In order to make sure that this dead horse is completely beaten, let us take a look at a few final areas in which the left attempts, by imputation, to pin the Nazi or fascist label on the right.
Abortion
Using his expertise as an evolutionary biologist, Evergreen State College professor Bret Weinstein has made a provocative claim: that the Nazis’ main objective had a cold biological rationality to it. Simply put, they were trying to expand the space and opportunities for the German genome.
Evidence for this notion certainly manifested in Germany’s war-goal of expanding into Eastern Europe, and in their monstrous extermination practices. But they also employed more subtle and secretive methods: Abortion, contraception, and sterilization were encouraged and made easily available to Eastern Europeans, and often forced on Jews. But for German women, abortion was restricted or illegal.
Their goal was obvious: to increase the birth rate for “racially pure” German women and reduce it for Jews, Slavs, and other groups whom they deemed inferior. Their attitudes towards homosexuality and their use of eugenics also reflected these goals, as did the Lebensborn brothels we touched on in the introduction.1
It takes a particularly disingenuous reading of the Nazis’ position on abortion to associate pro-life conservatives with it in any way, yet that is exactly what the left does: See, the Nazis made abortion illegal, and conservatives want to do so too. They’re Nazis!
