And the Southerners who held slaves were Property owners.

As were the northerners that did the same. Comparing Southerners to Nazis? My, haven't heard that one before....

This might come as a surprise to you but the anti-abortion groups of today and the abolitionist groups of the 1800s share a lot of common ground. Both had philosophical disagreements about the best approach to take (legislative vs. moral persuasion) to influence their cause, and both had their extremists. Both groups were considered radicals in their time, and both share political lineage to the Republican party.

While you are correct to say that some in the north held slaves, it does not have relevance to the comparison I'm drawing.

I'm more interested in hearing how a champion of individual rights like yourself feels about having the federal government monitoring the health of your unborn child, or perhaps more ominously, making decisions about whether you should have any [or] more children?
