The recent furore over the Polish supreme court brought to mind the general question of Denazification. One of the justifications offered by PiS for the clean-out of the court is the fact that this process was not properly undertaken in the early nineteen nineties. If a general restoration were to occur in a given country what measures would be necessary? It seems essential (and many people privately agree) that on the Nuremberg principle abortionists should be prosecuted and, where appropriate, given the death sentence for their crimes. This would not exclude the possibility of commutations or pardons for those who have renounced ‘choice’ in favour of life. What is less often observed is that those who have advocated abortion need to be disqualified from holding public office and the advocacy of abortion, euthanasia etc. in future must be prosecuted as incitement to murder. The procuring of an abortion by a mother cannot coherently not be recognised as a criminal offence but given the social pressures and evidential difficulties this should not (unlike the surgical act itself) be prosecuted retrospectively. Those who have performed ‘sex-change’ operations should be prosecuted even retrospectively for GBH.

On a related note, one of the charges raised against the Nuremberg defendants was of their systematic subversion of Christianity. It is a point worth keeping in mind for any serious attempt of de-Nazification, as well as a historical account of what the contemporaries viewed as a significant factor in the spread and entrenchment of the Nazi ideology.
