11 million, actually.
I have heard estimates of about 11 million. But again, Jewish people are a minority, and we're only talking about the population in mostly Eastern Europe and parts of the North Western Europe. According to wiki there were only 9 million Jewish people in Europe before the Holocaust, and 2/3rds of them died.

That's the low estimate for overall deaths. Not just Jews.
You're confused.
I am talking about Jews in Europe, NOT deaths.
The high estimate for Jewish deaths resulting from the holocaust is 6 million. The high estimate for other than jews is 11 million, for a total of 17 million. Combat deaths are not included.
It is you that is confused. You should educate yourself on the side while you debate, again.
Then you understand the word applies to abortion. Good, hun.
you're still confused, as I was responding to YOUR statement about the total number of Jews in Europe before the Shoah...which is around 11 million.
No, it does not as the criminal code specifically says a child becomes a human being upon live birth.
222. Homicide
this issue is a big ass stretch.
holding Mitt accountable for supporting abortion because his company invested in another company who specializes in medical waste disposal is kinda like holding a funeral home accountable for the murder of a victim they buried.
The Canadian civil code. Regardless, for the sake of this particular argument, it doesn't matter when it becomes a human being or how that is defined. It is still a human, and it is killed by another human. Homicide.
So should people boycott the morgues and medical examiners who handle the remains of those killed by serial killers or other murderers?
no, a 3-day old zygote is not a human being.
it is a homo sapien sapien, yes...just as a red oak acorn is a Quercus rubra. But it is NOT a red oak tree..just as a zygote is not a human being.
Holy desperation, spinman.
A living, growing homo sapien is nothing other than a human.
Only the desperate would try to shift the topic to the messenger instead of the message. Nice try though.
a human being is a person.
zygotes are not human beings or persons.
they are simply homo sapien-sapiens with the possibility of becoming a person & a human being.
Person is subjective, and irrelevant. A human is a human.
well, I'm gonna follow CaptainCourtesy's lead on this and simply state that a 3-day old Zygote is certainly not a person.
Whether that's true or not is debatable, but has no bearing on whether or not it is a human.
The weakness of this argument is that there are no mass abortions. There are merely a great many individual abortions sought by individual women and performed by individual doctors. Mass murder means killing en masse. For example, at Nanjing, Japanese soldiers lined up Chinese prisoners by a river and then killed them all together. That was mass murder during war. The Nazis told the Jews in a concentration camp to all go in the supposed shower room for a shower. When they were all in there, the Nazis locked the door and turned on the gas, which issued into the room and killed all the Jews in there together. That is mass murder. No abortions are done en masse and no individual women get together first and go in gangs together to abortion clinics and ask doctors to perform abortions together. Get it? The statistics on abortion are not sufficient for you to talk even about mass abortions because abortions are sought and performed on an individual basis.
Your argument is fallacious on it's face because it relies on redefining words. The slippery slope previously mentioned is the same as "legal SSM will lead to legal polygamy and legal Man/beast relationships." A slippery slope is a slippery slope. You cannot know with certainty what any of this will "lead to".
I love how people make up their own definitions in a lame attempt to twist and manipulate perceptions of moral principals that have been used to develop laws.
Human reproductive cells created by the joining of human males and female can't produce anything less than a "POTENTIAL" human being. But those early developing human cells DO NOT automatically create a PERSON!
persons get rights.
potential persons...dont.
