State Sen. Perry discusses morals in inaugural speech; compares abortion to the Holocaust

After placing his hand on the Bible and taking the oath of office, state Sen. Charles Perry compared what he called the “spiritual battle” brewing across the nation to the Holocaust.

God has a place in the government, Perry explained in his inaugural speech as he vividly recalled a recent trip to a concentration camp in Berlin.

“There were 10,000 people that were paraded into a medical office under the guise of a physical. As they stood with their back against the wall, they were executed with a bullet through the throat. Before they left, 10,000 people met their fate that way,” Perry said.

“Is it not the same than when our government continues to perpetuate laws that lead citizens away from God? The only difference is that the fraud of the Germans was more immediate and whereas the fraud of today’s government will not be exposed until the final days and will have eternal-lasting effects.”

“Roe v. Wade condemned 55 million innocent and defenseless souls that cried out for righteousness from a God who is just [font color=green]{speaking about abortion}[/font]— we will answer for that as a nation,” Perry said, later noting that he has made clear his stance on gay marriage.
