Snail,

Your post is in line with what I have been trying to say here:

"Having said that, I'm sorry Bill but that won't do. If you saw Group A cheerfully slaughtering Group B on the grounds that they were in some way sub-human (as has happened many times throughout World history), you would (if I have understood your posts correctly) condemn them. You might even be moved to intervene. I feel that you would not be too impressed if Group A said "If you don't like it, don't participate! And do not presume to tell others how they should behave in their own personal lives."
The anti-abortionists sincerely believe that a zygote is a human being. From that point of view they have every right, even a duty, to intervene. You can try to persuade them that they are mistaken but you can't tell them to mind their own business. "


I do NOT see a problem in giving specific examples of " Group A cheerfully slaughtering Group B on the grounds that they were in some way sub-human (as has happened many times throughout World history)". It occurred: to ignore it is just to encourage it happening again.


I REPEAT: I belive that you are mistaken: Please tell me WHEN I have called YOU a Nazi.
