I WILL NOT discuss ABORTION; however, I will say:

The nature of that article is unsurprising as Ayn Rand has been cited as "one of the most important figures in the libertarian movement..." Ayn Rand was the creator of Objectivism; Objectivism and Libertarianism have a very inextricable relationship. The article has a Libertarian base.

I tend not to side with Objectivism as I see it as a shallow attempt to fasten kaleidoscopic concepts and ideas into a hard and fast, unequivocal, macrocosm.

Rand's development of Objectivism, I must say, does highlight her intelligence a great deal; namely, in her attempt to hold to the light the disparity of self-interest and greed. However, I think one of her greatest flaws was applying concepts from economic theory to interpersonal relationships. In my opinion, this was very bad.

Any road, I will say, Ayn Rand is a WONDERFUL writer and I recommend all her books to everyone.
