The slave owners (The Pro-Slave Moverment) argued that freeing the slaves would be a cruelity to the slaves because they could never take care of themselves...EXACTLY what the Pro-Aboration movement say's about children...NO one could take care of them! Different time same argument against LIFE! The Pro-Abortion & The Pro-Slavery are both wrong!
Do you agree?

Well, in some ways, they had a point. If slaveholders were to free all their slaves at that point, who would help the newly freed people? Many could conceivably stay on with their former masters for pay, which many DID after emancipation, but the way society was set up it would have been extremely difficult for them.
When the slaves were finally freed and the emancipation amendments were passed, blacks did indeed make their own way, but it was really difficult. In the south, they needed whatever little help the government could give them, via the Freddmen's Bureau, and other institutions. I don't envy those people, it must have SUCKED.

Are you really comparing slavery to abortion. I seriously think people have lost touch with reality.
Abortion is a choice. Slavery was forced on to people.
The Pro-Choice argument is that it is a woman's choice.
Pro-Slavery was that the slaves were savages and couldn't take care of themselves.
How can you correlate the two?
I never knew there were so many people that were misguided until I came onto these questions.

You fundie cristofacist creatinists will come up with the most convoluted correlations to defend what you have determined to be right. The two subjects are so far apart it is incredible. I really did not think that you people could think in terms as abstract as this.
Pull the rest of your head out of the lead sheep's stinking butt!!
It was the baptists and other protastant denominations that were pro-slavery. Think about church history in the south and the types of individuals that owned slaves. Then put the two together!!
It will be clear as day if you actually THINK!!!

Perhaps some idiot slave owners made those arguments, but not my family. They were landowners in North Carolina before moving to Texas in the 1820's and are on record as having slaves.
In personal records, my family through the ages did nothing but compliment the work their "slaves" did for them. One of my great-grandfathers had given the family he bought (he talks about the effort required in finding the entire family so they could be together again) some property on the other side of his land, and said he was always amazed at how they were able to maintain not only their own land, but assist him in his work as well. The two families were able to blend and work together to make life better for everyone.
In fact, they heard about the Emancipation Proclamation a few years after it was signed in 1863, and my family said everyone just shrugged and went back to work lol. The two families, black and white, worked together on the same land up until the 1950's.
So keep that information you have to yourself, do not generalize all "slave owners" together, because you don't know all of them.

Blacks took care of themselves where they were. Why wouldn't they be able to take care of themselves here? Everyone adapts to the environment. They may adapt differently, but that would be expected. Why not monitor a few americans in a boat headed for Africa. When they get there, see if they can take care of themselves. Throw a few beatings once in a while.
Pro-Slave Movement were only trying to justify their ownership. You can't undo what others have done.

Did slave owners from the 1850s also argue that you are quite possibly the most horrible debator in the world? That is quite possibly the most horrible corelation i have ever heard. Not only is it a bad corelation, but it is such a stretch, obviously meant to try and connect something awful like slavery with abortion.

Your statement makes absolutely no sense ... and it's not the "pro-abortion" movement ... it's the "pro-choice" movement. There's a HUGE difference between wanting the right to get an abortion and actively seeking to increase the number of abortions.
You need to pull your head out of your

professional-abortion human beings say that that is okay to wreck a FETUS. no longer a toddler. And definite, there are undesirable toddlers. those who've toddlers and do not provide them up for a range of of motives...guilt although, do no longer experience a similar guilt even as they're destroying their toddler in an emotional and actual way. It does take position. And in case you probably did not observe, their ought to correctly be a 6 twelve months waiting record, yet, what about older toddlers? even as the mum and father ultimately get their undesirable toddlers taken away, then those toddlers are left to foster care and team residences. i do not see everybody on those waiting lists prepared to take a danger on them. So, can we truly look after undesirable toddlers? no longer solid sufficient we do not. a toddler is somewhat one to the age of 18. regrettably those human beings on the lists want a "infant". no longer a "toddler". we do not do sufficient for those toddlers.

What an odd comparison.
A child cannot take care of it's self.
A black person being freed from slavery, can. They did.
Leave an infant to fend for it's self and see what happens.
For an argument to be taken seriously, it has to be based in fact and reason. Yours isn't based on either.

Let's see...most adults can take care of themselves, black or otherwise. Pro slavery was wrong.
Newborns cannot take care of themselves. Pro choice, not necessarily pro abortion, is right.
Not even close to same argument.
