Didn't Hitler attempt to control population by killing "unwanted" people? So why do we accept abortion?

Your equation of Hitler and someone seeking an abortion is totally illogical, just the sort of empty emotional appeal that Nazi propaganda perfected.  You may disapprove of a woman getting an abortion, but there's no way you can make that the moral equivalent of rounding up Jews and murdering them en masse.

This is an interesting point because pro-abortion people always ingore the fact that a newborn can't survive on it's own either.\n\nIt's not about a woman's rights, it's about killing babies. That's it. Some people would rather rip a babies body apart with a suction tube than take a birth control pill.\n\n(now watch, some lib will post something about rape and insest as though more than just a few abortions are as a result of rape and insest)

Hitler would have succeeded in his first Final Solution. No Jews, therefore no Israel. This would have made the Muslims very happy. Until Adolph started using America's vast resources to bomb them off the face of the planet. He wasn't just anti-Jewish you know. He was a full-blown anti-Semite and that means Arabs and anyone else who followed Allah.\n\nAfter he rid the world of these two "vermin" races, he'd have knocked off the Slavs, although by that time, having used them as slave labor for several years there wouldn't be all that many left.\n\nThen the Chinese would'a got theirs. They'd have still become Commies and the only thing Hitler hated more than Semites was Commies.\n\nAfrica would have had their turn at a bloodbath next, because in 1936 he showed just how much he hated blacks.\n\nThen South America would be genocided because it has polyglot races and he was all for racial purity.\n\nThen he'd turn his attention to North America for the same reason and depopulate Mexico, Canada and the US.\n\nFinally he'd bump off any remaining Catholics and all non-Aryan Protestants in Europe.\n\nOne thing's for sure. If Hitler had won, there'd be no overpopulation problem. He'da whittled the numbers down to less than 50 million worldwide.\n\nThen he would have given parts of the world the size of old Spanish land grants to his buddies in the Reichstag and helped them to repopulate said areas with their slaves.\n\nTHEN, he'da found an excuse to declare war on the new owners and wiped them out.\n\nIf he lived into his 90's, he'd probably have succeeded in wiping humanity off Earth, not to mention wiping out most other lifeforms as well (all those nukes doncha know).\n\nWhat a great future..........if you happen to be anaerobic bacteria, that is.

What about medicine?  Aren't we "interfering with evolution" whenver we try to cure someone of a disease or heal them?  What about vaccines?  What about insulin?  \n\nNot only that, aren't we "interfering with evolution" when we feed people who are starving in other countries?  If they can't get to the food, they should die, right?  Because "evolution" must go on...\n\nSigh.  I'm sorry I'm being sarcastic it's just that people who want heartless "natural selection" to be the governing force of our lives are trying to remove all vestiges of mercy and kindness from society.  \n\nDid you know Hitler used "natural selection" to justify the holocaust?  \n\nIn Mein Kampf, Hitler used the German word for evolution (Entwicklung) many times, citing "lower human types." He criticized the Jews for bringing "Negroes into the Rhineland" with the aim of "ruining the white race by the necessarily resulting ization." He spoke of "Monstrosities halfway between man and ape" and lamented the fact of Christians going to "Central Africa" to set up "Negro missions," resulting in the turning of "healthy . . . human beings into a rotten brood of s." In his chapter entitled "Nation and Race," he said, "The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he, after all, is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development (Hoherentwicklung) of organic living beings would be unthinkable." A few pages later, he said, "Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live."\n\nIf you believe this you are in awful company...

