As an American, the only thing I get out of Rand's entire existence on this Earth is scaring reactionary Republicans by filling them in on her views of abortion...

@davetroy Republican politicians LOVE to quote Rand... until you quote her back to them.
@CaptBobbers @davetroy And imo she’s making the right arguments here. It’s really good. Thanks for sharing I hadn’t seen this before.

@angelaguyton @davetroy
They HATE talking about her views on abortion. Ayn Rand might as well be Jesus Christ to them... and you can tell by how much they quote mine her work and lectures.

Not saying she and her philosophy of Egoism was correct or good, it's not. Just that there's a lot more to her work than "government bad, taxes be theft." If memory serves, she really didn't like organized religion or deity worship either.

@CaptBobbers @angelaguyton @davetroy They’re about power these days and not process or values, so they’ll cheer anything that makes them feel their prejudices have been endorsed.
