180 Movie: Abortion Compared to the Holocaust
Last week, after seeing a rather offensive cartoon comparing abortion to slavery, a friend of mine pointed me to the 180 Movie. As a preliminary to the suggestion to watch this video, it was discussed that abortion cannot be compared to the atrocity of slavery. While doing a lot of research, I found that it is also compared to the Holocaust. I feel that these comparisons are out of line because they trivialize the suffering of millions of people. In an attempt to understand where my friend was coming from, I decided to sit down and watch the video. And, frankly, I was enraged and felt it was a waste of 33 minutes of my life. Not only that, it was outrageous to think people could be so insensitive!
The video starts out with Ray Comfort approaching people in public asking to hear about Adolf Hitler. While I was extremely disheartened to hear that many people didn’t know who Hitler was, I wasn’t too surprised. After finding people who either didn’t know who he was or only knew “he was evil,” Comfort precedes to give people the truth that he wants them to know. He leaves out key details to understanding Nazi Germany and what lead Hitler into power. The video progresses into Comfort – once he has given his audience scintillating tidbits of the Holocaust – putting the audience into an analogy.
Imagine that you are sitting in the cab of a bulldozer. In front of the bulldozer is a pile of bodies, both alive and dead. A Nazi solider is holding a gun to your head. He directs your attention to a group of soldiers holding your family (spouse, children, etc.) at gun point. A soldier is roughly handling your small daughter or son with a pistol against their temple. S/he is crying. Their siblings are crying. There is NOTHING that your spouse (or you) can do to save them. Then the solider tells you to bury these Jews, both alive and dead. You do, as with anything, have a choice. However, the consequences are very clear and understood: If you don't, you must witness the soldiers shoot your children, spouse, mother, father, etc. After, it's your turn. Just picture the terror on your babies' faces. Soak it in and imagine how helpless you would feel. When you are fully emerged in that, answer the question: Would you bury the Jews or watch your family die? Here's the thing, that was common in Nazi Germany. It's a hard decision with no easy answer.
However, depending on your answer, Comfort then asks whether you would accept the gun offered by the soldier to shoot the Jews that are still alive. The people that answered that they would bury the Jews are the ones asked this question. They all baulk at it. If, however, you answer that you would let the soldier kill you, Comfort confronts you about abortion and why you view it is acceptable. And, to add insult to injury, he starts comparing the two. He attacks people with the sanctity of life.
If you’re going to throw out the sanctity of life, why condemn the person who wants to save their family? Why are their lives any less sanctified?
Here's another thing to think about in relation to the video. The broad sweeping comment that all people who voted Hitler into office were single handedly responsible for the deaths of 7 million people is ludicrous! Hitler was elected into office because he offered to bring them out of the desperation Germany was in after WWI. For Germany, the war never ended. WWII was just an extension of the already horrible political climate. People needed somebody to believe in and, unfortunately, Hitler was that man. In addition, Hitler did things so gradually that even his closest followers had no idea what he was doing. He was an extremely charismatic man, and he could get anyone to believe what he wanted. In fact, two politically opposite people could be listening to one of his speeches and feel he was speaking directly to them, to their ideals, etc. Another thing that a lot of people are unwilling to see or accept is that some of the Nazi soldiers were just as much victims as the Jews. Many of them were placed into situations of "do this or I kill your family in front of you." If you fear for your family, what will you do? And it was a very real threat! It can and did happen.
What happened in Nazi Germany is not cut and dry. There are a lot of mitigating factors that the video doesn't even address. He makes the comment that it is easy to not believe in a God when you're a liar, thief, etc.; however, he doesn't address the fact that it is easy to vilify people (or in his case, a whole country) rather than looking at the very real issues associated with their decisions.
Moving away from that, he addresses abortion after rape. He states that a child should not be punished for what his father did. Yes, I can accept that. (On a side note, I wonder whether he understands the concept of generational sin, paying the price for the choices Adam and Eve made in the Garden, etc.) However, why does the woman have to continue to be victimized and reminded of her rape? Does she have to continue to be punished for another person's choice? Yes, in a perfect world, this would never happen. However, in the "right-fight" quest, a lot of people are not seen.
I’ve seen it happen often today, when some new law is passed, something that is happening that people don’t agree with, etc., it is automatically compared to Hitler and Nazi Germany. Rather than looking at a thing and discussing it based on its merits, people would rather try to draw comparisons where none can be found. In addition, videos like this – while claiming to be the full, unadulterated truth because it’s from a church (therefore, God Himself) – are just as guilty of media spin doctoring. How would Comfort have approached the issue if he actually talked to a person who fully understood WWII? How would things have changed if he talked to someone with family who died in the Holocaust or a Holocaust survivor?
While doing research on this view point, I found an article that discussed GAP (The Genocide Awareness Project) coming to a college campus to preach this twisted doctrine. When the local Hillel group heard that GAP was coming, they immediately booked a Holocaust survivor to come and talk at the GAP gathering. When faced with the startling reality, GAP was upset and left. They were not interested in hearing what the Holocaust was truly about. They were more concerned about their new found way to brow beat people into believing their agenda. In addition, one thing a lot of the supporters of the comparison don’t mention is that survivors of the Holocaust and many Jews find this extremely offensive.
Here’s my concession, using the Holocaust and slavery as an illustration of the power of dangerous thinking is valid. Both slavery and the Holocaust justified their actions with the argument that certain people groups were not human. In some cases, abortion advocates are using the same argument. Where can this continued argument lead? Are we willing to follow it through and see if it turns out better for us than it did for the African Americans or the Jews?
That being said, comparing abortion to the Holocaust or slavery trivializes the suffering, torture, murder, mutilation, rape, etc. of millions of people. If you want to argue about whether abortion is right or wrong, take the issue on its own merit (using science, medical studies, etc.) rather than finding something “bigger” and “badder” to compare it to in an attempt to bully people into agreeing with you. In addition, read a history book and do research about issues to form your own opinion instead of watching or listening to spin doctored propagandist bullshit.

