China

We all know about the hideous Chinese forced-abortion program, where women are forcibly kidnapped by family planning thugs and aborted, even in their last trimester. Pro-choice people wholeheartedly support this program. When she was President of the National Organization for Women, Molly Yard said that We are going to have to face as China has faced the policy of controlling the size of families, and to assume that we can go on without facing this responsibility is totally irresponsible. ... I consider the Chinese government's [population control] policy among the most intelligent in the world. ... it is a policy limited to the heavily overpopulated areas and it is an attempt to feed the people of China. I find it very intelligent. China's population is so enormous that if they didn't control it, they wouldn't be able to feed their people. The Chinese government doesn't coerce people. They use education. It's very clear when you're there. You can't miss it. Even if you can't read the language, you can't miss it.1

It really comes as no surprise that the cruelest, most vicious and depraved individuals the human race has ever seen are abortionists. They are the only people on Earth who kill innocent people all day for a living. This coarsens their consciences to an unbelievable extent, as we have conclusively proven with this database. There is Americas Arch Fiend, abortionist Henry Howard Holmes, who slowly incinerated his living adult victims in a special insulated room, dissolved their bodies in acid, and sold their skeletons to medical schools. And, of course, almost everyone knows about the Nazi Angel of Death, Josef Mengele, who fled to Argentina and became an abortionist after World War II. But these horrible mass killers are mere amateurs when compared to Shiro Ishii, whose murderous cruelty was so extreme that even hard-core Nazis in the SS tried to rescue his victims!

Historians generally agree that the most depraved and cruel war crimes of all history were committed by Japans Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii in China during World War II.

Ishii was a Japanese microbiologist who headed the infamous Japanese Imperial Armys Biological Warfare Unit 731. He directed the construction of a huge compound outside the city of Harbin, China, which covered 1,500 acres (more than two square miles), and had more than 150 buildings. It was heavily guarded, and its cover story was that it was engaged in water purification work. During a five-year period, Ishiis compound killed tens of thousands of Chinese in ghastly experiments: Women were gang-raped by Ishiis troops and forced to have abortions in order to study their psychological reactions to the extreme abuse. Ishii also had his STD-infected troops rape Chinese women to see what the transmission rate was. Men and women were subjected to induced strokes, heart attacks, frostbite and hypothermia in order to test treatments. Some prisoners had their limbs frozen solid and broken off (troops tested the limbs by tapping them with their rifles; when the victims arms and legs felt like wood, they were broken off, and then the victims were thawed to study their reactions). The unit did field tests of germ warfare on Chinese prisoners of war and on civilians in nearby cities. The diseases tested included bubonic plague, cholera and anthrax. In 1942, Ishiis germ warfare specialists distributed dysentery, cholera and typhoid in Zhejiang Province in China. Nearly half a million Chinese died as a result of these experiments, which were considered tests for attacks on the United States. Unit 731 had originally planned to infest San Diego with plague-infested fleas on September 22, 1945. The unit dissected hundreds of people without anesthesia to gauge their pain tolerance. On studying one victim, Ishii noted that After infecting him, the researchers decided to cut him open to see what the disease does to a man's inside. I cut him open from the chest to the stomach and he screamed terribly and his face was all twisted in agony. He made this unimaginable sound, he was screaming so horribly. This was all in a day's work for the surgeons "

Just as present-day abortionists dehumanize their subjects, so did abortionist Ishii and his thugs. They called their thousands of victims maruta, or logs, and other terms that reduced them to mere commodities. Ishii gave a tour of Unit 731 to members of the local unit of the hard-core Nazi SS (Schtzstaffel), who were generally the most vicious and brutal members of the German Army. The Nazis were so disgusted and repulsed by the horrors they saw there that they organized to attempt to rescue as many Chinese citizens as they could.

The most horrible chapter of Ishiis saga happened at the end of World War II. As defeat seemed more and more certain in 1945, he and his men blew up as much of Unit 731 as they could in an attempt to destroy the evidence, and also slaughtered the several hundred prisoners they still held there. The worst thing of all is that the Americans, under General Douglas MacArthur, gave Ishii and his leaders complete immunity from prosecution for crimes against humanity in exchange for the data they had gathered at the expense of terrible human suffering. Thirty of the lower-ranking members of Unit 731 were put on trial, 23 were found guilty of terrible crimes against humanity and ten years later, every single one of them was free. Ishii moved to Maryland, where he continued to do research into bioweapons. He died peacefully at a ripe old age.2
