Oh come on! Stop being intentionally stupid. People who defend the right to abortion, value life just as much as everyone else. They are not just up for killing babies for no reason. They are worried about the quality of life for both the mother and the baby. And thats how it should be. Not just about life living, but how well that life is going to live. I don't want to get into a debate about abortion here but would you let a baby be born knowing it is going to suffer and die young, like in places like Africa?

The way I see it, its irrelevant if the slaves were happy or not. They could have been treated like angels and I wouldn't give a shit. Its wrong. They are owned by another human being, traded around, bought and sold like objects. Owning another human being is wrong, no matter how you treat them
