[On abortion.]
It IS worse than the holocaust. The only atrocities it compares to is Stalin’s reign of terror and Mao’s cultural revolution.

"It IS worse than the holocaust."
You don't know much about the medical experiments carried out on the jews, do you?
Ill grant Stalin probably did kill more people but he had more time. Hitler would have killed more if he had been in power that long.
And Mao's cultural revolution doesn't compare because few of those killings were directed by the state. The terror of the cultural revolution was accomplished mostly by just allowing students to destroy anything that smacked of "old, bourgeois ways".
And abortion can't compare to any of them.
And how does it compare to Ceaucescu's policy of forcing all Romanian women to give birth to 5 children during his reign?
Or the rape camps of the Balkan Wars?
Or the child brides of FLDS, India and the Middle East?
Let's see... six million or so people who could actually feel pain, fear, and despair compared to millions of cell clusters which never felt any pain at all.
Masturbation must be far worse than the holocaust, because every ejaculation kills about 20 million potential humans. Consider the millions of men masturbating daily and the number of potential human lives lost are staggering. Every sperm is sacred.
And then there's all the women who dare to have periods every month instead of getting pregnant every time they ovulate like the Duggars and all the other quiverfull idiots out there.
Because we herd fetuses into labour camps, work them half to death while feeding them the bare minimum (if that), tear apart their families and then gas them all because we don't like their religion, sexual orientation, etc...
@ Ajax, one little niggle:
Re the Cultural Revolution, "students" were liable to be among the victims. The youth that Mao empowered were otherwise disenfranchised, and liable to be a threat to society.
I sense a bit of anti-Semitism on your part, Ichabod. As in, the Holocaust wasn't as bad as abortions, because I don't care as much about Jews as I do about babies... That or just ignorance on an incredible scale...
Let's see here...
--The huge majority of abortions are carried out when the fetuses in question don't yet have functioning nervous systems, and so don't have the capacity to feel pain, suffer, or be self-aware (and so don't meet the bare minimum standards for consideration as subjects in most ethical systems). The exceptions are mostly in cases where the babies that those fetuses would develop into wouldn't survive more than a few days of extreme suffering.
--The Shoah, Stalin's purges, etc. were all directed against actual people with actual functioning minds and nervous systems, capable of suffering horribly.
Yeah, not much comparison there.
I'm getting to the point where I thing you should not be allowed to use the term holocaust unless you're actually talking about the holocaust.
It gets tiring to hear this all the time. If government officials were breaking into womens houses in the middle of the night to drag them off to abortion camps, then maybe, just maybe, you could compare it to the holocaust.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
