Abortion is 'holocaust'
Date published: 7/30/2010 Abortion is 'holocaust' On July 15, I read Rabbi Marvin Hier's op-ed about how the Holocaust is often trivialized today when people use the word "holocaust" in reference to events that are insignificant compared to the horrors inflicted on Jews and others during World War II ["Holocaust: A huge word made small"]. I agree that the Gulf oil spill and our flawed health care system, however tragic, hardly compare to the extermination of 6 million human beings. The rabbi is wrong on one point, however: Abortion (the deliberate and systematic extermination of unborn children) is a holocaust. Why shouldn't we equate the abortion industry to Nazi Germany? Like Hitler and his cronies, they use lies and scare tactics to lure frightened women facing unplanned pregnancies into their clinics, and then kill their babies for a few hundred dollars. Is this really less horrific than mass killings of men, women, and children in concentration camps? An abortion not only kills an innocent child, but it also leaves the mother scarred for life. She is more likely to have complications in later pregnancies, depression, and cancer, to name only a few of the risks of abortion. Meanwhile, organizations like Planned Parenthood and NARAL claim to be helping women by killing their unborn children. Rabbi Hier quotes a passage by Rudolf Höss, a commandant of Auschwitz, where he recalls a mother asking, "How can you murder these beautiful, darling children? Don't you have any heart?" I would ask the same question to the perpetrators of the abortion holocaust. On Dictionary.com, the fourth definition of "holocaust" is "any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life." Forty-two million children are aborted worldwide every year. The rabbi says that abortion is not a holocaust. I beg to differ. Sharon Babineau Fredericksburg

Using the logic that it is a choice and that I should just shut
up and not express an opinion, take the following case in
point. Should I notice my neighbor abusing her infant
child I guess I should just say nothing since it is their
CHOICE to beat their child. Yes? Because this is your
insane logic. Anyone who is posting an opinion here was
lucky enough not to have a scalpel pierce its tiny brain, a
burning chemical burn it alive or a suction device tear it
limb from limb.
Well, Faithful...

For the government to come to that conclusion would require logic and common sense. And the government has always been lacking in both...

then why can't I go down to Caledon and make myself a nice omelet out of three eagle eggs? Why does the government recognize the biological fact that those eggs will be come eagles, yet doesn't recognize that a fetus will become a living human being. Maybe even a Nobel Prize winner.
Lobo, I don't really care what you have to say...

Go ahead and continue to prove the points I have made. I'm not sure what your problem is, maybe you need to be on meds, or get them adjusted. In any event, you apparently have to have the last word about everything, so rant about whatever you'd like-I don't care. This is the last time I will address you in any way shape or form until you grow up and learn how to act like an adult and post a CIVIL and respectful post on this blog. Btw, you have been reported to admins-so keep up the personal attacks bud.
