J.C. Watts (CNN) compares abortion to slavery.
J.C. Watts compares abortion to slavery.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has said that he is personally opposed to abortion, but still supports a woman’s right to choose. Today, CNN political contributor J.C. Watts criticized Giuliani’s position, stating, “That’s the same as saying, I’m personally opposed to slavery, but if somebody else wants to own slaves, it’s okay.” Watch it at link~

4. He's got it backwards.
If one is forced to work against their will for another human - that's slavery. Like a woman forced to work for the fetus when she doesn't want to.

And, at 8 and 1/2 months pregnant in muggy weather, believe me, it's work.

5. Chimpsrsmarter compares JC Watts to an intelligent person---
the intelligent person wins.

Next time maybe he can compare Pasta to a dolphin, that makes more sense.

6. Anti-choice fundies started targeting the black community awhile ago...
...extending their message that abortion is a "holocaust of innocent babies" to include specifically "elimination of minorities", "eugenics", and the like. This propaganda is bound to resonate with both those in the church community and those in the civil rights community, which have a pretty big overlap.

J.C. Watts is definitely a tool for these folks.
