Hit '180' movie and 'personhood' movement

The highly influential short movie "180," created by evangelist Ray Comfort as part of his research for a new book, "Hitler, God, and the Bible," is being used to deliver information to lawmakers in Alabama about "personhood," which may become a statewide issue.

Leaders of the group Alabama Personhood say they are giving each of the state's lawmakers a copy of "180" as part of the annual Pro-Life Legislative Day, a gathering to show support for pro-life bills in the state legislature.

The personhood campaign urges states to adopt an amendment declaring that an unborn child is a person from the moment of conception. It exploits a massive gap in the original Roe v. Wade Supreme Court opinion that originally created the "right" to abortion in the U.S.

The high court stated in 1973: "The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a person within the language and meaning of the 14th Amendment. … If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellants' case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."

Comfort has argued that very point in interviews about his book and his video, which has been watched nearly 3 million times online. Hundreds of thousands of DVDs have sold and a similar number have been given away on college campuses.

In a recent interview with prominent celebrity psychologist Carole Lieberman, Comfort explained the message of "180" and left Lieberman tongue-tied.

Those who have seen the movie or read the book know that it's a straightforward argument against abortion, comparing the mindless determination that Jews, gypsies and homosexuals in World War II were less than human and could be exterminated to contemporary America's determination that the unborn are less than human, providing a constant stream of death to feed the abortion industry.

Lieberman, who apparently had not been fully briefed on the project by her staff, launched into a discussion only to find out that abortion (she's all in favor) and evolution (she believes in it fully) were being undermined.

"I don't want to talk about Darwin. I don't want to talk about abortion," she exclaimed at one point. "This is not what was ..."

"It's what the book's about," Comfort explained to her. "Did you read the book?"

"You have a publicist. I received his press release," she said.

Comfort asked for the name of the book on which the program was focusing. She responded, "Adolf Hitler, God and the Bible."

Then, "I should be able to talk about God and the Bible," Comfort said.

Comfort explained that as part of his book project he interviewed university students on video, finding out that many of them were unaware of Hitler's extremism and evil.

He explained that when he started asking them specific questions, he was able to convince them to take another view of abortion. He asked if the students, at the point of a Nazi gun, would use a bulldozer to shovel Jews into a burial pit even if they were alive.

Most said they would refuse.

He then asked a correlating question about abortion: Did they think it's a baby in the womb, and just when is it all right to kill that baby.

The result was the sensational 30-minute documentary, "180"

"This is not good. This is not what I thought we were going to talk about," a surprised Lieberman said.

"You're censoring me," said Comfort.

Then the evangelist, who is co-host with actor Kirk Cameron of the popular TV series "The Way of the Master," started pressing Lieberman for answers to the questions he previously asked the students on the video.

"Do you think it's a baby in the womb?"

Lieberman said, "At a certain point … it isn't at the beginning."

"What point does it become a baby?"

"Well, uh, uh, you know ... I, uh, uh, I, I can't remember right now. Like five weeks … or some … there's some point," she responded.

"You really … I really don't think we should go into the abortion issue. … I think it is a woman's choice," she stated.

"I want to find out why you think that," Comfort responded, noting it's good to have discussions on areas of disagreement.

"I watched the trailer for that movie … I didn't know the movie was online. The movie has you asking who was Adolf Hitler. I had no clue that it has anything to do with abortion," Lieberman said.

When Comfort explained that many minds have been changed by additional, accurate information, she stated, "I have enough information. You're not going to change my mind."

The evangelist explained how Hitler was a great fan of Charles Darwin, who spoke of the survival of the fittest. He said it's likely that Hitler determined to kill off segments of society because he would benefit financially by confiscating homes, bank accounts, art work and other valuable resources.

The Alabama campaign is part of a state-by-state nationwide effort to encourage the adoption of personhood amendments.

Alabama volunteers said a generous supporter donated the funds for a copy of  "180"' to be used to deliver personhood information to every Alabama state lawmaker.

The organization quoted a 1983 statement by Ronald Reagan: "The real question today is not when human life begins, but, what is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law – the same right we have."

Organizers say: "A majority of Alabamians and Americans now identify themselves as pro-life, but still no state has dared to challenge head-on the so-called constitutional right to abortion discovered by Justice Harry Blackmun and the majority of the Supreme Court in Roe. But the Roe decision itself left the door open for states to protect the unborn."

Personhood Alabama is a joint project of Personhood USA and the Foundation for Moral Law, the organization set up by former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.

"Hitler, God and the Bible" is now available, autographed by Comfort and packaged with "180" video at a special low price exclusively at the WND Superstore.
