An anti-abortion group has been accused of “softcore Holocaust denial”, after comparing a pro-choice campaigner to Adolf Hitler.
Precious Life, based in Northern Ireland, published an image on Facebook of the Nazi dictator alongside former Alliance Party Justice Minister David Ford, with a caption claiming Ford “wants to do exactly the same to unborn babies considered to have a fatal foetal abnormality”, as Adolf Hitler did to victims of his eugenics programme.”
A CST spokesperson condemned Precious Life¹s post, saying: “People making Hitler and Nazi comparisons are deliberately using the horrors these things evoke, in order to get a little bit more publicity for their own cause. It is a deeply immoral abuse of pain and memory, usually premised on the suffering of the Holocaust, but actually many millions of non-Jews also suffered and died because of the evils of Nazism, so it should concern everyone, not just Jews.”
