Nazi-era crematorium, Auschwitz
Roe-era crematorium, WichitaNot long after George Tiller was murdered, it occurred to me that his heirs might find it difficult to unload the late abortionist's property. Who, really, would want real estate and facilities used to slaughter tens of thousands of human beings? As a pro-life advocate and former museum exhibit designer, I would. Because the most appropriate use for such property is as an educational memorial to the victims of abortion. If the death camp of Auschwitz can be rehabilitated, why not the abortion mill of Wichita?
We can call it The American Holocaust Memorial and Museum.
For all their differences, Auschwitz and Wichita have something in common: ghastly facilities in which members of disenfranchised populations were processed, murdered and incinerated. But more to the point, both places convey the shared methods and madness of yesterday's Nazis and today's abortion advocates...
Wary of public reaction, Nazis tried concealing evidence of genocide behind the barbed wire of death camps; image-conscious abortion advocates lash out when photographs of disemboweled, dismembered near-term children are displayed. Nazis dehumanized their victims, denying them legal status as persons and calling them parasites; abortion advocates refuse to recognize the personhood of the unborn and call them products of conception. Nazis used the antiseptic term final solution for the slaughter of Jews; abortion advocates use reproductive freedom, family planning, women's health care, choice and other innocuous-- indeed, positive-- terms for the slaughter of children.
Just as tours of Auschwitz's horrific facilities now shed light on the reality of Germany's Nazi era, tours of Wichita's appalling abortion mill would shed light on the reality of America's Roe era. And there is no more pressing need than to teach our people, especially our youth, the terrible truth of the American holocaust.
