that is the same foundation of the pro-lifer argument. rand was pro-choice of but not by saying the unborn are humans but it is ok to murder. she thought that the child went through different stages and sell at one stage was a fish, reptiles, this crazy stuff that no one seriously believes. or if you kill an unborn being you are not killing a human. she had a way around this. she was inconsistent but she believed in the dignity of the individual. a lot of people say if you are pro-life, you are imposing some kind of religious idea on the question. that is not true. if you read the debate over the issue, you will never find anyone talking about theological questions such as when does the soul enter the body. all the need to get from the inherent dignity of the individual is a little clearer thinking in basic biology. everyone of you was at one point in time an embryo. every one of the was a fetus. every one of the was a pre-born child, a newborn. an infant, a toddler, a child, a teenager. what are those things? are we describing different
