Why Didn't our Founding Fathers Allow Abortion ? Why did they Allow Slavery ? Was this Right ?

Question

How about the right to vote for women ?

Senseless individuals think that quoting our founding fathers on specific issues, somehow 'qualifies' their opinions . Yet those SAME people are adamant objectors to the 'other' things our founding fathers said . Of course they'll never admit it, but maybe there's 'one or two, that are open-minded and intelligent enough to SEE THIS HYPOCRISY .

You SEE the QUESTIONS that I have posted. . . . .. so go ahead and answer them if you can !!!!!

Answer 1

people need to inform their own opinions instead of quoting the ideas about other people.
Do I agree with some statements...yes. Do I disagree with others...yes. But I agree with those statement because I agree or disagree with the issues at hand, not because somebody who was once thought to be a genius thought it sounded catchy.
as for Thomas Jefferson he was a walking hypocrit. I think he was a great leader don't get me wrong, but endorsing slavery while keeping a black slave mistress who later gave birth to his child....hmm, a little hypocritical, lol.
People are hypocrits in general. We argue things we "don't agree" with until it suits us to change our minds.

Answer 2

In brief, the northern colonies didn't use slaves they didn't need them. The south did since they were harvesting large plantations of needed cotton. The southern colonies said they would not sign the Declaration of Independence if the slavery issue was added. It had been written in by Jefferson and approved by Franklin and Adams. However, after a stand off of many weeks, Franklin suggested they strike the clause to get the independence part started and then deal with the other issues once they were more organized. Compromise plays a large part in our history. Try reading up on it on your own instead of pointing fingers like you knew what they were going through.

Answer 3

Actually, it's not hypocritical. Of course, the US is now a different country than it was in the 1700s. That being said, though, some things remain the same. While it's a good thing that we gave women and blacks the right to vote and outlawed slavery, it still holds true that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism", as Thomas Jefferson said. Anyone who disagrees with this would be better equipped to live in a totalitarian regime rather than a democracy.

Answer 4

Your question caught my eye. Then I went on to look at all the other questions you have asked b/c the question that caught my eye this one per-say I thought it seemed one sided.

Instead of speaking in terms of Consertatives and Liberals. Let me ask you this: Is the glass half empty or half full?

Most of your questions that you have asked seem to be an extreme pessismistic view of your own thoughts. Which is why Yahoo let's us post things in the first place. But, if you have a PHD and have studied an amass, then certainly you would attempt a debate in an open forum. Meaning, both sides of an argument make complete sense. Otherwise, there is no debate.
Debates are based on finding answers, not justifying your reason to believe one way or the other. It may seem that way when in debate b/c you try and make your point but the beauty of democracy is that you are free to believe what you want when you want.
See, so no matter how much you can't stand someone else's views on politics, life, religion, and whatever else is out there....you will never be able to change everyone into one way of thinking otherwise you would be pushing for socialism.

So, in my regards to this question you've asked I'm going to topple this argument and virtually win this online debate with another question:
Who is the Hypocrit? The person who switches sides of an argument to settle the quelms of another, OR the person who states that their thoughts are hypocritical?

By switching sides of an argument means that your working with one another to find a solution, rather than pointing fingers.

To shey my friend........

Answer 5

nicely, it relies upon on the guy's perception. it relatively is elementary to offer an opinion, as they technically do no longer require any real help. in case you're conflicted, nonetheless, as you look, it relatively is. i in my opinion am professional-life, after being professional-determination for some years. Many on the two the pro-life and professional-determination components have the two admitted that via making abortion unlawful with regulations like the situations of turning into pregnant by rape or incest, many women persons might declare to have been raped or abused with the intention to get the abortion. they might, in result, be compelled to lie. in terms of the mummy's life being endangered, i will comprehend and help abortion if so - yet if so it would not be attainable like it relatively is now. First, a doctor might prefer to income the female to verify the risk and the guy might could make their determination.regrettably, lots of the deaths led to via childbirth are unpredicted, making this occasion much extra no longer likely. Abortions are very risky because it relatively is, so it could no longer additionally be considered an determination in the case that it relatively is anticipated. as nicely to this, scientific technology being as greater because it relatively is, it relatively is a uncommon case whilst medical doctors may be waiting to discover this risk and not a technique or the different stay sparkling of it. additionally, scientists are continuously shortening the quantity of time required via an adolescent in the womb in the previous it could stay to tell the story exterior of their mom's physique (and being in some form of synthetic womb as a replace). Then, there is C-sections and different scientific innovations to get the toddler out of the mummy with as little danger to the mummy as conceivable.

Answer 6

I did'nt realize abortion was an issue in 1776. How old are you? Slavery was an industry in America and to much money by to many poloticians was being made to make it an issue. Slavery wasn't an issue in starting the civil-war, as so many "want to beleive". It didn't become an issue until 2 years into the war as the same as the South the North used the blackes. Their was to get the blacks to fight in their war. The war sterted the same as most others, over industrialization. I can't believe I'm even answering such an ignorant question as this. Does your mommie know your not at school?

Answer 7

The history of abortion goes back 1000's of years, it was not call abortion, it went under the cover of miscarriage or "lost the child".

The history of slavery also goes back 1000's of years. It seemed a perfectly natural order of things.

It was not right, but it did not seem unnatural to the people of the day.

The concept that women are little more than chattel also goes back 1000's of years. This was not the case in all societies, but it was a very common practice.

The "good old days" were really not that good.

Answer 8

The same people use the bible to back up their arguments. But if you truly read the bible...not just the passages that are advantageous to one's point of view, you would see that slavery was perfectly acceptable, as was killing babies.

People will take what they want from any source, and discard that which is not relevant to their cause....

Answer 9

Abortion was commonly practiced in colonial days, and wasn't mentioned in any of our documents because it wasn't an issue.
For the same reason "hot tea" wasn't mentioned. IT WASN"T A GOVT ISSUE.
