Entry: Bloody kansas Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bloody_kansas#7971 Post contents: Adriana's case for the slave analogy in dealing with abortion simply doesn't work. Blacks and their liberal leaders do not accept the analogy in any way; in fact "civil rights" spokesmen rage against anyone who is "racist" enough to bring it up. Moreover, saying that both acts dehumanize those to whom they are done merely offers a general judgment about the effects of doing something to someone of which we don't approve.Giving some kid a gift of coke or a subscription to SCREW would exemplify Adriana's prohibition as easily as the practice of slavery.The traditional Christian view, found in Aquinas as well as in that proto-Protestant Augustine, was that slavery may have been a necessary evil.
