I am impressed, and it is very clever of you to use such a time tested method to minimize the people being terminated.
In the establishment of Nazi ideology and the practice of its principles, Hitler drew upon an old, extensive and specific genre of animalizing language. Hitler's regime skillfully employed contemporary and diverse modes of discourse to dehumanize and devastate the Jewish people. By juxtaposing traditional anti-Semitic beliefs with ideals of Aryan superiority, the Nazis were able to expand and strengthen pre-existing anti-Semitism whilst reaffirming Germany as the ultimate example of evolutionary progression. Integral to Hitler's success was the use of animal imagery and its respective connotations, associations and evocations.
The Jews were described as dirty, disease-ridden rats: weak, despoiling animals that needed to be exterminated and bloodsucking parasites that presented an imminent threat to German bloodlines, culture, morality and economy. These images all stirred feelings of disgust, abhorrence and fear especially when linked to ideas of unpredictable and overwhelming plagues and swarms.
Hitler utilized the ascribed authority of scientific and pseudo-scientific theories to reinforce a sense of legitimacy and add a compelling rationality to Nazi ideology. Modern media were efficiently
When placed within multiple modes of discourse, images of animalism became increasingly pervasive and the dehumanization of the Jews was well underway.
When the Nazis described Jews as Untermenschen, or subhumans, they didn't mean it metaphorically, They didn't mean they were like subhumans. They meant they were literally subhuman.
So of it was good enough for Hitler, it should be good enough for progressive Americans.

Look Phil, while I am certainly aware of Nazi atrocities, I resent your attempt to pervert my argument in favor of being fair to not only babies but mothers as well. I am not going to debate this further with one who is obviously a fucking close minded right wing religious zealot. I very plainly laid out my doctrine of fairness. Before you go throwing your tattered bible at me, go back and read it. Every word, several times until, if ever, you understand it.
I am not a baby killer but you do not hold that a woman, to a point anyway, has a right to the destiny of her own body. People like you make me puke. Self righteous idiots whose source of reasoning comes from a book of fairytales. Your philosophy of if this bitch got a load dumped in her she has no right to abort, is sickening and enslaving.
Join the KKK. It would seem appropriate for you to do so. Better yet convert to Islam. They hold all women of all ages as chatel.
