So people who are pro-abortion rights are as much murderers as the guys who supported the final solution? He’s drawing a comparison of abortion to state sanctioned genocide. If you think he’s not projecting Hitler-like qualities on people who are pro-abortion, you’re gullible.

It wasn’t debunked. It was asserted. Very different.

Which is saying, that people that support abortion support murder. Which, as a tangent, is wrong, since murder is illegal killing.  
Compare that to saying that the GOP is driven by misogyny. That’s a fact for a depressingly large portion of the GOP. Legitimate rape, women should stay in the home, women should just bargain better instead of getting equal pay by law, and so on. These are elected officials and those running for office, not just yokels at the K-mart. Der was incorrect in degree, not in substance. The GOP does have a lot of misogyny. Certainly not all of them, but enough that it’s sickening.
