You should know by now that you cannot silence the pro-life message. Hitler tried to do the same with the slaughter of the Jews, guess who won in the end.

Hitler also outlawed abortion, thus silencing the pro choice message in favor of your pro tyranny message.
But guess who won in the end?
"you cannot silence the pro-life message. Hitler tried to do the same with the slaughter of the Jews"
Yeah! Because embryos that don't even have a consciousness yet and people who were born years ago are EXACTLY the same thing. [/mega-sarcasm]
lol, no. However, it is probably inevitable that the unborn will eventually be attributed normal human rights - that's just how humanity has advanced these things over time, gradually extending rights to the poor/lower classes, racial minorities, women, children, disabled etc. No reason to think progress will just stop.
@Warren McIntosh: The difference being that the lower classes and the minorities possess demonstrable intelligence and a life that isn't dependent on someone else providing literally everything for them.
Also, the very existance of a fetus is an imposition on a person's rights, by occupying their body and partaking of its nutrients, frequently without the consent of the person in question. Thus I seriously doubt that "the unborn" are ever going to be afforded the rights we afford a cat.

"Hitler tried to do the same with the slaughter of the Jews..."
Those Jews were already born . Big difference, that.

While I disagree with that assessment, it's ultimately irrelevant. Yes, you read me correctly.
Even if one were to consider a fetus legally to be the equal of an actual (that is, already-born) person, women would still have the right to have abortions. No person has the right to make use of any other person's body, either in whole or in part, without the other person's consent--even when failure to obtain such use would surely result in death . This is why people aren't forced to donate their organs to others who badly need them, not even if the potential donors have recently died. Outlawing abortion would not only give potential people greater rights than actual people, but the actual people in question would then have less bodily autonomy than corpses .
Hitler banned abortion too. The Jews (and The Allies in general) won in the end and Hitler used his head for target practice.
Your example, metaphor and everything is misguided and stupid. Movies like El Topo and Zardoz make more sense than that.
Guess who won in the end...
*Ahem* The score was 6,000,000 : 1.
Just sayin'.
Didn't they only really find out about the concentration camps close to the wars end when they physically found some? that would indicate had the nazi's won, they likely would have gotten away with silencing it, so your point isn't that good really.
besides, on one wants to silence your movement, we just want you to stop ruling our bodies from afar.
If you're a male, shut up. If you're a female, go volunteer to be an IVF brood mare for someone who can't carry to term, then we'll talk about your, "pro-life" stance.
Your handlers are jerking you around by your overblown imagination and your deliberately amped-up sensibilities.
The best people for undermining the anti-abortion message is anti-abortionists themselves.
Hitler was an anti-abortionist, abortion was illegal under the Third Reich.
Hitler didn't have to silence people over his slaughter of the Jews. There were 3 types of people in Germany. The people who knew about it and supported it, the people who knew about about it and ignored it/kept their mouth shut and the people who didn't know anything about it. As it turns out "Transparency" doesn't rank very high on a Fascist dictators "to do" list.
Was it Stalin ?
It was, wasn't it ?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
