You realise that single parenthood is a choice (I'm a single parent by choice), whereas having your family separated under slavery is not, right?

The comparison should be prevalence of kidnapping in modern times vs family separation under slavery.

An interesting point that makes me stpo and think for a moment However, are you saying all single parents choose to be single parents? Do you speak for all single parents? My mother left my father to handle myself and siblings. I can tell you he didnt choose to be left behind.

Didnt mean to send yet. Your last point is excellent though! I agree

It was a choice made by a private citizen to choose their own autonomy.

That's very different to a choice made by one person on the life of another, enforced by the power of the state.
