Description
Abortion - The American Holocaust , Kent Kelly , 1981 Calvary Press. Abortion: The American Holocaust by Kent Kelly, published in 1980 by Calvery Press, is a pro-life religious text that argues against the legality and practice of abortion in the United States. The book's central premise and key themes include: Holocaust Analogy : Kelly uses the "holocaust" metaphor to equate the practice of abortion to historical atrocities, specifically the Nazi Holocaust. Biblical Argument : The author frames abortion as a violation of divine commands, comparing contemporary America to ancient Israel and warning of spiritual consequences for "embracing the new paganism". Christian Activism : Written for a Christian audience, the book serves as a "war manual" or mandate for social and political action to protect the "sanctity of human life". Moral & Social Critique : It criticizes government-funded abortion and the "pro-choice" movement, labeling it a form of "social genocide" that prioritizes the right to choose over the human rights of the unborn
