Do I personally believe that? No. There is no factual data that correlates Hitlers claims with data to prove it. Of course, no data exists, either, so we may never know.

But by using abortion's claim that it reduces criminal rates since it targets the poor and 'unsavory' in our world, then one could possibly argue that Nazi eugenics may have had merit, since we do find precedent in modern abortion statistics, and the correlated population groups that it slaughters (mainly blacks and poor).

So what you're saying is that the comparison you were supposedly drawing is actually completely baseless and was merely a convenient excuse to insert a comparison of abortion to the Holocaust (and abortionists to Hitler) into the discussion.  Gotcha. 

In any case your argument falls apart when you assume that the fetuses being aborted are persons, which is quite debatable, as you should know, having yourself participated in more than one debate on that very subject on this forum alone.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
