So you’re saying that a personal choice by a woman or a girl to not carry a pregnancy to term is the same as enslaving other human beings for profit.
I'd dare say it's morally worse. At least the slaves, for the most part, were able to have long-ish lives. And they were born into a time when the drudgery of working the soil without the benefit of powered machinery was unavoidable, so their masters definitely made their lives worse but weren't the sole cause of that misery.
Abortion deprives a 21st century American of 70, 80 years of life in 21st century America. The utility robbed of them is much higher than for 18th or 19th century black slaves.
There is nothing beautiful about slavery or abortion. These are among the most heinous crimes committed in the long history of the world. Since 1973 we've holocausted more of our fellow American citizens than the cumulative death toll of WW2. In countries like China, we're talking as many abortions in the last 40 years as there are Americans currently.
So you stand on the same firm ground of righteousness as abolitionists.
It costs me nothing to adhere to my position. It would be vain and vacuous to compare myself to those who risked their lives or took direct action against these evils. I'm typing this on a keyboard from the comfort of my air conditioned home, and after this post is completed I'll go about my pampered everyday life. 74 million Americans have been so utterly desensitized about the topic through decades of forced normalization as to do nothing when there's a Planned Parenthood clinic within driving distance, and I'm one of them. On a sheer emotional level, abortion is to me but one of many hot button issues. I can easily stop thinking about it and have my thoughts dwell on something else.
But rationally speaking yes. Abortion is a crime against humanity becoming of the Ancient Romans, who abandoned their newborns in trash heaps to die of sickness or to be eaten by predators.
Because a fetus is just as much a human being as a black person. Perhaps even more so, if the fetus is white..
I reject the distinction between a fetus and a person. By definition, a fetus is human and by definition a fetus is a person.
It's also telling that you said fetus and not embryo or zygote. A baby 30 minutes from being born is still a fetus. But because it hasn't yet passed through the birthing canal, I suppose that makes it not human in your eyes. Civilized "progressive" logic there.
