From a speech about the Jewish Holocaust by President Obama, April 23:

“It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal, used to kill; education that can enlighten, used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy that sustains modern life, used as the machinery of mass death, a ruthless, chillingly efficient system where many were responsible for the killing, but few got actual blood on their hands.”

The best science and philosophy are clear: human personhood begins at conception (a great article showing this). Thus, we are seeing a silent holocaust in our own day. Why then does our leader not come to their rescue? Read the president’s entire speech.

Thanks to Dr. Craig Carter for pointing out the incredible ironies contained in this quote.
