created a new page comparing the logic between slavery and abortion
Despite leftist nonsense objections,<ref>[https://rewire.news/article/2013/11/12/abortion-is-not-like-slavery-so-stop-comparing-the-two/ Abortion Is Not Like Slavery, So Stop Comparing the Two]</ref> the modern-day justification of abortion closely resembles the mid-19th century justification of slavery, in which in almost all cases the logical reasoning behind both arguments are entirely identical.
==So-called "positive goods"==
[[John C. Calhoun]] and other racist Southern Democrats in his day upheld the system of slavery, arguing that slavery provides food, shelter, and stability for the slaves, thus somehow benefiting them. They also furthered argued that slavery prevents unemployment by putting blacks to work and thus prevents so-called anarchy and bloodshed.<ref>[http://www.ushistory.org/us/27f.asp 27f. The Southern Argument for Slavery]</ref><ref>[https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/clyde-wilson-library/john-c-calhoun-and-slavery-as-a-positive-good-what-he-said/ John C. Calhoun and Slavery as a “Positive Good:” What He Said]</ref> Note how this argument is uncannily similar to the modern-day progressive argument on how abortion somehow benefits the aborted on the basis that "otherwise they would be forced to endure a world of misery". Some even go on to argue that abortion somehow reduces crime as it supposedly stops most criminals from being born. (argument debunked, see [https://www.lifenews.com/2012/10/26/does-abortion-really-reduce-crime-another-look-at-freakonomics/ this link])
==Legality vs. morality==
A common liberal argument to justify abortion is on the basis that it's legal. Many constantly cite [[Roe v. Wade]] to somehow "prove" that a human fetus is not living because "it's the law". Note how similar this is to how past racist Democrats used [[Dred Scott v. Sandford]] to justify slavery on the basis that "it's the law."<sup>[citation needed]</sup>
==Conflict of rights==
A common premise of arguments justifying slavery and those justifying abortion is the idea that one person's natural rights somehow have the so-called "right" to infringe upon another's natural rights. The abortion movement always makes the supposition that unborn children have no rights and therefore their fates can be decided solely by the mother. Similarly, past justifications of slavery included the obvious example of arguing that whites had "right" to own slaves, some even falsely citing the Bible to justify.<sup>[see previous citation]</sup>
