Certainly. Now answer my question. Is the fact that 50 million fetuses have been aborted 8-9 times as bad as the Jewish holocaust? Is the US more evil than Nazi Germany?
Certainly not.
But there are many in America who stand on no higher moral plane than Hitler's eugenicists.
And those of us who are pro-life do not and will not stand with them.
I will, but let the record show, I asked you a question at the beginning of the conversation that you answered with your own question. I'd still like to know why the origins of an 800 year-old word meaning "mass slaughter" should not be used to describe the mass-slaughter of 49 million innocent Americans.
Is the fact that 50 million fetuses have been aborted 8-9 times as bad as the Jewish holocaust?
We just think about these things in fundamentally different terms. I've never considered one act of evil to be any "times" more evil than the other. Evil will kill as long as its permitted to do so. As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein is luck. If Florida swings the other way in 2000, Saddam's facing Al Gore instead of Bush and he's probably still a holocaust in-progress. But both men were equally committed to evil, there can be no doubt about that.
I see abortion the same way. It's evil, doing what evil does: killing as long as its permitted to kill.
Hitler killed more than 50 million people, combined. Stalin killed 50 million. Mao Zedong killed 50 million. Abortion in America has killed 50 million. The fact that abortion in one country has killed as many people in a civilized western society as the armies of the most brutal dictators in history leads me to believe that abortion, the act itself, may be the greatest act of evil ever visited upon mankind. Especially when you consider how many children are aborted every day world-wide. It has to be a staggering number.
Is the US more evil than Nazi Germany?
No. But that doesn't mean evil doesn't exist here. It does, and it's able to kill more than a million kids right under our noses every year. That should tell you something about the way evil works.
