As stated in the two previous articles in this series, abortion is slavery. Not simply like. Not a comparison. Not an analogy. Without qualification, without condition, categorically, undeniably, abortion is slavery. With slavery, a slave owner owns a slave thing. With abortion as it is in America today, a woman owns a pregnancy thing.
Mere things like two-penny nails and packaging peanuts are all the same, things that are not unique. Similarly, those who were proslavery denied that slave “things” were unique. In the same way, today’s abortionarians (democrats and others who are proabortion) deny that each pregnancy “thing” is unique. To admit any such uniqueness would only emphasize the fact that each of them is a human being and would diminish the death dealer’s argument that these “things’ are mere property.
Who Are You?
“Who are you?” is not a question proslavers and enslavers wanted to be asked of a slave thing. Today, democrats and other abortionarians do not want the question – Who Are You? – to be asked of a pregnancy thing because to do so would be to implicitly admit that each of them is an unborn human child, or a newly-born human child.
A Unique Human Being
When a slave thing was punished, whipped, tortured to death, died of overwork or of natural causes, the owner could go to the nearest slave market or to the local slave auctions and buy another slave thing of the same or similar age and weight, and height, but he or she could not go and purchase another slave thing identical to the one who had been killed or who had died. That particular, unique dead slave thing was gone forever.
When a woman or girl today aborts a pregnancy thing, she cannot get pregnant again later and have that pregnancy thing again grow within her, nor can she have another pregnancy thing identical to the one she has killed. The dead pregnancy thing has not been ‘postponed,’ ‘paused,’ ‘deferred,’ or ‘delayed.’ This child of ‘choice’ is gone forever from this earth.
In Aunt Thommie’s Cabin [“Thommie”], by the present author, Aunt Thommie, who earlier in her life had aborted her own twin boys, came to realize how unique her own children had been:
But ‘it’ turned out to be two ‘its,’ and I watched them come out, not born, but dead. An ‘expulsion,’ not a birth. One little ‘it’ and then another little ‘it’. ‘Terminated.’ Heart beats stopped once they were outside me. I thought they were looking at me. Lungs then stilled. Brain waves ceased. I killed my twins. For what? My future? My career? My empowerment? My self? A better life for any future its? No matter what, those two little unique lovely children, those two little human beings, those two tiny boys would never hug me. I would never kiss them. I could have other ‘its,’ but not those two beautiful little boys, not ever again.” (Thommie, p. 68).
Aborted Children: Nevermore
It is not uncommon today for a pregnant woman to stand publicly, proudly and loudly to proclaim, to “shout,” her previous abortions. A present baby, now warm and safe within a, for now, loving mother, will not be any of the babies she has killed. This is not simply a matter of choosing to postpone the unsuspecting baby who had already been killed and then resurrect that same baby later when the time is judged to be right, the award won, the bonus banked, the promotion secured, and the good career move completed.
The now-dead daughter or son will never again be here on this earth. They will never ride a tricycle, never play with, punch, hug, tease, fight with, care for, cry with, defend, or kiss the baby the mother decides to allow to live. They will never feel a single raindrop or see a sunrise. They will never say to the mother, “I love you.” And the daddy may never know the child existed.
Why Is This An Undeniable Truth?
Because each child, each unborn child, each human being, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death is special and unique, unrepeatable, beyond imagining. This is not a poet’s dream or a mother’s praise. This is a scientific fact.
There will be no repeat, no replication, no copy of each child conceived in a mother’s womb. There are, despite Hollywood’s evil myths, despite democrat and socialist lies, and despite complicit media propaganda, no do-overs for the child the woman or girl has aborted.
Genetic Information, DNA, Moms & Dads
For each human being, there are millions of bits of information in that human being’s DNA. Each person’s unique DNA, his or her “genetic material,” has what is called “base pairs” formed from combinations of parts from their parents’ DNA, but not identical to either one.
Each human being has millions of these base pairs which are a unique DNA roadmap with information that, as assembled and combined in that particular DNA is, unmatched, original, exceptional, rare, unequalled, singular, never to be put together in this way for all of human history, and for eternity. No one else has another person’s exact DNA. It is no accident that each human being is unique, as was each slave in America and each aborted child.
God has made each person unique from the moment of conception. There was only one Mother Teresa and never will be another. No scientist or cosmologist will ever think Albert Einstein’s thoughts. No composer will ever have the imagination of W. Amadeus Mozart. And there will never be another person like each and every individual person God has made. There never has been and never will be again a person like you or like me.
Human DNA alone is a testament to the uniqueness of each person. If the information in a single human DNA sequence was printed, it would fill two hundred 1,000 page New York city phone directories. If unwound and tied together, the strands of DNA in one human cell would stretch almost six feet, but would be only 50 trillionths of an inch wide. If DNA in a person’s cells were unwrapped and fixed end-to-end, it would reach the moon 6000 times.
But a person’s DNA is only a small part of the whole story of each unique individual. What you have done throughout your life, the decisions you have made, what has happened to you and what others have done to and for you, your joys, your hopes, your dreams, and all your memories are part of who you are. (reprinted from “Each Person Is A Divine Revelation,” Guy McClung, Catholic Lane, Nov. 11, 2014.
Each slave thing who was killed in America before the Civil War, and each pregnancy thing killed during or after an abortion in America following the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision was a unique human being. No such slave and no such child will ever exist again in human history.
Democrats and other abortionarians now celebrate a girl or woman who has killed a unique child, while ignoring unique fathers and four unique grandparents, and all the other unique family members. Their families, their villages, and the entire world are less because of the loss of these unique little ones.

This is a thing I’ve noticed and found curious. A few years back, I was talking with a young woman, and she said “well, if my mother had aborted me, I’d just have been conceived and born at some other time”. It’s as if she thought she had some kind of “pre-existance” and the “unique” her, was destined to be born at one time or another.
