interesting facts found in my research

Well, as I've researched court cases concerning abortion (Roe v. Wade) and comparing them to the court case (Dred Scott v. Sanford) ... I've found a very convincing argument laid out fairly simple. I won't go into much specific detail (although I will be happy to share my finished report with anyone who would like to read it when it's finished) but this gives a short and simple comparison.

SLAVERY:
  • Dred Scott vs. Sanford (1857)
  • 7-2 Decision (In favor of slavery)
  • Blacks - considered a Non-Person
  • Property of owner
  • Owners have right to Buy, Sell or Kill the slave or "property"
  • Abolitionists should not impose Morality on Slave owner (considered a religion belief)
  • Slavery was ruled legal

    ABORTION:
  • Roe vs. Wade (1973)
  • 7-2 Decision (In favor of abortion)
  • Unborn Child - considered a Non-Person
  • Property of owner (mother)
  • Owners (mothers) have right to Keep or Kill the child "property"
  • Pro-Lifers should not impose Morality on a mother (considered a religion belief)
  • Abortion was ruled legal

    It is out right frightening the similarity between the two cases. The Supreme Court corrected it's ruling on Dred Scott vs. Sanford by a strong opposition led by Abraham Lincoln ... Hopefully we will have Supreme Court Justices soon that will see the mistake in Roe vs. Wade and correct that ruling as well.
