Never use the Holocaust to justify a Pro-Life stance. It is a slap in the face to all who lived through and have been affected by Hitler's Final Solution. Moreover, please do not use the Hillel website to justify the argument you are making that is full of holes and ramblings.
I will not get into why abortion IS a woman's choice, but I will simply say that if a woman is denied the right to choose what happens to her body, what happens to HER rights? The baby may or may not be "alive" but it has not been born, and does not have the same rights as the woman. Things happen. Condoms break, women are raped, contraception fails. People who take responsible measures to prevent pregnancy often find themselves in this situation. Who are we to punish them for an accident? But not all pregnancies are accidents-- some are the product of negligence. We cannot however pick and choose who has a right to an abortion.
That said, do not justify your argument with examples of genocide and prejudice. It is a sophomoric move, and it puts your integrity as a writer into question. Look elsewhere.
