Thread: Hitler was pro-choice

http://constitutionalistnc.tripod.co...tist/id15.html

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.

Hitler banned abortion for Aryan women, but was known to force abortion and sterilization for non-Aryan women. IOW, he was against choice.

He liked Sanger….she was craftier…..she targeted blacks and minorities…….wanted abortion legal…to get rid of those she didn't think deserved to live. She wanted a master race….and it did not include color. Just like Hitler who was pro-choice…..certainly not pro-life.

He was a self absorbed maniac with a Messia complex.

He was a dictator....the only free choice was his choice.

He starved and murdered millions...a hero he was not.

They didn't like each other. He burned her books. She contributed to keep him from power.

She helped black women control their reproduction at their request. She was against abortion.

"From 1943, the provision of abortion to "Aryan" women was threatened with the death penalty.[1][2] On the other hand, abortion was at times forced upon members of parts of society that were considered undesirable."

Ok, that's interesting. Hitler was pro-choice.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Ok. So what?

Is the OP trying to compare Hitlers regime to the pro choice movement?

Hitler also liked classical music. Does it mean all classical musicians are evil?

Fallacious argument is fallacious.
