I’ve noticed how pro-abortion people were themselves not aborted.
“Jessa Duggar Criticized for Linking the Holocaust With Abortion”
I cannot think of a more fitting comparison — What else would you compare it to.
In America, all our constitutional protections rest on the Founders' premise that all human beings are "endowed by their Creator" with rights to both life and the liberty to "pursue happiness." That is the sole reason those rights are deemed unalienable--because they are derived, not from another human being, not from a government, not even from the mother, but from God.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." - Thomas Jefferson
That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life, liberty, and laws to protect them.
Since the 1970's, technological advances have enabled us to observe God's tiniest creations in the womb. We no longer have an excuse for imagining that these are blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." They are living babies who will have life and liberty if we do not "destroy" them.
At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on February 3, 1994, Mother Teresa stated: “And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
Indeed, if we cannot protect the life and liberty of these smallest versions of ourselves, even with their so-called "imperfections," then Mother Teresa's words take on significant meaning.
The comparison is apt, the only difference is the location of the victims.
do they think it might be a giraffe or something?
Funny - I say “you’re right, it must be a wombat”.
Ironically, most Jews are in favor of legal abortion. They are their own worst enemies.
BTW...my wife loves the Duggar’s TV show. They represent a family very involved in the raising of thier children with thier Christian world views. I don’t really care what the world thinks of me for thinking this way.

You are not alone! I am thoroughly enjoying watching the Duggars & their preparation for Jill’s wedding. In this society, they are SO old-fashioned .... but they are doing what families are supposed to be doing and protecting their children. They have the utmost respect for the institution of marriage, believe the aspects of a physical relationship should be saved for marriage, and are protecting their daughters until the time they are married. The little kids that go along as “chaperones” are hilarious (Derek serving hummus, figs, etc. to James, was it? He said the next time he agrees to chaperone, he’s checking what’s for dinner first!). I also thought it was touching that a couple of Jill’s sisters were along as chaperones and got to see Derek’s proposal - very sweet. Bottom line, I admire them for sticking to their beliefs and raising good, respectful, religious kids who will all be “givers” and not takers.
Remember, for liberals of all stripes, their liberalism/humanism is their primary religion,
followed by their “social club membership” in their secondary religion.
**It’s the SAME Holocaust and it’s governed by the same eugenic beliefs, all that has changed is the phraseology and the people committing the slaughter. **
Chesterton on birth control/population control:
In 1925 Chesterton wrote an introduction to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in which he said that “The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him, whether he is part of the surplus population; or if not, how he knows he is not.”
Apparently Jews won the holocaust 6-5.
If you find that offensive, then you should also find offensive the view of certain Jews that they "own" the holocaust.
I had Serbian family members murdered at Jasenovac. I firmly stand against all genocide, not just that which benefits my sectarian views.
Eventually the conversation got around to WWII and Hitler. My friend would buy a round, and everyone would agree that Hitler was a horrible man who should never have been allowed to come into power.
He'd buy another round, and then someone would say, yes, Hitler was a horrible man, but he did some good things.
By the third round, it was "By God, we need a man like Hitler again!"
Oh, did I mention? My friend was wheelchair bound.
That is a remarkably ignorant comment. The national socialist Third Reich, by the most sweeping estimates I have seen (RJ Rummel), killed between 15 and 20 million innocent people in death camps and other forms of deliberate mass slaughter. The international communist (yes, that's what we have become) United States of America have murdered more than 55 million people by abortion, and the slaughter continues.
The United States stomped the Third Reich into the ground, and was right to do so ... but then became worse than the Third Reich in the matter of government sanctioned mass slaughter.
Alcohol and herd mentality. Pretty predictable.
I just wish that we could point that out more often. As for the Dugger girl, right on!
Agreed
And to get everyone's panties really in a bunch, she should retract the earlier statement, and then link abortion only to the non-Jewish portion of the holocaust.
If that sounds crazy, it's only because I'm pointing out the absurdity of the original "offended".
Bingo.
Unfortunately a minority of Jews and Christians react unthinkingly to anything they perceive stems from the others' religion, as if the two religions are utterly opposed instead of inextricably intertwined.
