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.

I was not there, but author and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan was. Here’s what she later wrote:Well, silence. Cool deep silence in the cool round cavern for just about 1.3 seconds. And then applause started on the right hand side of the room, and spread, and deepened, and now the room was swept with people applauding, and they would not stop for what I believe was five or six minutes. As they clapped they began to stand, in another wave from the right of the room to the center and the left.
But not everyone applauded. The president and first lady, seated within a few feet of Mother Teresa on the dais, were not applauding. Nor were the vice president and Mrs. Gore. They looked like seated statues at Madame Tussaud’s. They glistened in the lights and moved not a muscle, looking at the speaker in a determinedly semi-pleasant way.
Yes! As a Catholic, it is incredible to me that President Trump is more “Pro Life” than most of the Catholic Bishops in the US. Satan’s smoke and all that.
Thank you! Post of the day.

Sounds to me like they were ‘smirking’. How is it we didn’t hear about this on the lamestream for days and days afterward?
I wonder if one would/could describe their expression as a ‘smirk’... :P
I agree!
The New England Journal of Medicine reported a survival rate of about 23% for actively resuscitated neonates born at 22 weeks.
22 weeks. Now the rats want to exterminate babies at 36 weeks!!!
We are dippin into Nazi sick.
That’s interesting. Her hair style is more late 1950s.
There is too much pencil work on the portrait, which is why her head seems to float off her neck. The hair light is distinctly modern. I’d never have guessed this was taken in the twenties.
How great is that pic! Thx for posting.
