Woman Behind North Dakota's Abortion Ban Hates Abortion Because Hitler

(yes the actual complete headline at the source)

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/03/north-dakota-abortion-ban/63175/#.UUOphg4Dspw.reddit

<snip>

The issues hit close to her, she said, having relatives with children born with a genetic abnormality and seeing an increase in discrimination toward individuals with Down syndrome and other genetic issues.

“It takes you back to Hitler, and we know where that went,” she said. “He started going after those with abnormalities, and I think it’s an absurdity we would go back to that kind of thing.”

This shit has become so overused that there's a logical fallacy now because of it.

Guess what?

"Aryan" women who got abortions would get a sentence of 2 years hard labor.
2nd abortion got them death.

Doctors got the death penalty.

I pointed this out to a "pro-life" guy who was invoking Hitler.
He stormed off.
