Okay I just gotta say something because the 'abortion debate' has for some reason been at the forefront of my life lately, and I don't want to rant on Facebook because there are actual people there who I actually discuss current topics with and who I don't want to continuously feel compelled to respond to my pro-choice dribblings because they are busy with real life. But today I was surfin' the net, as one does, and came across some 'pro-life' Tumblrs. And if there is one thing that gets to me about 'pro-life' lingo, it's that they constantly refer to abortion as any of these: holocaust/genocide/infanticide.
To keep it short I'm just gonna point out, FYI, that the holocaust is completely incomparable to abortion because it was the systematic extermination of all Jewish people. It specifically refers to WWII and like, even to me, not a Jew, it is offensive to compare a huge, deliberate massacre of an entire people-group who are still dealing with further political and social repercussions of the ~actual holocaust~ to something that is NOT the holocaust!!!!! Like, it's not even close.
The holocaust was, in fact, a genocide. Again, incomparable to abortion because genocide is the aim to destroy an entire race, religious group, nation, etc.
And lastly, infanticide even in it's name dispels any connection to abortion, as it is in regard to ~infants~.
Pro-choice people don't just like think all babies should die. We don't walk around hospitals with signs saying 'Don't have babies, Kill all Fetuses."
I'm so mad all the time.
Shit there are so many THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
