Nah, [slavery and abortion bans are] unrelated issues, stop conflating.

They are related in that both legalized slavery and abortion bans are examples of regional legislative causes of needless human suffering. Furthermore, it's many of the same states doing it. How much suffering should we allow states to inflict on their residents before the Federal government intervenes? What's your metric here?

    I wish you could share that sentiment with someone that actually was a slave.

    1. I absolutely could. Read the 13th amendment carefully: "except as a criminal punishment."

    2. You didn't answer my question. I will repeat it: How much suffering should we allow states to inflict on their residents before the Federal government should intervene? Given that fetuses are incapable of sentience/suffering before 24 weeks, why should we allow states to make women and children needlessly suffer by forcing women to give birth against their will? Help us understand your point of view.
