I vehemently disagree. First of all, slave owners were doing it for their own advances. Free labor, etc. It was an entirely different mindset. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-CHOICE. I think every woman should have a choice as to whether she carries the fetus to term. It's a religious debate when life starts in the womb. I personally feel that until the fetus is viable outside the womb, it is not a person. I have never heard of pro-choice people saying unwanted babies can't be cared for or aren't human beings. It's rather about choices - hence pro-choice. A woman should have a right to choose if she wants her body to be affected for 9 months and then give up the child she carried. If it's not financially or socially possible to have a child, and she doesn't want to wonder every day where her child is and how it's doing, she shoul dhave the right to abort the fetus. That's not a debate on whether the cluster of cells in her uterus are alive, that's a debate about whether women have the right to choose to get their hair cut or nails done, since they're also just having cells removed from their bodies.
I think it's horrible that you'd relate slave owners to pro-choice supporters.

To begin with, you show your narrow-mindedness by calling pro-choice people "pro-abortion". That is not the same. Nobody sane can possibly be FOR abortion. It's like being for apendectomy. What pro-choicers claim is that abortion (painful though it is) should be a "choice" (hence the name) for women who are in critical situations.
Secondly, and as some people have said before me, you're right. People supporting slavery and pro-choicers claim the same, the ones about black people, and the others about fetuses: they're not human beings. The great difference is that black people ARE human beings, while fetuses are not. If you claim that a fetus is a human being, the next step is that a sperm and an ovum are human beings too. So, in order not to be an abortionist, you should make sure each one of your sperms turns into a baby. Otherwise, you alone would be killing millions of babies every day. See how ridiculous the argument is?

First of all you are assuming that a fetus is a human being. That in itself is the crux of the abortion devate...when does human life begin.....I do not believe a fetus is a viable human life therefore your argument is pointless since you are comparing a fully grown human (slaves) to a collection of cells. A big difference

"On both of these isssues it's all about how we view human life.. "
This is why your argument is false. First trimester fetuses are not alive yet. Disagree on religious grounds? Look again:
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul
1st trimester fetuses are incapable of breathing...even if assisted artificially.

What about the rights of the person carring the child?
What if they were raped?
What if they addicted drugs and the child will suffer?
What if they are a child themselves?
The difference is that AfricanAmericans were not growing inside the womb of the slave owners.
No I do not agree.

Disagree.
As to the waiting list for children, why are the orphanages still filled with kids?

Yeah everything is the same except for not getting your cotton picked for free after having an abortion.
