Abortion on demand will be viewed by our progeny as the single greatest blight on our American heritage.

Although Bonhoeffer penned a number of widely read books on theology and Christian apologetics, he is chiefly remembered for his key role in one of several German conspiracies to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Nazi regime. For this he was captured and hanged just weeks before the end of World War II.... ....By contrast, if pro-lifers are modern-day Dietrich Bonhoeffers, then what does that make abortion supporters? In the years leading up to and during World War II, many Germans who were otherwise generally good people succumbed to Nazi propaganda and acquiesced to the horrific Jewish persecution that escalated from a slow boil to a red-hot torrent around them. In effect, they bought into exactly the same kind of dehumanizing, euphemistic semantical garbage embraced by those who today call themselves pro-choice. Mind-boggling is the human capacity to rationalize genocide.
Ping for later

You think Hitler was bad news? If Bonhoeffer & Co had succeeded its quite possible Reinhard Heydrich would have taken Hitler’s place.
Unintended consequences...

Does anyone know what the number is of babies aborted worldwide?

Eight times more innocents have died in the current American Holocaust than the one in the 40’s.
Using the term now, does NOT detract from, nor disrespect the atrocities of the past.
Rather, it emphasizes humanity's capacity for disregard for human life.

“Nonetheless, as long as we continue to allow this enduring slaughter of the most innocent among us...”
Then we need not be surpised when presented with Obama and his efforts to end the American dream.
For we have abused our Freedoms and proven unworthy of God’s gift.

Metaxas has written a wonderful book about a truly great man. The letters between Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his fiance, Maria, are touching and beautiful. Her letter accepting his marriage proposal and the subsequent letters from him are marvels. To him, her answer “Yes” gave him hope and the will to survive. Read what the word meant to him.
Consider that he was in prison with a good chance of being executed, yet his faith that they would be united one day enabled him write those beautiful passages.

Still, my comparison is not intended to be an ad hominem attack. In fact, its not an attack at all. It simply is what it is. To identify the undeniable juxtaposition between the Nazi and abortion holocausts respectively is to make use of the best analogy available. I can think of no more fitting a comparison. If the shoe fits and all that. Oh, one doesn't need to compare abortion to the holocaust. Stalin and Mao-Tse Tung both killed more people. Vladimir the Impaler didn't kill as many, but the particular cruelty with which he killed his victims would make comparisons to him quite apt, since abortions are extraordinarily cruel and violent. With a little imagination, one can get completely away from that whole Hitler/whatever comparison.

We should make sure to share the blame across the whole godless spectrum. The Nazis as bad as they were became the poster boys for cruelty, but look to the communists in any country. They outdo the Nazis by a factor of ten.
