Ummmm, clarification .... do you mean that you dismiss the idea that she was a conservative and a Rightist?
She was a big libertarian (hence her anticlericalism and pro-abortion views, I suppose); but her main identity has been as a radical capitalist and a powerful anticommunist, based on her direct experience of Communist horrors in her native Russia.
She will have been brought up Orthodox (I'm guessing here) which, if Orthodox Christianity, or Christianity in general, failed to sustain the people against the Communists, then she could have become embittered against both prelacy (the performance of the hierarchy) and faith itself.
So do you call her a non-Conservative anticommunist and libertarian and marketarian capitalist, or what?
I read Atlas Shrugged (my point of reference) and started Anthem but never finished it due to the press of other matters. Like, the Draft.
An embryo has no rights. [...] Abortion is a moral right which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. [...] For conscientious persons, an unwanted pregnancy is a disaster; to oppose its termination is to advocate sacrifice, not for the sake of anyones benefit, but for the sake of misery qua misery, for the sake of forbidding happiness and fulfillment to living human beings.
And in one of her final speeches, she attacked President Reagan and expressed her hatred for the God-centered belief system that's the foundation of America.
