What was it Juliet said to Romeo? “A rose by any other name…” How about “genocide by any other name…?” Genocide by any other name is still genocide.
According to Dr. Gregory Stanton, Research Professor in Genocide Studies and Prevention at George Mason University:
We can easily see how abortion fits into each stage of Stanton’s eight stages of genocide.
The idea of comparing the Holocaust to abortion in the United States may seem extreme, but as seen above, the tactics and steps of genocide are used by the proponents of both. Likewise, many individuals who were associated with abortion in the United States also had ties to Nazi Germany. No greater link from the Nazis and abortions exists than the Nazi “Angel of Death,” Josef Mengele. He was an officer of the SS and physician at Auschwitz. He was responsible for selecting prisoners for the gas chambers as well as performing grotesque human experiments on the prisoners. After WWII he escaped to South America and made a living as an abortionist.
Another person who links the Nazi Holocaust and abortion is former Planned Parenthood director, Lothrop Stoddard. He served on the first board of directors for the American Birth Control League, which later changed its name to Planned Parenthood. Stoddard was a well-known white supremacist and eugenicist and worked closely with Margaret Sanger. He was personally invited by Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler to spend four months in Nazi Germany advising the Nazis about eugenics, racial sterilization, and the idea that would later become known as the Final Solution.
Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger viewed non-whites as “socially unfit,” “feeble-minded,” and “imbeciles.” In November of 1922, Sanger wrote in an issue of her magazine, The Birth Control Review that the purpose of Birth Control was “to create a race of thoroughbreds” & that the undesirables (blacks and lower class people) were “an unceasingly spawning class of human beings that should have never born at all!” In 1932, Sanger called for the U.S. government to set aside “work farms” to segregate the racially & socially “unfit.” Much like the Nazi Concentration Camps.
In an article on the post-abortive blog, Men Regret Lost Fatherhood, Kevin Burke discusses the correlation between abortion doctors and the Nazi doctors at Auschwitz. He examines the writings of Dr. Robert Jay Lifton who interviewed many Nazi doctors and prisoners. He talks about how the doctors in the concentration camps rationalized their experiments on the innocent prisoners. Many Nazi doctors saw their experiments as something that was bringing good to society from those who were sentenced to death. We see this very same attitude today from abortion company executives such as Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Senior Director of Medical Services, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, as well as abortionists like Dr. Wille Parker, LeRoy Carhart and Kermit Gosnell. The latter kept jars of aborted children in his refrigerator next to his lunch. These people, who have been to medical school convince themselves and others that brutally killing innocent human beings is for the good of society.
I am reminded of a banquet that I attended several years ago where the speaker made a brief comment in his speech about the Jews killed in the Holocaust. After he mentioned that, from the audience, came a voice in a thick German accent, “I am Nazi Holocaust Survivor, and I say that abortion is America’s holocaust!” Later that night I found the source of this voice to be that of Sibylle Heidrich–von Campe. I spent some time talking to her and came to find that, as children, both her and her brother were forced into the Hitler youth. Their parents were devout Christians who despised the Nazis. Her father, the mayor of their town and a well-respected man in their community was given an offer to join the Nazi party, a position he would’ve profited socially and economically from, but he turned it down because their ideologies didn’t fit his Christian beliefs. Her father actually hid Jews in his house to save them from being taken by the Nazis
The conversation with that woman and her views on the Holocaust and abortion, living through both, radically changed my view. It led me to do extensive research on the connections between abortion, Planned Parenthood, eugenics, and the Nazis. What Mrs. Heidrich–von Campe said was true: abortion IS the American Holocaust. It has caused the death of over 10 times that of the Holocaust carried out by the Nazis. Many of the same tactics are used by the abortion industry as were used by the Nazis. The same excuses are used as well. It is a scary reality that something like the Holocaust could happen right under our noses every day, but on a much larger and industrial scale. It is something that I will spend the rest of my life speaking about and educating people on.
