Remembering When Mother Teresa Left Hillary Clinton in Stunned Silence on Abortion
Life News ^ | March 16, 2016 | David Andrusko

In 1994 Mother Teresa delivered a no-hold-barred pro-life speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in front of Clinton, her equally pro-abortion husband, then-President Bill Clinton, and Al and Tipper Gore.

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 its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton did not stand and did not applaud.

On the underlying question moral question discussed here, nothing addresses it better than the simple logic of this quotation from Mother Teresa, who, at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC on February 3, 1994, as cited above, stated: And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

Mother Teresa's declaration may be the most powerful statement in 2016 from which to begin discussions of where a candidate stands on all the questions of life and liberty.

In America, our constitutional protections rest on the Founders' premise that each and all individuals are "endowed by their Creator" with the unalienable right to both life and the liberty to enjoy it, or, in their words, "the pursuit of happiness."

The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.

"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address

That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.

When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?

That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.

In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.

Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, may be basic to all others. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?

Promises are illusive and cheap. One fact is indisputable, however: Hillary Clinton is committed to the Far Left's agenda on this matter, and that agenda is not compatible with our Constitution's premise.

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:17-21

When a person truly understands and acts upon these words of wisdom, it is only due to God’s Law being written upon their hearts.

It is a constant battle for me to follow this wisdom, especially during an election year where so much is at stake.

It is much easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk. Darn!

Only one baby between the two and it is nurtured and supported by both the mother and father.

That is failure.

If the child later dies, the parents have nobody. Then parents want 2 or more children just for their own survival.
Survival being our greatest instinct ALWAYS wins out, to the detriment of starving children.

What is the solution? It was not Mother Teresa.

The solution is social ownership. A caste system denies ownership, hence creates over population. Ownership of property for survival is the only force working against over population.

And that is the truth.

For all her goodness, Mother Teresa is not the solution. The solution is a Free Constitution, guaranteeing rights to property and liberty. Then a military conquest enforcing that Constitution incrementally or quickly.

Property ownership saves.

Wow! Quite the Holy Warrior going into battle! Right on, Mother Teresa!

I wonder what one would have seen if one had the eyes to see and could accurately discern all that was in that room.

Personally, I doubt I would have ever been able to sleep again if I could "see" all of "reality" as it actually was when Mother Teresa was speaking to "it".

One the day abortion was made legal in the US, in my imagination Admiral Josh Painter said,

“This business will get out of control.
It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.”
Yeah, buddy, you sure got that right. We're being lead to our destruction slowly and slyly by the Beast, just like the rest have been.

Weird thing is, God loves Bill and Hillary and has never, and will never, give up on them until...

Surprised that Hillary didn’t try to murder Mother T.

Shrillary doesn't have the guts for that. She lost all her "guts" with her marriage to her hubby, one our country's BEST liars.

Pope Francis could have done the same when he spoke to congress....Oh wait,that might have embarrassed them...Can’t be fighting for unborn babies lives if it embarrasses people..

Do you really suppose that Congress doesn't understand his point of view on the subject?????, repeating it over and over NEVER works....if you yell at your oak tree to grow faster....it ignores you.
