Yes Brazil imported more slaves....but couldn't you argue that the Portugese were white......or at least let's say men of European decent.

It was despicable for sure....but the treatment of African slaves is absolutely not a good comparison for placing rights on an unborn fetus.

Because as a white male I'm sick of being blamed for all the world's evils, which is what you definitely are implying.

Well guess what? While males didn't invent slavery, or colonialism, or oppression, or torture, or genocide. Slavery existed in Asian, African, and pre-Colombian American cultures for milennia, and they didn't need white people to invent of perpetrate it. And not all slaves were African, either. As for colonialism and conquest, that has been going on in the cultures mentioned above too. The Japanese colonized part of China and other Asian nations and did not treat the natives nicely. But once the Communists took over China, then Chairman Mao showed the Chinese what brutality really was. He wasn't white. Neither was Pol Pot, who slaughtered a whole quarter of Cambodia's population. And ever heard of Idi Amin?

And BTW, American Indians owned slaves, too...which ought to tell you something. And that's your much-needed lesson in world history.
