Holmes was at one time a leader in the anti-abortion movement in Arkansas. In 1980, he minimized concerns about the effect on rape victims of a proposed constitutional amendment banning abortion. “Concern for rape victims is a red herring because conceptions from rape occur with approximately the same frequency as snowfall in Miami,” he wrote. In 1982, he compared the abortion rights movement to the Nazis. “The pro-abortionists counsel us to respond to these problems by abandoning what little morality our society still recognizes,” he wrote. “This was attempted by one highly sophisticated, historically Christian nation in our century — Nazi Germany.” In 2003, Holmes apologized for the “strident and harsh” rhetoric of these 1980 and 1982 remarks.
