A recent article, rephrased:
"All this hoopla on slavery stirs strong emotions in everyone
it seems. Why must there be a Gov't ruling or law at all??
I'll agree that maybe state and federal monies need not be supplied
to buy slaves, but if my family decides to have a slave or two
at this particular time, isn't this OUR business??
"If all people are required to give up their slaves,
will the anti-slaverly advocates help out in anyway? Who will see that a
slave is loved and cared for? Not the people who want slavery banned.
They will sit back and pat themselves on the back for saving
a slave and not think that he is more than a biological function."
Some years ago there was widespread argument concerning
the question, is a negro a human being?, to whom the
phrase "all men are created equal..." applies. This
means of course that there were many who argued that
in fact they were not in some sense "the same as us",
and therefore not entitled to be treated equally. Thus
they were bought and sold, like cattle, for the convenience
of the ruling class.
Today there is a misplaced libertarianism that states
the unborn child is not a human being entitled to the
protections afforded to all people in this country.
Thus they may be aborted for the convenience of the
bearer.
Unfortunately for the advocates of abortion, the tide of
history is against them. The unborn child will soon
be installed in law as a human being, the general
abortion of which will be regarded as murder.

I notice you use "will" instead of "may" in an attempt to give an OPINION the illusion of fact. It is quite obvious that net.abortion is just going to be net.flame.abortion used by emotional fanatics far from the center of public opinion. Unsubscribing to newsgroup: net.abortion Carl W.

Unfortunately for all of us, the tide of history seems to be running
the other way, toward casual acceptance of the death of millions of
fully competent people. Could this be the same plunkett who so strongly
supports all the warlike moves of the Reagan people? What is his position
on Capital punishment? On support for the starving in the Third World?
