Killing Machines: Auschwitz and abortion

Having recently visited Auschwitz in Poland, I could not help myself despairing at man's inhumanity to man. To go to such lengths in order to build innumerable huts, extermination rooms and furnaces with the sole objective of executing 1,200 unwanted persons daily is beyond human understanding.

On top of that, the establishment went to even greater lengths in order to deceive everyone at home and abroad that nothing was amiss in Auschwitz or in any of the other concentration camps. In fact, the deception was so successful that some persons actually paid for their fateful last train journey. However, the Killing Machine did not stop with World War II.

Today, we have countless governments that have legislated an even more efficient killing machine: abortion. Every year 48 million unborn children never see the light of day; that equates to 130,000 every day - and that's two orders of magnitude higher. Today the deception is even more effective because societies, and worse still mothers, are deceived into believing that the world will be a better place without their children. Today mothers actually pay "doctors" to kill their children!

So governments legislate in direct conflict with God's commandment "Thou shalt not kill", and then go on to criticise and "shame" those countries that refuse to follow suit.

"The earth mourns and dries up, and the crops waste away and wither. Even the greatest people on earth waste away. The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God's instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant. Therefore, a curse consumes the earth" (Isaiah 24 vers 4-6).

We reap what we sow!

Gavin Attard,

There are many absolutes in life dear Gavin, just saying that there are none does not magically go away. That is like imposing your views on others in my dictionary. Tout le monde et folle

Mark Mifsud Bonnici: I am a vegetarian and am totally against abortion.

I am also against ignorance, so whilst you are against conservationists putting all hunters in the same barrel, it seems that you have no problem doing the same thing with others.

@Gavin Attard:

Biologically, a new human being starts at nuclear syngamy (when the process of fertilisation ends).

Now, as ever, humans feel they should discriminate between their fellow humans that were lucky enough to be born and those that aren't.

Dear John,
You are wrong when you state "In fact, the deception was so successful ".The British and US war govts at the time knew about Auschwitz,Birkenau and Monowitz.Major Jewish and Zionist organisations of the time lobbied hard for the British and US govts to bomb the said areas especially the railway lines leading to Oswiecem.This is a matter of record in recently released US documents related as to why the USAAF and RAF bomber commands failed to bomb Auschwitz.It is also a matter of record that many Jewish and Zionist organisations today blame the British and US govts of the time for the deaths of the Jews in their failure to act.

One reason given by RAF reconnaissance at the time was that testimony provided by two Jewish escapees from Auschwitz did not correspond with the aerial reconnaissance photos of the complex taken by the RAF.

Logistically speaking,Auschwitz was also out of range of allied bombers save for the 15th bomber unit of the USAAF based in Sardinia.

The irony of it all is that whilst vegetarians and animal right activists shudder at the thought of slaughtering an animal for human consumption, they see no objection in aborting their own child.

What hypocrites!!

Continued from previous:

The second being that god's existence is in itself under debate. While i have no proof that there is no divine creator, there is no proof for him either. Besides the ever infinite argument of who created the creator and so on. So while there is no proof of existence, the claims by a group of ppl to not only know he exists but know what he wants, as he speaks to them, is absolute folly. And no state in its right mind, which has the values of all its peoples at heart, in their infinite permutations could take the commandment of a god from one single religeon.

oh hold, the maltese goverment still does that... sigh...

If the child is not born, it is not alive.

If it is not alive, It has not been killed.

The debate is, when do we consider a child to be alive? And it is here my dear John that there are a rather lot of different opinions, ranging from the religious to the scientific.

As there is no absolute on this subject, then one group cannot impose its view on another. Rather the choice of abortion is one for the individual or couple. I hold that anyone who has taken the decision to abort, has not taken it lightly, and besides the perhaps egoistical reason to abort, there are other reasons, that have moral, and rational explanations for taking the decision. It remains however a deeply personal, and individual matter.

Your claim that governments legislate in direct conflict to god's commandment holds no water on two grounds,Firstly on the basis of there is no consensus on when a child is Alive, apart from the obvious birth.
