I read the quote by Ayn Rand. I wonder if she would have felt the same way about the unborn ,if she had seen all the ultra sounds. Ayn Rand should not be grouped with Margaret Sanger.Whatever else Ayn Rand was, she was not totalitarian. People ,like Margaret Sanger, would love to use the full force of the government to accomplish their goals.

I don't doubt for a moment that Rand would be pro-choice. How could she help being otherwise? She didn't believe in God, she believed in the absolute authority of the individual, and saw little difference between the will of a male and the will of a female. I can see her buying (no--to be more accurate, I can see her formulating!) the feminists' argument of fetus-as-invader and ridding herself of the detritus of conquest. Self trumps all else.
