No. Martin Luther King was not pro-choice.
So King wish to made women slaves to the state by forcing them to carry Fetuses to full terms.
King was in other word for slavery of women?
This is a silly response. By making these extreme statements either
1. King wished to "made[sic] women slave ... by forcing them to carry fetusus" or
2. King wished to create a genocide by killing unborn babies.
Dr. King didn't actually make any definitive statements either way. He died in 1968, which is before abortion became a major issue (there was political movement before this... but it was not an upfront issue).
He was a baptist minister, and many baptist ministers became pro-life. And, many people in the civil rights movement at the time became pro-life. We don't know what Martin Luther's opinion of abortion rights would have been, but history suggests that (in your stark terms) Dr. King certainly could have chosen slavery of women over genocide of black babies.
Personally, I think this extremist language is silly and unhelpful.
