    And yet this amazing woman gets accused of lacking compassion.

      That is because she is logical rather than emotional...... so much these days is done on emotion and not logic, or indeed reality.

      @@KathrynLiz1but what too many people seem not to get is that the difference in intellect is not large enough to explain people’s lack of logic and reason. To me it’s a great sign of a moral compass to be this thoughtful. Not even that the person is right about everything but that they are going out of their way to put that much thought into giving their best answer. As a thinker myself, I often resent the assumption that we don’t care. When it’s just the opposite.

    Aside from the content, which I am in complete agreement, I'm blown away by Rand's precision and clarity. She doesn't give off the cuff remarks.

    Does the unborn baby have any say as to whether the mother carrying the unborn or the father of the unborn or the doctor of the mother carrying the unborn has the right to end the unborn baby 's life without the unborns permission ??

      @nilma99 Місяць тому

      Good question but for a different discussion. IMO, a discussion about “the unborn” would first depend on agreed definitions of what (is or is not) a “baby.” When does “life” begin, etc. Does contraception equal murder?

      @@nilma99 does a beej? a foetus is only living after around 24 weeks, so anything before that is just removal, not killing (i hope that doesnt come off as rude idk how to word it :P)
      whole different thing and hugely depends on personal beliefs
