First, you seem to have missed the point of the article. The comparison is made between how Blacks and Jews have been targeted as “undesirable” and the means by which others have sought to reduce their numbers.

How do you know this considering they have a soul.
they dont have the mentality of what life is.
Read your Bible, Luke Chapter 1. What happened when Mary went to see Elizabeth? The baby in her womb leapt with joy. Hardly unaware!!
What he said seems pretty accurate to me, a new born wouldn’t really know what was happening to it is you suddenly stuck it underwater and held it there immediately after birth. I don’t imagine that the yet to be born have any more sense about them. Still abortion is terrible and inhumane regardless of the truth in the matter of their awareness.
First off, im not a guy, im a girl.
and yes, i am a christian, but i also know that a fetus cannot understand what is happening around him/her as he cannot even see outside the womans womb and ontop of that, they dont even know its a womb, they dont know ANYTHING yet.
you do understand that the practice of eugenics, a philosophy rampant among intellectuals throughout the early 20th century, lead first to the founding of PP, and then logically to the political structure that brought the holocaust to fruition? if not please get a good book on 20th century history.
I guess i agree with patrick when he says that comparing abortion to the hollocaust is a bit off. I DO NOT agree with abortion, but i would never compare it to the hollocaust simply because a fetus and an actual person who understands life and what is going on has different mentality. its just not the same and shouldnt be considered the same.
Do you realize that the word “fetus” simply means baby, or little child?..And that, in ancient times, when a Roman father did not want the child his wife had just borne, he would tell a slave to take the “fetus” out and leave “it” to die?
“it”] :crying:suffers.No it is a very good comparison. In both cases, there was a legal re-definition of what it means to be human. A segment of the population was legally defined as being somewhat less than human, and therefore could be exterminated at will. So the comparison is perfectly valid on the social-political front, as a warning on what happens when a democratically elected government defines a segment of the population as being less than fully human.
to iterate what others have pointed out, author does NOT equate abortion with the holocaust per se but points out that the same thinking that led to the founding of PP, and to the arguments in favor of abortion, are based on a theory of unfit races or types and that exterminating them is a social good that should be promoted through the political power and that furthermore this philosophy has led to the holocaust in the last century and to de facto extermination of blacks and other minorities in this century. Those who make this logical connection are not comparing the subjective degree of suffering of the victims of these government sponsored tragedies, which is another discussion entirely.
Wow, way to downplay the extreme pain caused by scissors, scalpels, burning and other things done by abortion “doctors.”
