Do people know that slave owners were the Pro-Choice people of their time?

Question

And the slave owners thought that the ones who were opposed to them owning slaves were taking away their "right" to own slaves.

There were many people of that time who argued that people should just mind their own business about it. Sound familiar?

Legalized abortion is today's Social Darwinism bringing its ugly head back up again. It's a license for the strong (abortion supporters) to have a legal choice to take the life of those innocents who have no choice, who can't fight back against the blade of the abortionist, and who are an inconvenience to someone because they are "not ready yet to have a baby".

It’s illegal to destroy a turtle egg but legal to kill an unborn baby at the whim of the mother. I guess the mother’s nurturing instinct is dead.

We learned nothing from history because it has repeated itself. History will judge us again as being a barbaric society. Our attitude as a society is no different than Cain's attitude about the murder of Abel.

Rape and incest only accounts for about 1% percent of abortions. That's from the Planned Parenthood website, and they are the largest abortion provider in America.

Answer 1

Very true. Just like unborn babies today, slaves were not considered true human beings worthy of rights and equal protection under the law.

Answer 2

Nowhere even close to to being a honest assessment. and there's a huge difference between being "professional-determination" and "professional-abortion." "professional-determination" ability you have the choice to % to the two have an abortion or no longer. in case you % to no longer, that would not unavoidably propose you're anti-abortion; it ability you made the determination in keeping with what grew to become into precise for you on the time. of direction, if the alternative is made to have an abortion, you and your crowd will right away slap a label on them whilst making genuinely NO attempt to verify why the female made the choice to start with. while it involves a woman's physique, the female is the only which makes the alternative, no longer the state or the federal government. What area of that logic do no longer you and your crowd comprehend?

Answer 3

A slave was just another animal...a lump of flesh that could be bought or sold, or killed, if the master got fed up with it. Nobody really cared much what happened to slaves...children were sold away from their mothers, wives sold away from husbands, husbands killed, wives and daughters raped...after all, these bodies were "owned" and nobody had the right to tell the owner what to do with them.
I do see your point, and it is a good one....

Answer 4

My mothering instinct is alive and well, jerk. I could never have an abortion, even thinking of them makes my cry. There are a lot of people who should not be parents. Some are too selfish and would want to have an abortion only because they don't want to be bothered. These mothers would DEFINITELY make the sacrifices necessary to carry a baby to-term healthy note the sarcasm here). Then there are those who were raped, a baby certainly wouldn't be a living reminder of the horror they endured, that would certainly make for a nice healthy pregnancy and life (again, please note the sarcasm). There are those too young to carry babies, and those whose bodies cannot sustain a pregnancy, and those for whom pregnancy means certain death, they should DEFINITELY be forced to die because the idea of abortion offends you. Lastly on my list, though by no means of less consideration, there are those who conceived children by being molested, through incest. Children with the distinct likelihood of genetic malformation and reduced intelligence, yes, these children's souls should be entombed in a broken body. Right on there ace, (please do not fail to notice my sarcasm!)

Answer 5

You're right...every combination of cells has the right to develop into an unwanted child, who will probably end up depressed and suicidal because his parents don't have the financial advantage needed to bring up a child. We need more of those people. There aren't enough children out on the streets begging for food and there aren't enough people in mental institutions. You make a pretty good point there. You and all your pro-life gang.

Answer 6

That is a very good analogy. However, I think that women whose life is threatened by pregnancy, rape victims, and victims of incest shouldn't have fingers pointed at them for keeping control over their own bodies.

Answer 7

If slave owners were so pro-choice they would have given their slaves the option of leaving.. there was no choice involved in slavery.

Many slave owners referred to the Christian bible as to reasoning why they could keep another human being in bondage. Slavery was religiously justified.

Perhaps you should study the thirty years prior to the Civil War a bit more - you seem to need a brush up on your American History.

Answer 8

so...i guess you didnt read my response to your previous question....im not surprised.

if the possibility of an abortion doesent directly involve you....shut up. if it does then you can voice an opinion (on what others can and should do)

until that happens...leave people alone to make their own decisions. your opinion, while it is valid, is not fact, nor is it the best choice for everyone else.

im sure you ignore other types of abortions like incest and rape. im sure youd make the same ruling for those, huh?

say it with me, " no incest abortions! no rape abortions"

lets get more specific, how about "no abortions for 13 year old rape victims, regardless of it might kill them or if they cant bring the child to term"

that sound okay to you? i hope it does.

Answer 9

That's right. They weren't considered human either, just like a fetus. Just lumps of flesh to be peddled in slave markets.

Answer 10

Again, you are sticking with the "unborn baby" view. That is not the view all others hold. And as someone already suggested to you, until we establish what that group of cells should really be called, this argument will not end.

Can we agree to disagree yet?
