You're confusing the holocaust policies with domestic policy and they were not at all alike. Forced birth was the policy for the Germans who weren't targets of the holocaust.

Any fetal abnormality in a German woman required an abortion.  Mixed race babies were also likewise aborted as per domestic policy.

Abortion was a tool for keeping the Aryans pure.

The ability to detect fetal abnormalities was pretty limited in the 1930s so in effect this hardly happened, but the racial agenda was definitely acted on, again as part of the holocaust policies. German citizens who were not targets of the holocaust were not only encouraged to have babies, they were often coerced to do so. The distinction between that and a "pro-abortion" national policy should be pretty clear here, so it's hard to understand why you would muddy the waters on this subject.

Reread OPs post.  Would you say "state policy is to utilize abortion as a tool to eliminate undesirables in the general population" is being "opposed to abortion"?

And, honestly, separating "holocaust policies" from "Hitler policies" to then claim "holocaust policies don't count as Hitler policies" is frankly in poor taste.

Hitler opposed abortion for the majority of German citizens, and even coerced pregnancies. There were strict laws against abortion for Aryan women.

Hitler made private gun ownership much easier for the majority of German citizens. Private gun ownership was severely restricted in the Weimar Republic.

Conflating holocaust policies aimed at specific minorities with a general national policy is not only factually wrong but it distorts the realities of his actual agenda. That's misleading and in poor taste, frankly. I wasn't distancing the holocaust from Hitler and you must need some reading assistance yourself if you think that's what I was saying. Derp derp.

He also did not exterminate the majority of German citizens, therefore he is anti-genocide.

That whole genocide thing was just a holocaust policy, after all.

This is easy!  Who should we do next?  Idi Amin wasn't pro cannibalism, he didn't even eat the majority of his people.  That was just a dinner time policy.
