Abortions have claimed more lives than Holocaust

Re: August 15 letter from Judy Parker “Holocaust, slavery comparable to abortion”

I wish Ms. Parker would get her facts straight before implying the abortion “holocaust” isn’t in the same ball park as the Holocaust of World War II.

Well I guess it really isn’t in the same ball park, because nearly 50 million babies have been murdered in abortions while only (comparatively speaking) 6 million Jews were killed. I believe 50 million is a bigger ball park than 6 million.
