"The ex-slave abolitionist icon Frederick Douglass once proclaimed, "Where justice is denied...where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."

It exists in the crooked and depraved notion that tiny humans can be denied their natural rights and treated as the legal property of their mothers."
