Let me explain the analogy since you missed it:

Should we save the victims one by one? Or would it be better to go after the killers instead?

Do we treat the symptoms as they arise? Or shouldn’t we instead treat the disease?

Do we save a handful of Jews at a time from death camps? Or do we march in with guns blazing and instead put an end to the evil Nazi regime that’s slaughtering them?

If these women are killing their babies because they’re “basically good people” whom our culture has convinced that abortion is not murder, maybe we could put a swift end to all this butchery by shouting far and wide that it IS murder. It’s worked in the past. What’ve we got to lose? (Except a smile of approval from certain of our fellow pro-lifers.)

You think "calling them what they are" is analogous to massing an army to halt the slaughter?

Do we save a handful of Jews at a time from death camps? Or do we march in with guns blazing and instead put an end to the evil Nazi regime that’s slaughtering them?

Saving a handful of Jews at a time does more good than simply calling the Nazis what they are - and for those who crow about doing the latter to disparage the activities of the former is beyond contemptible.
