even more people)
pro-choicers who otherwise would ridicule Jewish people come out of the
shadows to declare the pro-lifer “ridiculous”, “anti-Semitic” and—their
favorite—“stupid”.
Then, about ten seconds later, the same pro-choicer will make the
usual insipid remarks about how “Hitler was against abortion”,
triumphantly grinning in rhetorical victory. I don’t know if people
realize how little this does for pro-choice apologetics, but I would
compare it to the “George Bush is like Hitler!” mantra. Pro-choicers
fail to see the irony of their movement accusing anyone—and I mean anyone, frankly including Hitler himself—of being "like Hitler".
For pro-lifers to compare the outcome of the holocaust (lots of dead
people) with abortion (lots of dead people) is unacceptable to
pro-choicers. They pretend not to grasp our correlation, looking like
confused puppies who can do nothing but gnash their teeth and scream
how we've just "taken it too far". And yet to insinuate that pro-life
belief and Nazism go hand in hand because, well, they are both
anti-abortion is totally acceptable and logical!
Besides the fact that Hitler was not anti-abortion (he was only
anti-abortion when it came to “the right kind” of people--he wasn't a
"fetus lover" like me, just an Aryan fetus lover), even if it were true
it would not be a cementing argument for pro-choice belief but rather a
bizarre twist in logic that anyone with a brain can see. But
pro-choicers have no other choice but to make these kinds of remarks
because their actual belief (killing children—specifically black
children apparently...) is in actuality so close to Nazism that they
scramble to associate the evil anti-choicers with it without actually
thinking. They view us as jerks who want to control women—I don't see
Hitler doing that anywhere. Let me check my history book here—that's
right! Hitler did kill a lot of people however! And that's what the
pro-choice movement advocates on a daily basis! What's more, they also
hide behind their true objective (killing people) with a bunch of
rhetoric. Hitler didn't just out and say, "Let's kill millions of
people!" He did it secretly through rhetoric ("choice"), isolated and
unregulated death camps (abortion clinics), brainwashing (public
schools) and total control of the press ("mainstream" media).
Hitler also targeted certain kinds of people to kill—Planned
Parenthood’s crusade against black people, anyone? Hitler insisted on
total allegiance to the Nazi party—sound like NARAL’s work with the
democratic party? Not to mention there are rumors that Hitler didn’t
bathe—something one suspects of the people who advocate “choice” when
they gather in large numbers.
Pro-lifers and Hitler? Well, both are against abortion. Though
pro-lifers, I do seem to remember, don’t advocate the killing of even
black or homosexual fetuses as "pro-life" Hitler would have.
So no, I'm not just comparing abortion to the holocaust, I am also
comparing pro-choice thought and logic with Nazism in general. It's not
just about "choice", it's about killing off the wrong kinds of people
(poor black people, deformed people, people who stop their mothers from
fitting into their prom dress).
