They're not really children at all yet. It's not like they kill the baby when the mom is 8 months pregnant. Most states don't perform past 4 months where the baby is less than 6 in long and it's rarely possible to predict the gender. (What happens if you get raped by your close family member and there is a very high chance of mental illness? Do you have the baby that isn't even aware of it's own existence and taking it's toll on your body when you didn't even want it in the first place?) Most abortions happen when it is barely even an embryo. It's not like they kill the baby as it's being born.
Comparing slavery to cheap labor in America is ridiculous, people can leave their jobs any time, take cheap night classes to develop a skill.
And you missed his point about 'In God We Trust'. People were committed to the idea of slavery, oppressed women, etc. back in 1789 but changed it doesn't me we should stick with it now because we realize it is wrong. Just because the Founding Fathers believed in Christianity doesn't mean that 200 years later we should be teaching it in our school. Do we teach Hindu ideals in our school during science classes? Of course not.
