Excerpt from this article: "Slavery rejects the humanity of slaves, while abortion rejections the humanity of children in the womb. Slavery denies the personhood of slaves; abortion denies the personhood of children in utero.
Slavery was based upon the lie that slavery was best for the slaves; likewise, abortion is based upon the lie that abortion is best for unwanted children."
