It is this same type of language I see in much of the pro-life arguments.
An objection to make different choices. Some choose abortion, some don't. It is a right to choose. It is a fundamentalist, an unhealthy position to take, trying to deny this right, on the basis of a potential moral risk of genocide (which I believe to be completely unfounded).
You're saying Anti-Semites or Racists have trouble understanding (idiots) and object to all that it is foreign (small-minded) or somehow objectionable (The word "somehow" suggests they're foolish objections). Then you said that's the same type of language you see in many pro-life arguments.


Still waiting for your response to the rest of my post, by the way.
