My top 5 posts illuminating the Ayn Rand Institute’s intellectual paralysis over abortion.

“Why should we bother to reply to Kautski? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautski is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.” –Nikolai Lenin

First, how can I have five weblog posts on the itty-bitty little Ayn Rand Institute and its palpably false arguments in favor of abortion – intrauterine infanticide? I don’t. I have more than a dozen – so far.

Second, how is it that the itty-bitty little Ayn Rand Institute, full to bursting with Ayn Rand’s prideful minions, has not managed to write anything at all about the Planned Parenthood videos and their fallout for champions of infanticide?

My guess is that Rand’s radicals-for-perfect-conformity are engaged in a cluster-frolic worthy of James Taggart himself: Fretting, dithering, blaming, steaming – doing everything except standing up to take responsibility like self-responsible adults.

What of their staffers, donors and other insiders?

The first person to deviate from the party line will be purged. And the next. And the next. Et cetera.

I’m kicking their asses in public and they respond to me with transfixed paralysis.

How am I doing it? Like this:

  1. Taking on Ayn Rand and Objectivism on abortion: A moral atrocity cannot somehow be a political sacrament.
  2. Fisking Ayn Rand on abortion: Why her utilitarianism is necessarily anti-man, anti-mind, anti-life.
  3. Why won’t the thick-witted cowards at the Ayn Rand Institute rise up to defend Planned Parenthood?
  4. Spanking the Ayn Rand Institute on abortion and Planned Parenthood: None so deserving.
  5. Why am I infanticide-shaming the Ayn Rand Institute? Because abortionism kills humanity itself.

PS: Bonus post: Is the Ayn Rand Institute’s indefensible stand on abortion part of a clandestine intelligence op?

And another: Three story angles the Ayn Rand Institute can use to continue to evade the abortion scandals.

And yet another: Doing the job the Ayn Rand Institute is afraid to do: Abortion is incompatible with egoism.

Almost a top 10 posts: Attn. Yaron Brook: Your shameful silence on abortion spotlights the Ayn Rand Institute’s intellectual bankruptcy.

And so to 10: The Victims of the Sanction: Yaron Brook and the Ayn Rand Institute must respond on abortion.

Lucky number 11: In its ugly #abortion evasion, what else are @YaronBrook and the #AynRand Institute neglecting?
