That's just what I thought. Sometimes analogies are FLAWED analogies because the two things being compared are not really alike in the sense that the comparison is made in. For example :To call people who harbour such doubts 'holocaust deniers' is a flawed analogy because overwhelming evidene indicates that the holocaust DID occur. It is MUCH less certain that man-made global warming is a threat to our well-being.

OTOH, there is no doubt that Abortion is like the holocaust in the sense that the comparison is made in. One group, the unborn, has been targeted for destruction mostly for out of a selfish desire of a more powerful group to have "living space" in a lifestyle sense. Even the numbers are roughly the same. I think about 1/3 the Jews in Europe were slaughtered. About 1/3 preganancies in the USA ended in abortion at its height. It is not much off of that now.

Conclusion: Some people really DO act like Nazis in one sense or another. The abortion crowd is among them.

I have to agree. Not just because of the number of abortions, but because of the way it is being rationalized and how the language of it is corrupted. We say, "abortion is murder". They say, "abortion is mercy". How do you arrive at that? That just seems totally irrational to me. To me its a no-brainer. What rationale did the nazis use to commit abortions? "Euthanizing" the retarded and deformed? What kind of junk science and pseudo-statistics did they use? Rounding up people in the night?
