Here's some historical context regarding abortion. Back in the day, when white people owned black people as if they were horses or cattle, new-born slave children were instant property expansion for slave-owners.
So of course if a slave woman got caught aborting her pregnancy to prevent her child from entering a life of slavery, that meant destruction of property for her owners. Just as if she had killed a foal or a calf before it was born.
Think we're any different than slaves, today? If the anti-abortionists have their way, think again. Your children are the commodity property of the Corporate State, ladies.
