Related to the subject of abortions ...

I personally don't think abortion rights should have any connection to viability, and that flows both ways.

Well, then....here are your guys.


President Obama appointed Professor Peter Singer as his heathcare advisor.

Now, lest anyone believe that there is a nuanced explanation that would be acceptable to normal people....consider the fact that President Obama appointed Professor Peter Singer as his heathcare advisor.

a. "Singer once wrote, "because people are human does not mean that their lives are more valuable than animals." He not only advocates abortion but also killing disabled babies up to 28 days after they are born. In his book "Practical Ethics," he wrote, "When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed.... Killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Often, it is not wrong at all."
Peter Singer, "Practical Ethics," Cambridge University Press, 1979, p. 191.

Survival of the fittest, how very Ayn Rand of him.

Seriously though, I don't agree with his statements.

That's not Ayn Rand at all. Rand argues that every person should live for themselves and not for any other person. She's not opposed to people receiving assistance. She's against people demanding it and expecting it when they have done nothing to merit the aid. To Rand, it isn't survival of the fittest, it's survival of those who make survival their own responsibility.
