The Parallels Between the Fetus and the Indian

The fetus is completely naked,
the Indian was half naked.
The Indian lived in a pristine America.
The fetus dwells in the  mini continent of the womb.
The English colonists drove the Indians from their land on the basis of the charter that the king gave them.
Abortion doctors remove fetuses from their homes on the basis of the charter (Roe v Wade decision) handed down by the Supreme Court.
The ignorant fetus is deemed animal-like, a nonperson undeserving of rights.
Likewise, elite Europeans who knew the circumference of the Earth, etc., felt
so superior to the primitive civilization.of the Indians
that they had nothing but contempt for them, killing them without remorse.

Via abortion we are repeating the sordid saga of Western Civilization's exploitation of Native Americans in the 1600s/1700s.
