Kentucky GOP State Rep Claims Abortion Pill Was Used In Nazi Gas Chambers And Was “Invented By A Jew”

The Louisville Courier-Journal reports:

Kentucky Rep. Danny Bentley made comments about Jewish women and the Holocaust during a debate Wednesday over anti-abortion legislation, quickly drawing condemnation from several members of the Jewish community who raised serious concerns with what he said.

Bentley falsely said RU-486, or Mifepristone, one of two pills taken to induce abortion, was developed during World War II and was called Zyklon B, the gas that killed millions of Jews in the Holocaust. He added that “the person who developed (it) was a Jew.”
