[CS-FSLUG] OT: Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta once said:

['Mash]

Found this quote yesterday.

Two points I think are fantastic.
The line; "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."

and that she calls calls abortion "violence" which I have never
thought of it in that term.

Fantastic and makes me love that lady more and more.

Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta once said:

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.
