Similarly, [8] and [2] also report that Charlie Kirk compared abortion to the Holocaust, with [2] specifically stating that he believed abortion is nearly eight times worse than the Holocaust due to the number of babies terminated [2]. However, not all sources provide a direct comparison between abortion and the Holocaust, with [3] and sources from [4], [5], and [6] not mentioning such a comparison [3] [4] [5] [6]. Key points from these analyses include Charlie Kirk's strong opposition to abortion, including in cases of rape, as noted by [7] and [6] [7] [6].
