Dubious interpretation of Brownback's use of the word 'holocaust'

Quoting the given source: "And he says the youngest voters, ages 18 to 25, are the most pro-life cohort. They were born, he says, when abortion rates were highest, so "many of them feel they're the survivors of a holocaust: one in four of their compatriots are not here.'" There's quite a difference of phrasing, claiming abortion equals The Holocaust in monstrosity and likening it to a holocaust (i.e. mass killing, massacre). The former is, as it stands in the article, a lengthening and quite unrestrained elucidation, if you will, of what Brownback actually said. Shoplifter 21:36, 19 May 2006

First, I'm moving the section to the Governor area, where it belongs. Second, I'm removing it from the lead, since I think it's trivial in the context of his entire biography, especiallysince it's fairly recent, and I doubt it'll be what he's notable for. Drorzm (talk) 21:38, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