Okay... most of the above answers are WRONG.\n\nYour question is WRONG.\n\nFirst, it's not "chosen"... \n\nSecond, it wasn't JUST THE JEWS.\n\nI am getting so tired of explaining this, but I guess I have to...\n\n"Another consequence of Hitler's ruthless dictatorship in the 1930s was the arrest of political opponents and trade unionists and others the Nazis labeled "undesirables" and "enemies of the state." While Jews were the primary target, Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals, the handicapped & political dissidents were also trapped in the deadly grip of Nazi ideology.”1 Responses. German public reactions & reactions of the churches to the Nazi persecutions."\n\n"It was the explicit aim of Hitler's regime to create a European world both dominated and populated by the "Aryan" race. The Nazi machinery was dedicated to eradicating millions of people it deemed undesirable. Some people were undesirable by Nazi standards because of who they were, their genetic or cultural origins or health conditions. These included Jews, Gypsies, Poles & other Slavs, & people with physical or mental disabilities. Others were Nazi victims because of what they did. These victims of the Nazi regime were Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, the dissenting clergy, Communists, Socialists, asocials, & other political enemies."\n\n"The Nazis also persecuted authors and artists whose works they considered subversive or who were Jewish. \n\n“The remnants of the Communist and Socialist parties and members of the trade unions resisted the Nazi regime. Among the earliest victims of Nazi discrimination in Germany were political opponents--primarily Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, and trade unionists. In 1933, the Nazis established the first concentration camp, Dachau, as a detention center for political prisoners. Especially in the early years of the Third Reich, political prisoners were a significant portion of the concentration camp inmates. At the end of July 1933, about 27,000 political prisoners were being held in concentration camps in "protective custody." During its twelve year existence, Dachau was always a camp for political prisoners. \n\nIn 1935, the Nazis intensify the persecution of political dissidents and others considered “racially inferior” including “Gypsies,” Jehovah’s Witnesses, and homosexuals. Many are sent to concentration camps."

You have logic in your argument, and it makes complete sense.  People just want a reason to justify not having to deal with a baby, because they wanted to have sex more.  People need to speak up for, and fight for those that cannot fight for their own lives.  Unborn humans, which if left alone, will grow to become like you and I, did not ask to be made or born, but have the right to life like you and I.  I will always fight for them, and speak up.  There are little souls in there, and people don't realize how totally serious it is to stop a beating heart.

We entered WWII after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, not because Hitler declared war on America, it was common knowledge that Hitler wanted to take over the world. It wasn't 20 million people it was 11-12 million. if you really want to place the blame anywhere but the Nazis and Fascists then you should blame France and Britain and the other Allies that attend the Munich Conference. It was here that the policy of appeasement was applied towards Hitler. Appeasement if you don't know is the act of giving in to enemies in order to avoid war. Britain and France allowed hitler to take over the Rhineland and it was only after hitler's invasion of Poland that the rest of Europe declared war. Also the blame lies with the individals that lived in areas surrounding the concentration camps that swore after the war that they had no idea what was going on in their backyards (as if the smell of rotting and burning flesh isn't and obvious give away!!) and FDR's New Deal Programs helped to pull us out of the Great Depression as opposed to Hoover who didn't try to help the unemployed and starving people that were being thrown from their homes!

Hitler was a mystical minded idiot who's only claim to fame was being in the right place at the right time and taking over a bunch of simple minded already angry and bitter people who wanted revenge on the world. I bet in his book he talks a lot about WWI and God? Hitler's a joke. What influence has he had? National socialism, pah, that's barely a sentence, let alone an attempt at a philosophy. "Germans are genetically superior, therefore they must rule the world." The refutation is WWII itself: Germans lost, therefore that statement is false, therefore, done.

It was up to Hitler to ask for forgiveness for his sins.\n\nnobody else can do that for you.

