   In a recent post I wrote about the similarities between Slavery and Abortion, how hearing Greg Gutfeld make that comparison opened my mind to a new way of thinking, I have always been pro choice with limitations. Slavery was wrong and cannot be justified and should never have been allowed. In its beginnings in America it was forced indentured servitude. The Britsh forcible removed the Irish from their homeland and sold them into servitude in 1641 the population of Ireland was 1,466,000, and in 1652 it was 616,000, fighting age men were killed and women, children and seniors were forcibly taken and sold into servitude but at that time what was sold was their contract, People were not property after 7or 8 years they were free.

Anthony Johnson was a Black Man and one of the first Blacks brought to Virginia he fulfilled his servitude and became a free man and a land owner. He took court action against a man named John Casor an indentured servant. Casor had fulfilled his servitude and then some and wanted his freedom. Johnson sued saying Casor was a slave not an indentured Servant and in 1654 or 55 the Courts of King George 3rd sided with Johnson and Casor became a slave. Seven years later in 1661 Virginia passed a law making it law that any free White, Black or Indian could own slaves along with Indentured servants. Anthony Johnson died in 1670 he was not allowed to give his farm to his children, it was given to a White man because he was Black he was not a citizen of the colony. Below is a Link to a Smithsonian article on John Casor fate.

Instead of righting the wrong of the Johnson decision the evil grew following the Johnson decision it took 208 years, 74 years from the signing of the Constitution and the bloodiest war in this nations history to put an end to this terrible wrong and now we have a decision made by the courts in 1973 Roe vs Wade where a terrible moral wrong was made legal and as was the case of slavery it keeps expanding it definition of restraints.  We now have laws in New York State that allow Abortions up to the day of birth. You will often hear the left say in the case of the mothers health but there are no such restrictions in this law. What is saddest part of this is that the same political party that fought so hard to keep men slaves is now the party that fights for the unfettered right to kill Babies. I think that it could be a very debatable topic to decide which is the most egregious crime against humanity slavery or the slaughter of fetus's, but it is not a debate I ever want to have, both are in my mind now unacceptable. I hope that we as a society come to our senses soon and that it does not take another civil war to right this wrong.