I've been in contact with the husky rescue, but I honestly feel as though they are just putting me off to say "no". On Saturday around 6:30am, I get an e-mail stating that they cannot place a dog with us unless Juneau is fixed. Since we were planning on getting her fixed, I e-mailed the lady back right away and said I would call the vet on Monday to set up an appointment. She finally replied to tell me she was busy and would review my application again on Sunday evening and e-mail me first thing Monday morning. Nothing waiting in my inbox as of 9:30am. So I called the vet, set up an appointment for next week, and e-mailed the lady back with the info. Still no response. I'm getting annoyed!
We put up the temporary fence yesterday afternoon. Juneau is not thrilled about it. We might have to add another layer, though. She seems almost desperate enough to try and get over the top. Since it is about 4-ft, I'm sure she could if she really, really wanted to. I'm hoping this might keep the neighbor from feeding her, but after she started yelping at the FedEx guy when he dropped a package off next door, I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
All this waiting is just making me antsy and anxious! I wish hubby would finally get home, so we can find food. That might help relieve some of this nervousness.

Keeping Busy
This week has just been busy and somewhat chaotic. Nearing the end of it, I feel like some sort of cleaning maven, which has been uber exciting! However, I'm also a little upset.
After being dicked around for 2+ months, I finally found out some news concerning my background check with dispatch and whether I'll get the job. Even though they really want me, they drug their feet for too long and their allotted money disappeared at the end of their fiscal year. If they had hire me before this month, they would have had the money to hire me. Considering that my polygraph was done August 2, I really don't see any reason why they couldn't have gotten their act together to hire me. Even though it is nice hearing that they desperately wanted to hire me and I passed the background check with flying colours, it makes me incensed to know that it was due to their ineptness that I wasn't hired. However, I was told that if I wanted to stay on the list, when the money became available, I would be an instant hire. So, after sitting on my thumbs for 2+ months waiting on them, I have to start putting out resumes again *sigh* Here's hoping everything works out and the money comes in.
While waiting for all of this to finally come down the line and hear the news, I've been concentrating on cleaning the house. It feels as though hubby and I spend out lives living in squalor! I have tons of books to read, but I was just getting bored of sitting around on the couch all day. If I have all this time to waste, why don't I do something useful? Needless to say, this week has been a cleaning adventure! It is amazing how much I've gotten done, and I have given myself several pats on the back ^_~ We also were able to come up with a chores list! w00t!
After a lot of thought, the hubby and I decided that we want to adopt another dog. Even though I play with Juneau and he walks her everyday, she just seems to be missing something. She is also pretty bored. We decided that she might really do well with another dog. After spending a lot of time talking to people on a Siberian Husky community, we learned that Sibes do a lot better with Sibe companionship. With that in mind, we found a pretty close Sibe rescue center. I just filled out the application this afternoon. All I'm waiting on is a phone call and a home visit! That means that hubby is going to weed whack the backyard. And we already have plans to fence off the hut tub on Saturday. With the neighbor-feeding episode and Juneau balancing on the hot tub to look over the 6-ft fence, we've decided it is a better idea to just fence it off. Plus, adding a new Sibe might teach her to actually attempt to jump over it! Yikes!!
*sigh* Now I have to convince myself to actually get off my ass and get back into maven-mode. There are still some hot areas I need to work on, but I have this overwhelming desire to just be lazy!

