“Volksverhetzung†coming soon to America? Pro-lifers = Holocaust deniers
Posted on June 26, 2007
Don’t think it can’t happen here. With American judges relying more on foreign law (yeah, yeah, “instructive, but not binding,” suuuuuuure) when that pesky US Constitution just doesn’t lend its support for the implementation radical Leftist agenda. The ACLU itself has been a proud advocate of bans on pro-life speech. Additionally, it is on record, through its execrable 2003 International Civil Liberties Report taking the position that,
“It is clear that we can no longer count on the Constitution alone to protect fundamental freedoms in the United States.”
Sounds like a perfect recipe to create something like the hideous attack on free speech and religious liberty that regularly occurs among “our betters” in “enlightened” Europe.
Brussels Journal: Secularist Europe Silences Pro-Lifers and Creationists
Last week, a German court sentenced a 55-year old Lutheran pastor to one year in jail for “Volksverhetzung†(incitement of the people) because he compared the killing of the unborn in contemporary Germany to the holocaust. Next week, the Council of Europe is going to vote on a resolution imposing Darwinism as Europe’s official ideology. The European governments are asked to fight the expression of creationist opinions, such as young earth and intelligent design theories. According to the Council of Europe these theories are “undemocratic†and “a threat to human rights.â€
Without legalized abortion the number of German children would increase annually by at least 150,000 – which is the number of legal abortions in birth dearth Germany. Pastor Johannes Lerle compared the killing of the unborn to the killing of the Jews in Auschwitz during the Second World War. On 14 June, a court in Erlangen ruled that, in doing so, the pastor had “incited the people†because his statement was a denial of the holocaust of the Jews in Nazi-Germany. Hence, Herr Lerle was sentenced to one year in jail. Earlier, he had already spent eight months in jail for calling abortionists “professional killers†– an allegation which the court ruled to be slanderous because, according to the court, the unborn are not humans.
Interesting…I guess we could get PETA locked up for “Holocaust on Your Plate.” Maybe that’s not so bad…just kidding.

Lerle was not sentenced for comparing abortion to the Holocaust. His conviction had nothing at all to do with abortion; he was convicted for denying the Holocaust, period.
His writings, are, by the way, viciously antisemitic, attacking “Jews” (whom he consistently places between inverted commas) for the ‘murder’ of Jesus, conspiring with Romans to throw Christians to the lions, duping America via the ‘World-Jewry-controlled’ media into fighting Hitler instead of Stalin, and even starting the Iran-Iraq war.
This site is pretty nutty, but I’m disturbed you defend a rabid antisemite like Lerle.
