Q&A with pro-life activist: Are you seeing Christians becoming pro-choice? | Saturday, February 13, 2021
https://www.hangthecensors.com/477003.html (Natural News) He was personally opposed to slavery. But supported your right to buy slaves. This was the position of Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas who lost his bid for President to Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Douglas believed it was the “right” of each state to determine whether they would enslave blacks or not.

If Southern states did not count slaves as bearers of rights, that was the end of it. But assumed premises–especially when undetected–can destroy a nation.
