Slavery is one of their go-to analogies, along with Hitler.

is identical to chattel slavery.

Forced childbearing takes away all choice from women, as slavery does from women and men.

I just wish that men could get pregnant. I have been known to ask anti-abortionists if they've ever been pregnant. Most have not, because they're male.

Those who honestly oppose abortion should be doing all possible to ensure that all pregnancies are wanted, that birth control, including morning after, is available to all women. And that when pregnancy occurs, pre-natal care is freely available, and that resulting babies have all the medical, social, and financial support necessary. Anything else is pure hypocrisy.

There were 4 different constitutions that were considered...the best, the Leavenworth Constitution was drafted by a convention of Free-Staters, and was the most progressive of the four proposed constitutions. The conspicuous aspects of this Constitution were a Bill of Rights that referred to "all men" (making no distinction between the rights of white men and African-American men), the banning of slavery from the state, and a basic framework for the rights of women.

The Wyandotte was the winner, it rejected slavery and affirmed separate property rights for married women and their right to participate in school elections, but also denied universal suffrage for women, blacks, and Indians.
