19 Kids and Counting: Jessa Duggar Criticized for Comparing Holocaust to Abortion
"19 Kids and Counting" reality television star Jessa Duggar had recently visited a Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. She posted her thoughts on Instagram, comparing the World War II tragedy with abortion. Her thoughts were harshly criticized by her detractors.
She posted a photo on Instagram and the caption read, "I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today… very sobering. Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights – their right to life. One human destroying the life of another deemed 'less than human.'"
"Racism, stemming from the evolutionary idea that man came from something less than human; that some people groups are 'more evolved' and others 'less evolved.' A denying that our Creator – GOD – made us human from the beginning, all of ONE BLOOD and ONE RACE, descendants of Adam," the caption continued.

She then quoted Proverbs 24:10-12 and added, "May we never sit idly by and allow such an atrocity to happen again. Not this generation. We must be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS. #ProLife."
Her Instagram followers had slammed her "ProLife" statements by commenting, "Please walk through the holocaust museum again because that is not at all what the holocaust was about. Have some respect for the children and grandchildren of survivors."
Others wrote, "The fact that she just compared the genocide of hundreds of thousands to terminating a pregnancy is actually disgusting."
This isn't the first time that she was slammed for her controversial posts on Instagram. Last week, she posted a rant about atheism that received similar reactions from followers.
