Democrats Then & Now

From TheResurgent.com . . .

Democrats Before The Civil War Talking About Slaves
“They are my property.”
“They are not human.”
“They are not even three-fifths of a person.”
“I can do with my property whatever I want.”
“You have no legal right to control my property.”
“Science says they are not an intelligent being.”
“They cannot survive on its own.”
“They are mine to do with as I please.”
“They cannot feel anything.”

Democrats Today Talking About The Unborn
“They are my property.”
“They are not human.”
“They are not even three-fifths of a person.”
“I can do with my property whatever I want.”
“You have no legal right to control my property.”
“Science says they are not an intelligent being.”
“They cannot survive on their own.”
“They are mine to do with as I please.”
“They cannot feel anything.”

One hundred fifty-two years after our nation enacted the thirteenth amendment prohibiting slavery the same excuses used to justify slavery are now used by those who would defend abortion.

“Property” has become “body,” but otherwise the same arguments are used to deny humanity to humans in order to treat them as less than human. Modern America has just graduated from the trading of bodies to the trading of body parts.
