Abortion/Holocaust comparison offensive

I would like to express my disapproval of the anti-abortion demonstration in front of the Forum Monday.

I believe in the freedom our country gives for peaceful demonstration, but to see abortion being compared the Holocaust disgusts me.

Obviously, these demonstrators do not understand what the Holocaust was. It was the genocide of over 6 million innocent people.

Abortion is a woman's right to make a personal choice.

Neither are related or should be compared in ANY way. As a Jew, I am deeply insulted that they would use the deaths of my ancestors as an analogy of the Holocaust and abortion.

I just hope the demonstrators read this and think up a better way to convey their message.
