Comparing Slavery and The Holocaust to Abortion

Trevin Wax:

How dare you compare abortion to the Holocaust or slavery?!
Dred Scott declared that human persons with black skin were not actually human persons, but only 3/5 human.  Adolf Hitler and the Nazis decided that human persons who were of Jewish heritage were not actually human persons, but some kind of pest or rodent that needed exterminating.  Roe v. Wade pronounced that human persons who were in the first nine months of their human development were not human persons unless their mother decided they were. How can we not have learned our lessons about trying to redefine personhood?
