I was saying the abortion issue was akin to the slavery issue. In that statement I was not trying to point one side or the other as being equivalent to slavery, but rather looking for an issue of great divisiveness in this countries history to compare the overall issue to. At the time there was no consensus in the US about the question of slavery. There are analogies one can draw from the issue without using them to express a judgment on the issue. Not that I am impartial on this issue. I have an opinion and haven't tried to hide it, but I was not expressing it in that specific statement. I do think that federal funding of abortions has some similarities to fugitive slave laws. Those laws forced the states that where against slavery to support slavery by making them return escaped slaves. Tim
