Abortion Exceeds the Nazi Death Toll

Dr. Walter Williams wrote this piece, which appeared in Townhall.com on Wednesday, explaining how most academics are not actually communist, but rather anti-anti-communist. In the article, he referred to a a book by R.J. Rummell, a professor at the University of Hawaii, which stated that the 20th century recorded the most deaths of citizens at the hands of government in history. He cited that under communism, Stalin's Soviet Union killed around 62 million of its own citizens. Mao Zedong's Red China killed over 35 million in the 20th century. By comparison, Hitler's Nazi Germany killed 21 million.

In a recent post on Big Blue Wave, Suzanne cites a figure that over 40 million babies have been butchered under abortion. This exceeds the Nazi death toll cited in Rummell's book, and approaches the Soviet rate of murder.

Given that if Hitler and the Nazi's had not been defeated, Naziism may have taken the claim to most barbaric, since communism thrived a lot longer than Nazi Germany. But abortion has only been legalized federally in the U.S. since 1973, a mere 33 years. At the present rate, if the practice of abortion survives, it will exceed the communist Soviet death toll in 18 years. That many deaths in considerably less time, since communism was the controlling force in the Soviet Union and the regions comprising it for about 70-80 years.

Abortion is murder, plain and simple. It is not a matter of whether or not teenage girls are ruining their lives by a few seconds of pleasure in a druken stupor, a "mistake", nor is it a matter of whether or not government, under the guise of the evil "Patriarchy" is trying to control the body of a woman. Rather, it is a matter of the death of another human being who is most innocent among us.

Here is another link that I found interesting that I pulled from the comments at Big Blue Wave.
