Takes a few turns and was not what I expected it to be, but very moving.

I just did some quick research - Comfort is comparing abortions to the Holocaust? Apples and oranges, I think - beyond that, even; an unworthy and weak and insulting analogy.

Still will likely give it a watch, as I (sometimes) appreciate other and opposing perspectives.

Thank you for the heads-up.
For every mistake, we must surely be learning.

The Hitler-Abortion analogy is so incredibly misleading and stupid that this video loses all credibility.
I would rather watch (gulp) Jersey Shore or Two and a Half Men.

This is the one where some self-important guy thinks he's come up with the most clever anti-abortion argument of all time and that all he has to do is tell people his analogy and suddenly everyone will realize that they've been completely wrong all along, right?

It was really fun to watch, completely biased, but fun, abortion and Holocaust has nothing to do with each other, and this guy talked into everybody to think what he thinks in the way he thinks, imposed his religious belief, and distorted people's opinions about Holocaust into abortion... but it was good to see that people thought about issues they usually think about, however, it was quite shocking to learn that most people in the didn't know who Hitler was...

That's what I first found shocking as well. When I started watching it I didn't know what it was about. I thought it was going to be about education or something based on the fact that there was what seemed like college age kids saying they didnn't know who Hitler was :fp:

The only thing that I thought was good was how it made people think about abortion in a different way. He lost me at the end with all the lying, fornicating stuff.