Nazi Germany\nIndiana(USA) in the 19th Century,including the compulsory sterilisation of the mentally ill and 'undesirables'\nBy 1917, fifteen US states had eugenics laws to sterilise epileptics, the mentally ill and regular criminals. On the agenda of the Third International Congress in 1932 was the 'problem' of African-Americans which, according to the delegates, revealed a need to sterilise to 'cut off bad stock'. At this meeting were several Nazis, including Dr Ernst Rudin, who had been enabled to attend by the Hamburg-Amerika Shipping Line, owned by the Harriman and Bush families. On returning to Germany, Rudin, who was funded by the Rockefellers, supervised the policy of sterilizing those who were retarded, deaf, blind or alcoholics.\n\nIndonesia\n\nIndia\n\nIn Germany they wanted what they called a pure race of people\n\nIn any country, rapid population growth places a strain on the available resources, but in a developing country like India, many resources are already scarce. A quickly regenerating population exacerbates shortages of food and water and ensures that the nation’s long-term growth will be hampered by a less healthy therefore less productive work force, a greater demand for natural resource consumption, and a higher level of environmental degradation resulting from such consumption.\n\nChina has a one child policy, good article in the below link. Girls receive less care and attention than boys in many Chinese homes, reducing the chance of survival of girls beyond their first birthday.\n\nThe primary target is to reduce the total birth rate to below the replacement rate, which, after many years of endeavor, has been achieved in China. The second target should be zero population growth, which will take some time in China.\n\nIn the process of attaining zero growth,   first, in 100 years, to strive to reduce the population to 800 million or lower, and no higher than 1 billion; second, to further reduce the population to around 300 million within two hundred years, at most 500 million. Only with a population of 300-500 million, can the quality of life and living environment be set at an ideal level, he said.\n\nTo achieve the first century’s target, the total birth rate must be further and rapidly reduced, and maintained at a rate of 0.16 percent. If from now on, every couple were to give birth to one child, the total birth rate would quickly drop below 0.16% and keep falling. In 34 years, the rate would be 0.1%. At this rate, 100 years from now, the population would be reduced to 400 million. \n\nBecause of the cultural and economic incentives for male children, female children are more likely to be aborted and become victims of infanticide. In 1995, there were 1,166 boys born for every girl (Scharping 290). In 1994, there were 1,211; in 1993, there were 1,213. These numbers add up over time, leading to a population of many unmarried men.\n\nChina, implemented with the help and support of UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) coercive population control measures aimed at limiting the number of children in urban areas to no more than one per a woman's fertile years (two children in rural areas). \n\nEven India is rapidly approaching the point reached by all developed countries already, where the total fertility rate drops below the level of slightly more than two children per family that guarantees stable population levels.  India's TFR has approached 2.8 and is falling rapidly, with the trend being that within just a few years it will be below the TFR required to maintain its population.\n\nThey seem to have the best strategy in place right now, but of course most of us don't agree with it although if individuals don't control themselves and the number of children they have then there will be over population.

Adolf Hitler  (April 20, 1889 – April 30, 1945) was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 and Führer (Leader) of Germany from 1934 until his death. He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party.\n\nHitler gained power in Germany facing crisis after World War I. He used charismatic oratory and propaganda, appealing to economic need, nationalism and anti-Semitism to establish an authoritarian regime. With a restructured economy and rearmed military, Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the intention of expanding German Lebensraum ('living space') and triggered a major war in Europe by invading Poland. At the height of their power, Germany and the Axis Powers occupied most of Europe, but were eventually defeated by the Allies in what became known as World War II. By then, Hitler's racial policies had culminated in the genocide, number of victims is commonly cited as about 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews.\n\nIn the final days of the war, at the age of 56, Hitler committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin, together with his newly wed wife, Eva Braun.\n\nHOLCAUST\nBetween 1939 and 1945 the SS, assisted by collaborationist governments and recruits from occupied countries, systematically killed about 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews[4], in concentration camps, ghettos and mass executions, or through less systematic methods elsewhere. Besides being gassed to death, many also died of starvation and disease while working as slave labourers. Along with Jews, non-Jewish Poles (over 3 million of whom died), alleged communists or political opposition, members of resistance groups, homosexuals, dissenting Roman Catholics and Protestants, Roma, the physically handicapped and mentally retarded, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, anti-Nazi clergy, trade unionists, and psychiatric patients were killed. This industrial-scale genocide in Europe is referred to as the Holocaust (the term is also used by some authors in a narrower sense, to refer specifically to the unprecedented destruction of European Jewry in particular).\n\nThe massacres that led to the coining of the word "genocide" (the Endlösung der jüdischen Frage or "Final Solution of the Jewish Question") were planned and ordered by leading Nazis, with Himmler playing a key role. While no specific order from Hitler authorizing the mass killing of the Jews has surfaced, there is documentation showing that he approved the Einsatzgruppen and the evidence also suggests that sometime in the fall of 1941 Himmler and Hitler agreed in principle on mass extermination by gassing. During interrogations by Soviet intelligence officers declassified over fifty years later, Hitler's valet Heinz Linge and his military aide Otto Gunsche said Hitler had "pored over the first blueprints of gas chambers."\n\nTo make for smoother intra-governmental cooperation in the implementation of this "Final Solution" to the "Jewish question", the Wannsee conference was held near Berlin on January 20, 1942, with fifteen senior officials participating, led by Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann. The records of this meeting provide the clearest evidence of central planning for the Holocaust. Days later, on February 22, Hitler was recorded saying to his closest associates, "we shall regain our health only by eliminating the Jew".\nHitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker on April 30, 1945 by means of a self-delivered shot to the head (it is likely he simultaneously bit into a cyanide ampoule). Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun (his long-term mistress whom he had married the day before) \n\nSo my friend he was not a good man

