Letter: Human beings should not be treated as property 

To the editor,Submit news of Letter to the editor

–Slavery was a blight on our country’s history. In this barbaric practice, human beings were treated as property: and the owners could do with them as they wish. They could sell them, they could kill them, etc. and it was all legal to do so. This did not make it right.

Fast forward to today – we are told that unborn babies are property of the woman to do with as she likes: she can sell them, she can kill them, etc. Sound familiar? It took just about 100 years after our country was founded before we evolved to the point that we decided that slaves were human beings and should be treated as such.

I hope it does not take 100 years before we evolve to the point that the country realizes that unborn babies are human beings and should be treated as such. Let’s develop some compassion and intelligence as a country and let’s stop this barbaric practice. We need another emancipation proclamation for the unborn!

–Paso Robles resident Paul Holbrook
