Lawmaker likens abortion to Holocaust in debate
Kansas Republican Rep. Dick Jones drew a Holocaust comparison while backing a bill to ban dilation and evacuation abortions using clamps or forceps. He argued unborn life gains rights at conception and warned against framing the issue as a burden on society. Abortion-rights advocates warned the measure raises health risks and could invite malpractice suits. Julie Burkhart of Trust Women Foundation criticized illegalizing care.
