The head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales has likened abortion to
the Holocaust.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor told a newspaper that abortion was like
eugenics practised by the Nazis.


He compared the six million foetuses terminated since the Abortion Act to
the six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany.

The Cardinal had previously praised Tory leader Michael Howard after he
indicated he favoured reducing the limit on abortions from the 24th week of
pregnancy to the 20th week.

However, he said he was not telling Catholics which party to support.

In an article for the Sunday Telegraph, he condemned "(the) terrible truth
that it is the strong who decide the fate of the weak".

He wrote: "Human beings therefore become instruments of other human beings.
That way lies eugenics, and we know from German history where that leads.

"We are already on that road: for what else is the termination of six
million lives in the womb since the Abortion Act was introduced, and embryo
selection on the basis of gender and genes?"

The cleric said he was not trying to tell politicians what they should be.

His remarks came after a report earlier this week by the Commons' Science
and Technology Select Committee, which called for parents to be given the
right to choose their baby's sex - and bitterly divided the influential
group of MPs.
