And you've had an abortion so you know this? I'm sure you'd be surprised at some women's motives.
I would also suggest that while Hitler's motives were related to hatred, many (not all) of the Nazis were motivated by other things. Survival for one, blame for another. Both things that motivate some abortions. For as many reasons as women have abortions, I'm sure there were reasons Nazis had for partaking in the Holocaust.
Now, I'm not saying that abortion is equally as horrifying as the atrocities committed by the Nazis. I'm not even saying that it's a good campaign by the pro-life group. I think that the picture of the aborted fetus is quite enough, thank-you very much, what with it being the size of a nickel and showing human qualities. What I am saying is that you cannot say it is a ridiculous comparison when there are a number of things the two have in common that you cannot dismiss out of hand. Certainly it's mean to shock and disgust people. That's the point. The level of abortions in North America should also shock and disgust people. It's made us all have a nice rational discussion on the matter, which is also the point. I'd say such signs are doing their job.
