Mark Rose has a good post on the similarities between abortion and slavery. I did a post on the parallels between Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade a while back, which is why it caught my interest. He puts together a well thought-out and poignant seven-point list. The last one is the best

7. Like slavery, abortion won’t be legal forever. It cannot possibly last. And, like slavery, future Americans will look back to the Roe v. Wade era and ask “How could we have allowed that to go on in this country for so long?”

Absolutely correct. Dred Scott was overturned by a civil war. Such extremes won’t be necessary nowadays. We only need one more supreme court justice who refuses to put concocted privacy rights over life.

UPDATE Harry Monroe adds some more analysis.
