VA State Sen. Dick Black
On the Virginia Senate floor he compared abortion to the Holocaust:
“When I hear discussions about this, I hear very mild comments about choice and reproductive rights and things of this sort.
But I recall back to the days of Nazi Germany, there was a place called Auschwitz. And over the gates of Auschwitz was a sign, and the sign said “arbeit macht frei,” which means roughly “your labors will make you free.” People who went behind those doors never returned. Their labors didn’t make them free. And I’m reminded that we refer to our clinics as “women’s health clinics” and we talk about women’s reproductive rights and so forth.
And somehow in all of our discussion, we forget the fact that in each of these decisions lies the life of a little boy or a little girl. You know it’s quite easy –and from where we look back on history, we say “Why didn’t the Germans do something? Why didn’t they rise up? Why didn’t they take action?” But they were helpless before their government just as we are helpless before our government.”
In the past he has sought to ban abortion in all cases, called emergency contraception “baby pesticides,” and opposed making contraception accessible.
