It demands I respect your right NOT to have an abortion if you don't want one

So if I said "I respect your right not to own a slave" would you recognize my "right to own a slave?"

No. While slavery was legal during biblical times (and still is in some parts of the world), the people of the United States have decided that it is not something we accept (as of the 1860's!) because "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (sorry if I'm mucking up the quote!) and I respect the Constitution of our country. My only regret is that it took so long before we understood it correctly.
