Mengele comparison apt
Diane Link (Aug. 30) and Pete Scobby (Sept. 1) failed to put conservatives in their place. Link insists Rep. Matt Shea is “so far off base” comparing Josef Mengele with America’s abortionists that he has no credibility. But the immoral equivalency between Mengele and our abortion industry is irrefutable.
Debaters often turn to Wikipedia. Read the article on Mengele. Have a rational mind? See any difference between that monster and today’s abortionists, particularly considering the recent Planned Parenthood revelations?
But Link is right in this: Mengele’s crimes never came to the stature of America’s 50 million-plus deaths. He didn’t have the time or resources. She’s right: There is no comparison. And any scientific advancement arguments are barbaric.
Likewise, a rational mind reads the Fourth Amendment and sees no right to an abortion (the basis for the court ruling). Scobby obfuscates. Gall bladders don’t reproduce people and, like in-vitro, the Bible says nothing about his free speech or government-protected infanticide being acceptable.
The Bible does say plenty on the blessing of children and raising them right, including on matters sexual.
