A Lesson from Blessed Teresa of Calcutta on Abortion

“America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts — a child — as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters”

“And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.”

(Mother Theresa — “Notable and Quotable,” Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14)

“But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child – a direct killing of the innocent child – murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?

How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love – that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts.

By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion. ”

“Please don’t kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted, and to give that child to a married couple who will love the child, and be loved by the child. From our children’s home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3,000 children from abortions. These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents, and have grown up so full of love and joy!”

February 1997 – National Prayer Breakfast in Washington attended by the President and the First Lady. “What is taking place in America,” she said, “is a war against the child. And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another.”

“Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.”

“It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”

Mother Teresa with a Rosary in her hand was unafraid to stand before the United Nations or the President of the United States or any personage in the world and deliver the message of the dignity of life.  May we follow her example as best we can in our own lives. Ave Maria!

Face of Pro-Life #182 – Fra Roderic and Corinn Dahm ( 29min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Friar Roderic and Corinn Dahm discuss a rather strange article found on Bloomberg’s website titled “How Roe v. Wade Empowered U.S. Investors.” So if a financial news site can focus on the landmark pro-abortion decision then we at the Face of Prolife can discuss finance, and so we did. Find out how the most radical, liberal, pro-abortion ruling has resulted in fiscal conservative presidents and congresses which have Wall Street cheering and Pro-lifers booing and how liberals Democrats may actually have more incentive to fight Roe v. Wade than conservative, “pro-life” Republicans. If only the Democrats would wake up.

Homily #130122b ( 12min) Play – Today is the fortieth anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Fr. Elias preaches on how we have forsaken not only charity but the more basic requirement of justice where we unjustly deprive the most innocent among us of the very right to life. Not only are falling short, then, of the Judeo-Christian ideal embodied in the Ten Commandments, but of the natural ideal of being  just, civilized and humane.

Homily #140122n ( 05min) Play – Fr. Maximilian reminds us that God is the author of life, and that He alone has the right to end it, but we have arrogated this right to ourselves for our own convenience, whether that life be the unborn, elderly, sick, or even our own life. We must pray and do penance for ourselves and our world that we may trust the providence of God and that the respect for human life may return.
