NO!It was totally sick and wrong!
Stephen Douglas believed that the issue of slavery should be determined by popular sovereignty, allowing individual states and territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery. He supported the idea that each state should have the right to choose whether to be a free or slave state.
Ablution of slavery refers to the act of cleansing or getting rid of the institution of slavery. It implies the effort to eradicate and end all forms of slavery or servitude within a society or community.
An abolitionist is someone who actively works to end slavery, while a pro-slavery person supports and advocates for the continuation of slavery. Abolitionists believe in the equal rights and freedom of all individuals, while pro-slavery individuals believe in the right to own and exploit others as property.
Stephen Douglas supported popular sovereignity, also called squatter sovereignity, which stated that each territory had the right to determine if they would accept slavery or not.
Tolerated b/c of necessity - you don't really want to, but you think you have to. Let's say you have a farm, you need people to work it.Trouble is, it's not making enough money to pay the farmhands decent wages. The solution is slavery.Now you don't need money for wages, as long as the farm is making enough to keep your slaves fed and clothed, you're OK.Slavery as a right - that's when you think it's your right to be master, and that they deserve to be slaves.In this case, you don't think there's any unfairness in the situation.You're doing what you are set to do, and they are doing what they are set to do. Like when you expect a dog to come when you call on it.Or when you expect a waiter/waitress to be attentive to your needs in a restaurant.

She was against slavery.
Well i think slavery is wrong, no matter what reasons people give that say it's "right", but one reason slave owners use to say it was "right" was because they gave slaves better living conditions then they would have in Africa.

He wanted to abolished slavery.
In his inaugural address he declared that: ... "I have no intention to interfere, either directly or indirectly, in the institution of slavery in those states where it exists. I think I have no legal right to do, and I have no inclination to do so"...
