All over the world, for thousands of years, different people were involved in slavery. It is not specific to any one race, sex, or country. There is no direct interconnection like that of women and abortion. And there is no problem outlawing slavery because unlike abortion there is no need for it. > > Others roles in relation to slavery would be limited to peaceful, personal > discussion regarding the actions of plantation owners whom they know. > > Sounds just about as reasonable.
