Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is under fire from Jewish groups after a speech he gave at a pro-life event the weekend before last. In the address to the Family Research Council, the former Arkansas governor referred to the deaths of 45-50 million unborn children from abortion as a holocaust.

In the speech, he linked the issues of abortion and illegal immigration — saying the destruction of tens of millions of unborn children has left the U.S. with a worker shortage.

“Sometimes we talk about why we’re importing so many people in our work force,” Huckabee said in the speech.

“It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our work force had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973,” he explained.

I don’t see the problem here.  Is what he said not true?  While the exact number will never be known, roughly 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust.  Since 1973, when the Supreme Court wrongly decided Roe ( to which Darth Vader Ginsburg herself has admitted is bad law) over 46 million lives have been snuffed out and slaughtered.  Many had sharp objects stabbed through their heads and their bodies dismembered and sucked out of a womb with a vacuum cleaner, thrown into a pan, and dumped into an incinerator.  That sounds a lot like a Holocaust type tragedy to me.