Life So Far
This past month has been emotional turmoil. After a lot of prayer and build up, I was not hired at the police department. Coming out of the interview, I felt as if it did not go well. Obviously, I was right. I don't think it was necessarily me; however, I think it was based completely on the interview.
I broke down on Monday night. I just sat on the couch weeping about looking for work for 6 mo, only 2 interviews, seemingly unanswered prayers, and so on. Juneau tried to curl up into my lap, so she was really helpful. Hubby reminded me of our amazing brush with death and reminded me that God does have a plan. But with a fast approaching deadline for my loan repayment (of close to $600/mo), it is hard to see a silver lining.
After applying for a handful of jobs this morning, I got a call from dispatch. They scheduled an interview for the 27th at 3pm. I've spend the last few hours researching proper interview answers, common dispatcher questions, the map and reading comprehension test, etc. My brain is full. But, you know what, I am feeling empowered! They want me, they just haven't figured it out yet ^_~
In other news, I was approached by an author to read an review her book for a book blog tour in February and March. It is an awesome opportunity!
Maybe things are picking up!

Job Interview
My dress clothes are cleaned, my legs are shaved, and my skin is a lot better than it has been. I have my interview this afternoon with the police department. I'm really, really nervous! Everyone is convinced that it is a good sign getting the interview, but . . . Dammit, I just need a job! *sigh* I need to just trust God.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Random Update
Sadly, my Batman Arkham Asylum figures have now been backordered until March. When pre-ordered them in August, they were scheduled for release for this month. Hubby moved my saved up allowance money into the account to cover the coast at the beginning of the month. When I hadn't heard anything from them, I got online to look at my order. I read it online, but I had to call them. Yes, sadly, they have been delayed until March. *sigh* I was really looking forward to putting them on my figure shelves. Another couple of months dreaming about it, I suppose.
Even though that was a disappointment, I used some of my saved up allowance and bought these shoes!! They ROCK!!! I've been eyeballing a pair of similar shoes @ Tuk Shoes w/ kitties on the toe instead, but I never got around to buying them. But these little beauties kept calling to me! So . . . yeah

Food For Thought
My husband received an interesting e-mail from one of the many communities he follows. I thought I would share. Anyone with a huge guilt complex -- like me -- will find this humorous.
"Word on the "street" is that the "load" on guilt genes is much heavier than on other genetic structures. When guilt genes come into play, the messages between RNA & DNA are things that can really bog a person down, agitate us, make us sluggish & pissy & feeling lousy. It's like a genetic McDonald's "Supersize Me" too many times, leaving one feeling simply terrible. Research also indicates that the Irish, Jewish & Italian guilt loads are much, much heavier, and the 2nd tier heaviest are Scandinavian Protestant. Of course, the mRNA research is still new, so more discoveries are to come & I am sure the guilt . Of course, one of the main researchers in the messenger RNA (mRNA) & DNA field is Jewish & has a high number of Jewish, Scandinavian & Irish-American researchers in his lab. One of their partnering labs doing RNA research is manned by an Italian-American. I am sure that future research may elicit good clues as to how to cope w/the guilt, such as drinking *before* someone cries, so that you're well-prepared & your RNA & DNA can just relax"
Happy New Year!
Well, 2010 is over. For the first time in a long line of bad years, I am not heading into 2011 in a tailspin. For reflection purposes, I decided to fill out a meme for 2010.
I hope you guys have a wonderful new year :)

- No one.
14. Where did most of your money go?
- House payment and bills!

16. What song will always remind you of 2010?
- I'm not sure. I think metal in general will remind me of 2010. It was the music I played on the student radio station. Through that, I became closer to the genre and opened a lot of doors to new and awesome artists.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? In some ways, I am both.
b) thinner or fatter? Sadly, fatter :(

36. Who was the best new person you met?

- "If you’re a freak like me, Wave your flag! If you’re a freak like me, Get off your ass! It’s our time now, To let it all hang out!" I am a recovering English major, closet bibliophile, breve addicted, zombie lover with a rockabilly and heavy metal fetish.
