This week in class we watched a movie on the pro-life movement can “Unborn in America”. In the movie it followed a group of students that were putting up huge boards on college campuses with pictures of aborted babies and the holocaust and connecting the two. I agree they have the right to put the boards up just like the pro-choicers have the right to do the same. Eve though they are graphic and not pretty picture they can still put them up. However, I took huge offence to the fact that the pro-life people were connecting the Holocaust to abortion. They are NOTHING alike or than the fact that they are killing something, which is also debatable.
During the Holocaust Hitler killed everyone and everything that wasn’t like him. He didn’t only kill Jews. He killed black people, the disabled, etc too. His idea was to purify his land. He believed by getting rid of them his land would be perfect and pure. Abortion is nothing like that. People get abortions because htye know they can’t live with or support another living breathing thing in their life. The child wouldn’t have a good life if they were to be born and they don’t want the child to have to go through that. Hitler was able to support the people he killed but thought they weren’t worth it and he was better without them. The two really have nothing to do with each other and it is very offensive that the pro-life people could even consider putting these kinds of things up in college campuses where peoples families have been apart of the horrors of the Holocaust and it is a terrible history for a lot of people.
