I find "Forced parenthood is slavery!" to be pretty convincing, actually. Though I may be prejudiced by having grown up around a Libertarian father (now, alas, more Republican(!??)) who went about proclaiming that jury duty was slavery.
Does this qualify as "a weak version of a strong left-wing argument that you do accept"?
Mm... sure. "X is Y!" is generally pretty weak, and I'm pro-choice, so, sure.
Are laws (in the U.S.) against driving on the left side of the road slavery?
