Hitler and Abortion

Hitler and Abortion

When the Nazis came to power in 1933 one of the first acts Hitler did was to legalize abortion. By 1935 Germany with 65 million people was the place where over 500,000 abortions were being performed each year. Although Hitler and his government encourged Aryan women to produce a lot of children, he left the matter of abortion and all its facets in the hands of a decidely pro- abortion medical establishment. Even in the midst of Nazi propaganda aimed at increasing the Aryan population, scores of Aryan women still chose to abort their unborn children. The medical publication Deutsches Aerzleblatt reported the abortions in Germany each year reached a half-million.

Further, a Nazi decree of October 19, 1941 established abortion on demand as the official policy of Poland. Hitler, however, expressed dissatisfaction with this policy. Abortion, he believed, should NOT be limited to Poland. He therefore ordered that abortion be expanded to all populations under the control of the "Ministry of the Occupied Territories of the East."

On July 22, 1942, the Fuhrer exhibited a highly positive attitude towards abortion as an indispensable method of dealing with the non-German populations in countries under Nazi control. "In view of the large families of the native populations," he asserted, "it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible." Hitler also personally announced that he "would personally shoot" any "such idiot" who "tried to put into practice such an order (forbidding abortion) in the occupied Eastern territories.

Despite contemporary attempts to characterize Hitler as opposed to abortion, the historical evidence clearly and overwhelmingly supports only one possible conclusion: Hitler and his regime were adamantly pro-abortion. To depict Hitler as anti-abortion is a ludicrous as calling him anti-genocide or pro- Jewish. Both Hitler and his government had little regard for human life perceived as subpar, whether born or preborn.

"Questions

1. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why didn't he demand that Germany's strong law protective of human life before birth (enacted in 1871) be ratained?

2. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why did he leave the matter of abortion in the hands of the most vociferous pro-abortion physicians and medical organizations in Germany?

3. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why did he permit the establishment of guidelines and procedures for legal abortion in close conformity to those developed by the Berlin Chamber of Physicians, a prominent advocate of permisssive abortion under the guise of health?

4. If the Nazi government had such restrictive laws on abortion, why were there at least half-a-million abortions performed annually in Germany?

5. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why did he say that 'in view of the large families of native population it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible'?

6. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why did he order that abortion on demand be instituted as the prevailing policy for all countries under Nazi domination?

7. If Hitler was opposed to abortion, why did he threaten to shoot anyone who attempted to forbid abortions in Nazi occupied areas?

8. If the Nazi government was opposed to abortion, why did it issue an endless series of decrees legalizing the destruction of the unborn throughout the Eastern territories?" At risk of stating the obvious, some (perhaps, many) of the aborted were JEWS.

Right now..abortion is one of the least of our problems. Although to stop it would be a step in the right direction.

Initially, the Right Reverend Jesse Jackson came out against abortion as a “whitie plot” of genocide of black babies, since many more black babies are murdered than whites. But Rev Jackson was re-programmed by his more intelligent (i.e., programmed politically correct) Democratic white counterparts and the Rev Jackson saw the light!

I've been tempted to change my tagline to: If I didn't know better I'd swear that Hitler has been released from Hell and was given the body of The Marxist.

Abortion IS one of the Country’s greatest problems.



To: DBCJR

Actually abortion was a “white plot”. The one thing Jackson got right.

This is not entirely true... Hitler initially outlawed abortion in favor of eugenics and sterilization. Though, he ultimately gave in and allowed abortion for Slavic women for the systemic extermination of inferior genetics. Just for $h!ts and giggles: Jews killed by Hitler according to the Red Cross: 3 Million Babies thrown into garbage dumpsters in the United States since Roe v. Wade: 50 Million

A deep seated root of the cause of our problems. Tommorrow our problem is the total collapse of the economy. The death spiral is here. But you are correct. The Founders never could of anticipated it or they would have outlawed it in no uncertain terms. I am with ya. They expected more of us.



To: doug from upland

I think abortion is this nation’s greatest problem, stemming from other problems that kill nations.

A heartless, godless monster supported abortion...whooda thunk it.

>> A deep seated root of the cause of our problems... Indeed. If the Country doesn’t care about the investments in the womb, why would it care about the investments that sustain its financial viability?

Lets not forget what Hitler did to the kids that were handicapped or had some mental problems in government run hospitals..

Doctors starved them to death.

Actually abortion was a white plot. The one thing Jackson got right. Until whitey Democrats re-programmed him to political correctness. Now he is stepping to whitey’s tune. Remember when N.O.W. President Ireland first spoke out about Slick Willie’s sexual harrassment exploiting Monica? She got re-programmed overnight.

I disagree. There are so many way in which I can see the US now “reaping the whirlwind” set in motion with Roe. I’m not going to go into them right now, though, because I have food to prepare for my children.
