Our present law's denial of rights to the fetus is very much like antebellum slavery law's denial of rights to the slave. Then, only the slaveowner's wishes mattered. Now, it's only the mother's.
Unless I missed something, slaves had actual separate bodies that were outside the slaver-owners bodies. That you omitted this rather large difference suggests you were intentionally trying to be misleading.

Excellent point. They were considered property.
