At the risk of angering many people, I feel compelled today to take the gloves off against professed Christians who vote pro-choice. Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Of the 6 million Jews exterminated during the Holocaust, more than a million were executed at Auschwitz. How could such an unimaginable thing have occurred in the civilized world of the 20th century? The answer is found in a ruling of the German Supreme Court. In 1936, the German Supreme Court paved the way for the Holocaust and the extermination of 6 million Jews by ruling that Jews were not to be legally recognized as persons. Instead, Jewish people were viewed by the German government as “sub-humans” or, as Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, parasites in the body of other peoples.

 

Are you aware of the fact that many of the most heinous crimes against humanity in all of history have been made possible by court rulings that denied personhood to those being victimized. For instance, the Supreme Court’s 1857 Dred Scott Decision, which justified the institution of slavery in these United States, did so by ruling that slaves were only 3/5ths human. Therefore, the court ruled that slaves could be legally classified as property rather than persons, as well as legally bought and sold by their owners.

 

In its most infamous decision ever, its 1973 Roe v. Wade Decision, the United States Supreme Court justified and made possible the unspeakable inhumanity of abortion on demand by dehumanizing the unborn child. What better way to disguise the inhumanity of its Roe v. Wade decision than for the court to claim that the coming casualties of its ruling should not be recognized as human beings? Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Harry Blackman decreed: “The word ‛person’ as used in the 14th amendment [the amendment that forbids depriving any person of their right to life, liberty and property] does not include the unborn. The unborn have never been recognized in the law as persons in the whole sense.” Therefore, Blackmum concluded, “a fetus is not a person but only potential [human] life.” 

 

In light of us being appalled at the 6 million Jews exterminated by Nazis during World War II, how do you explain our apathy over 56 million babies being aborted in America since 1973? The mass murder of Jews by Nazis over a period of 8 years actually pales in comparison to the mass extermination of unborn children over the past 42 years in America. Still, the “American Holocaust” continues, with no end in sight. As Auschwitz once was to the Jews, so is the womb of a mother to a baby in today’s America; it is the most dangerous place a baby can be!

 

Following the daring kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann by Israeli undercover agents in 1960, Eichmann, “the butcher of Auschwitz,” was transported from South America to Israel. There, he was put on trial for his unspeakable crimes against humanity. A string of concentration camp survivors were called as witnesses against this man who had personally executed a number of Jews and overseen the slaughter of hundreds of thousands.

 

One of the witnesses, Yehiel Dinur, collapsed in uncontrollable sobbing as soon as he entered the courtroom and caught sight of the man in the bulletproof glass booth. When asked later about the reason for his collapse, Dinur explained that Eichmann was not a monster as he had expected, but an ordinary human being. Thus, Dinur explained, “I was afraid about myself. I saw that I am capable to do this…exactly like he.” Dinur concluded with a shocking and sobering observation, “Eichmann is in all of us.”

 

It is truly unconscionable to me how any professed believer in Jesus Christ can fail to be appalled at the “American Holocaust,” better known as abortion on demand. Furthermore, I find it inexplicable how anyone within whom Christ lives in the person of the Holy Spirit can be supportive of pro-choice candidates for elected office. If you ask me, such a person has more Eichmann in them than they do Jesus.
