Scott McConnell's Oral History of Ayn Rand includes an interview with a consultant of the Atlas Shrugged author and founder of the Objectivism cult, who details how she helped the artist formerly known as Alisa Zinovievna Rosenbaum get on the public tit. From Mark Frauenfelder at BoingBoing:

Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer funds under an assumed name to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer.

An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor).

As Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though Ayn "despised government interference and felt that people should and could live independently... She didn't feel that an individual should take help."

For anyone who performs abortions. Anyone who seeks them. Anyone who hires a hitman to kill babies, born or unborn.

It IS murder. However man has created his own "justice" and rationalizes abortion as the "lesser of evils" vs. the inconvenience of raising the child.

That said, the Lord was clear about the repercussions of His justice of those who harm "the little ones."

Liberalism is a mental disorder. It is true.

Now where have I heard that before?????

Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder

February 17, 2008

Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder As a clinical and forensic psychiatrist, Lyle Rossiter has treated over 1,500 patients and examined over 2,700 civil and criminal cases. Turning his hand to political psychopathology, the author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, has diagnosed an alarming percentage of the population as suffering from the grotesque form of mental derangement known by some as moonbattery.

Among Rossiter's observations:

Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.

A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity — as liberals do. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population — as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state — as liberals do.

The roots of liberalism — and its associated madness — can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.

Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society. With luck, the official diagnosis of this disease by a mental health professional will facilitate the search for a cure.

Europe has lower morals then traditional Americans.

And yet traditional Americans have abortions at a higher rate.

Unwed pregnant teens and 20-somethings who attend or have graduated from private religious schools are more likely to obtain abortions than their peers from public schools, according to research in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

"But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?"

You are correct that this is the third rail of the Democrat Party.

The reason is simple and one that must never be discussed and that is the racial element to abortion. The Black Caucus would abandon the party in a second if any reasonable approach to abortion control would ever be suggested.

This has been true since the South abandoned the Democrats and tried to reason with the caucus, and then had to become Republican instead.

The SCOTUS never never never should have suggested it was legal and there needs to be a good case to overturn it and damn the Black Caucus and the money changers at Planned Parenthood and its sister lesbian society chums at NOW.

It's all about money now. Nothing to do with morals or integrity on the left.

And, sadly, the right has fallen into the trap of unrealistic expectations whatever the good intentions.

Obamacare and Abortion: The Facts

October 19, 2010 5:27 P.M. By William L. Saunders

Today, Americans United for Life held a telephone press conference to discuss a hot political topic: Did Obamacare mark a huge expansion of abortion? This is important, because many self-identified pro-life Democrats voted for Obamacare, and some of those are up for reelection in races where this question has taken center stage.

The answer is yes, Obamacare did mark a significant expansion of abortion. It violated one plank of the “Hyde Amendment principles” (Hyde itself does not apply, since Obamacare is funded outside of Health & Human Services appropriations): no federal funding of insurance plans that provide abortions. The state exchanges established under Obamacare will certainly include plans that cover abortion. These plans will receive federal subsidies, thus violating Hyde principles. The meaningless “restriction” in the law is that the subsidies go to the insurance provider, not the individual, and that the abortions are paid for from a pool established by mandatory monthly payments by insurees. And even this restriction lapses if Hyde itself is not renewed (it is subject to yearly renewal).

Beyond this, there are virtually no restrictions on abortion in Obamacare. Funding streams such as those through Community Health Centers were thus unaffected. And while that particular problem was addressed in Obama’s executive order, the order failed to address anything else.

For instance, one loophole left open by the EO involved the high-risk pools. In fact, HHS would have directly funded abortion thereunder but for the protests of pro-life advocates. But HHS’ initial decision came as no surprise. As both the Congressional Research Service and the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights pointed out, there was no legal restriction against HHS approving such funding since neither the law itself nor the executive order forbade it.

Another loophole left unclosed by the EO is the meaning of “preventive care,” which must be covered by all private insurance plans under the new law. The government can define it to include abortion. If so, every insurance plan — not just those on the state exchanges — would have to cover it. This is a hole wide enough to drive the proverbial truck through.

Finally, one thing we know from court decisions in many circuits is that unless abortion is expressly prohibited, courts will read it into laws providing for health-care services.

In short, Obamacare marked a decisive pro-abortion shift. Representatives who voted for it should not be surprised if their constituents hold them accountable for doing so.

— William L. Saunders is a senior vice-president at Americans United for Life.

It sounds so Nazi lock step like and is a form of imtimidation too. But then that hero of the statist right, Nixon, kept enemies lists too. And it demonstrates that you must assume since there are obvious trolls here that everyone is one.

If so, every insurance plan — not just those on the state exchanges — would have to cover it. This is a hole wide enough to drive the proverbial truck through.

William L. Saunders represents the extreme Catholic view that the pill, and IUDs are abortifacients - that is what he's talking about when he refers to the “preventive care" loophole.

Pregnancy is not a disease. Therefore, it is illogical to include elective abortions and abortifacients in preventive care and screenings.

Plan B, a so-called “emergency contraceptive,” should not be included in preventive care. When the FDA approved Plan B, it acknowledged that the drug not only prevented fertilization but “may also work by…preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus. . . .”

What birth control method is acceptable to Saunders?

If a couple thinks serious reasons do indeed exist for postponing a pregnancy, the Church teaches that a couple may take advantage of "the natural cycles of the reproductive system" (Humanae Vitae, No.16). We know that a woman can only conceive a child during the period of ovulation. Therefore, a couple may resort to expressing their love only when they are in the infertile phases of their cycle. This method of regulating birth is called Natural Family Planning, a safe and effective means which is morally acceptable and which preserves the covenant love of marriage.
