Educate yourself, maybe learn to read too because that is helpful in learning.
its a moral false equivalence, many people have written papers on it
YOU need to educate yourself

In point of fact, a systematic and “legalized” murdering of the disabled has existed only under the Nazis, and they, simultaneously,
punished abortion severely. In countries in which abortion has
been liberalized, the disabled and the elderly and marginalized
groups are generally treated with respect. There is no indication
that abortion has or ever had anything to do with the killing of
human beings.

Meanwhile, however, the very centrality of (what we can retrospectively see as problematic) assumptions about disability-as-tragedy
to the success of abortion liberalization in Western Europe in the
1960s-1970s has turned out to have major negative implications for
abortion rights more generally in the twenty-fi rst-century present.
This is because right-wing NGOs (an understudied but important
phenomenon) and other antiabortion groups in Western Europe —
and now also with increasing alacrity and creativity in postcommunist Eastern Europe — have seized on the tactic of presenting their
opposition to abortion as a major advance for disability rights. This
right-wing disability rights strategy is arguably the biggest challenge
facing defenders of abortion access in Europe today (and it has also
made inroads now in at least four U.S. states).4
All of this led me to
wonder how it happened that the radical disability-rights movement,
especially in Germany, which had grown out of the New Left of the
1970s, ended up deciding to be passionately opposed to abortion
on grounds of fetal anomaly — even though, as late as 1986, radical
“cripple” activists had rejected antiabortion activists’ overtures.
this last paragraph lays out exactly the kind of duplicitous, disingenuous arguing youre doing right now !
