Oh becasue I stand up for the rights of women and refuse to acknowledge your nonsense you stoop to calling me names. Well sir I agree with Ayn Rand whos states and destroys your entire concept in very few words. Live with the fact no everyone agrees with your extreme nonsense.

What part of this do you not understand?

Excerpt from “Of Living Death” The Objectivist, October 1968:
"An embryo has no rights. Rights do not pertain to a potential, only to an actual being. A child cannot acquire any rights until it is born. The living take precedence over the not-yet-living (or the unborn).

Abortion is a moral right--which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make of the functions of her own body?"


And on religion ...

"Qua religion, no--in the sense of blind belief, belief unsupported by, or contrary to, the facts of reality and the conclusions of reason. Faith, as such, is extremely detrimental to human life: it is the negation of reason. But you must remember that religion is an early form of philosophy, that the first attempts to explain the universe, to give a coherent frame of reference to man's life and a code of moral values, were made by religion, before men graduated or developed enough to have philosophy."
