It’s easy to look down upon earlier generations for their now discredited racism and their seemingly reflexive sexism.  We’re astonished that so many antebellum Americans were able to convince themselves of the moral acceptability, even sometimes the nobility, of black slavery.

 

Someday, however, future generations will look back upon our willingness to kill millions of unborn children — often by crushing their skulls and dismembering them, and all too often for the most superficial of reasons — with the same appalled disbelief that we so complacently experience when we consider Jim Crow, segregation, and the slave trade.
