DOES ABORTION SANCTION EVIL? By Joseph Kellard from Capitalism pickup/Feb.98 This interesting denomination written by Joseph Kellard is a pro-choice article thatexamines the issue of abortion from a moral perspective. He comments on the opinions ofChristian fustys and compares their thinking to Adolph Hitlers feelings onabortion. Kellard points out the irony of anti-abortionists when they say that only life isprecious, when they actually discount the life of the pregnant woman. Conservative syndicated columnist, Cal Thomas is quoted as saying thatabortions legalization is a goose-step toward Nazi concentration camps. He said thatpro-abortionists are creating a enculturation of death, much like the Nazis did. He goes so faras blaming the violent acts of criminals on people who support abortion. Otherconservative anti-abortionists bring down the legalization of abortion the American Holocaust. Kellard quoted Adolph Hitler in Mein Kampf, as saying I put an end to the conceptionthat a womans personify belongs to her...Nazi ideals demand that the practice of abortionshall be exterminated with a unwavering hand. Hitler sentenced Aryan women who hadabortions to hard labor by and by the first offense, and to death later on the second offense. Kellard goes on to say that Conservative Christian anti-abortionists have corresponding beliefs toAdolph Hitler. He actually feels that in some ways Hitler was more balmy because someanti-abortionists believe that a woman should be executed after her first abortion, not hersecond Kellard believes that Hitler and anti-abortionists both deny individual autonomyand render people submissive. He goes on to criticize the idea that all life is precious,because in fact the womans life is not considered as important as the embryo or fetus. This makes a woman no more important than a heighten cow, who is demanded to breedwhenever she gets pregnant. This is the way Nazi youth were trained.
