Slavery & Abortion

Sorry to not have anything original again, but this was so good that i had to share...

Spoken by someone already free, spoken by someone already born....

SLAVERY - Although he may have a heart and a brain, and he may be human life biologically, a slave is not a legal person.  The Dred Scott decision by the U.S. Supreme Court has made that clear.
ABORTION - Although he may have a heart and a brain, and he may be a human life biologically, an unborn baby is not a legal person.  The Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court has made that clear.

SLAVERY - A black man only becomes a legal person when he is set free.  Before that time, we should not concern ourselves about him.  He has no legal rights.
ABORTION - A baby only becomes a legal person when he is born.  Before that time, we should not concern ourselves about him.  He has no legal rights.

SLAVERY - If you think slavery is wrong, then nobody is forcing you to be a slave-owner.  But don't impose your morality on somebody else!
ABORTION - If you think abortion is wrong, then nobody is forcing you to have one.  But don't impose your morality on somebody else!

SLAVERY - A man has a right to do what he wants with his own property.
ABORTION - A woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body.

SLAVERY - Isn't slavery really something merciful?  After all, every black man has the right to be protected.  Isn't it better never to be set free than to be sent unprepared, and ill-equipped, into a cruel world?
ABORTION - Isn't abortion really something merciful?  After all, every baby has a right to be wanted.  Isn't it better never to be born than to be sent alone and unloved into a cruel world?
