I saw a quote in a Cellar cookie today that piqued my curiosity. It just seemed a little too perfect. I thought it might be a fake.

Quote:
"I'll put an end to the idea that a woman's body belongs to her . . . the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand."
- Adolf Hitler, _Mein Kampf_
I had never read Mein Kampf, but I went off to Google books to see if I could find the quote. I couldn't. Then I went to the full text version located at the internet archive. Couldn't find it in their version. Gutenberg project. Not there either.

It is repeated all over the web though, and appears to have been used in a Planned Parenthood pamphlet. So it may have originated there.

I think it should be deleted here unless somebody can find an original source showing Hitler really did say it.