There were thousands of good decent jews rounded up, put on trains, sent to concentration camps and killed cruelly, heinously!  Nevermind how many. Nevermind those who conveniently "forget".  Hitler  was a dictator who ran Germany.  He was an insane man with senseless prejudices that blue eyed blonds are superior to brunettes and that jews should be annihilated.  Whole families were called to come...they knew not for what.  There were constant calls for certain people. When their names were called they were ordered into one of the buildings, told to disrobe and get into the showers.   If they were lucky, water came through the shower over their head. People who escaped the worst reported that men who ran the showers would play with freezing and boiling water, on people, but this was relatively kind.  When they weren't playing with the water, they had the gas jets on and people were killed.  Trenches were dug. Hundreds of bodies in a spot were thrown in on top of others.  Meanwhile loving family members were separated with no control over it at all.  And their only "crime" might be that they were jewish.  And the dictator, Hitler, in his insanity considered killing jews his right.\nI was an American in my teens living on the east coast, and I met a woman in her 20s with an accent I was unused to. She told me about being in the showers, and about the night she would have been killed in them with gas only she and her boyfriend had a chance to escape on bicycles and they did and they succeeded, and they  came to the United States and got married.  What I know, I "experienced" through her first hand description. But she was rare. Countless thousands of them never had a chance. She was jewish. Since then I have met many people,  a lot of them Germans who emmigrated to this country who insisted  Hitler wasn't so bad, and this mass slaughter did not happen. They were people who never would have been threatened with the ovens,  they were citizens of Germany and whatever they wanted me to believe they felt strongly about it.  It made Germany's fearless leader look bad,  Since then I have seen moving pictures on tv, taken from life --giant piles and thousands of these nude bodies in heaps  thrown from trucks down big slant shoots, and not acted by actors,  this was real. I have seen this repeatedly.  Even while watching this horror I have heard  Americans decide to accept the (fiction) viewpoint and insist everyone around them believe it. People can believe what they want. I value the truth, pretty or ugly.\nPeople like to fictionalize history a great deal, on many sujbjects. \nThey not only fictionalize the truth but they cite a contrived fiction of yesteryear and get multimillions to believe it for political reasons, for $$$ reasons, and aftter a time for majority reasons. And  then if you have a mind of your own appreciate it but keep your own council, unless asked for the truth.\n  That shameful example of Man's inhumanity to man is  in this case, the truth.  Don't let it be swept under a rug and don't let it happen  AGAIN\nagain.

I think that it is an ethical issue. How can we support the murder of our own young? Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for themselves and know that one of the natural outcomes of sex can be pregnancy. I wish that people who didn't want to have kids would either use birth control correctly and consistantly, or quit having sex.
