TO THE EDITOR:
All of my grandparents are recognized by the German government as Holocaust survivors.
I do not wish to discuss my personal opinion on abortion, but I was outraged as I saw the images by the Wilson Library steps comparing abortion to genocide.
As I walked past the display, all I could think about were the stories about my grandparents and my other family members.
In particular, an image of the Holocaust is displayed as part of the demonstration and is adorned with a Nazi symbol and a yellow Jude patch.
The Holocaust was a systematic killing based on the religion which also extended to the killing of political dissenters and other minority groups.
The definition of genocide in the Dictionary is “the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group” and “the policy of deliberately killing a nationality or ethnic group.”
Last time I checked, the government is currently not forcing women of any particular religions, cultures, or nationalities to have abortions.
Abortion simply does not fall under the category of genocide.
