The whole point here is that we in the pro-choice camp want a society with
as little enforced morality as possible.  In general the rule is, "The more
subjective the morality, the less there should be a law."

Abortion is very clearly a matter of much more subjective morality than
slavery.  And that's the difference, plain and simple.

How do we define objective morality?  It's tough, but I think we must
start from a passive state - which is to say we allow things that don't
infringe on the desires of others, and only disallow things when there
is a very clear large (like >90%) majority that want it.
