It's ridiculous to refer to it as a 'holocaust', especially if you are aware of the etymological roots of the wors.One of the modern definitions of the word refers to "any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life".
How does the etymological derivative of the word disqualify the above definition from describing the act of killing nearly 50 million children? Seems like a perfect fit to me.

Is the fact that abortion is legal in the US ten times as bad as the Jewish holocaust? Are pro-choicers as bad as the Nazi's?
